For the first time in India, I-Span has introduced the 7 Essential Services for athletes at various levels, from budding talents to seasoned professionals. Our innovative 7 Essential Services provide comprehensive support and assistance to athletes across all types of sports.
What We Do?
Our athletic plan reflects our organized goals of providing athletes with everything they need to excel in their athletic careers. The plan encompasses several crucial steps.
Step 1: Vital Assessments
As part of our unique athletic plan, we conduct essential assessments, including:
Physiotherapy Assessments
We evaluate and analyse the athlete's physical condition, sports-related issues, and medical history. Our comprehensive physiotherapy assessment includes:• Testing muscle strength using objective markers• Analysing the athlete’s movement patterns to identify any issues• Testing range of motion and flexibility to prevent sports injuries
The results help physiotherapists develop personalized rehabilitation plans tailored to the athlete's needs.
Sports Psychology Assessments
Mental well-being plays a crucial role in enhancing physical fitness and optimizing athletic performance. We offer counselling sessions and talk therapy as part of our psychological assessments, which include:
• Cognitive ability testingThis analyses the athlete’s strengths and weaknesses in thinking and problem-solving. Based on our findings, we provide targeted training and sports-specific development.
• Sports anxiety level testingWe assess the athlete’s anxiety levels, helping them cope with competitive pressures, build confidence, and perform well under stress. This also helps us gauge their confidence in managing expectations.
• Competitive behaviour testingWe analyse the athlete’s competitive drive to determine their potential for excelling at higher levels. Based on the results, we offer tailored support to enhance their chances of success.
Strength and Conditioning Assessments
Strength in muscles and bones is crucial for athletic success. Athletes with stronger, more flexible muscles tend to perform better. Our strength and conditioning assessments include:
• Flexibility testsWe conduct a variety of flexibility tests, including shoulder flexibility, groin flexibility, sit-and-reach, and broad jump tests.
• Muscular strength and power testsWe evaluate muscular strength, which is essential for performance. The power and strength of supporting muscles is a key factor in determining an athlete’s potential.
• Agility testsThese tests assess the athlete’s agility, muscular balance, quickness, and ability to change positions efficiently.
• Cardiorespiratory fitness testsWe perform shuttle run and 12-minute run tests to evaluate the athlete’s cardiovascular endurance.
• Static postural testsThese assessments identify issues with muscular strength, flexibility, range of motion, and body alignment.
Nutrition Assessments
Our nutrition assessments evaluate the athlete's BMI, identify nutritional deficiencies through blood tests, assess overall nutritional status, and analyse body composition. At ISPAN, we consider the specific demands of the athlete's sport when conducting these assessments to create a tailored nutritional plan.
By taking this comprehensive approach, we ensure that athletes receive the best possible support for their physical and mental well-being, setting them up for long-term success.
Step 2: Assessment Results
After completing the assessment round, we generate a custom assessment report as the next step. Based on the results, we proceed with the subsequent steps in the plan. Our assessment report is tailored to the athlete's mind, body, and career. This detailed report includes vital information about the athlete's body type, physical capabilities, strength and endurance levels, and areas that need improvement.
Step 3: Meet-up with Athlete & Parents
After reviewing the athlete's assessment report, we schedule one or more meetings to discuss our findings with both the athlete and their parents. During these discussions, we explain the athletic plan for the next three months and how this individualized plan can benefit the athlete. If necessary, we also arrange parental counselling sessions to guide parents in enhancing their skills and supporting their child's athletic career.
Step 4: Commencement of Sessions
Next, experts at I-Span collaborate to develop a comprehensive athletic plan. Based on this plan, we initiate fitness training, posture correction, and counselling sessions for the athlete. During the first three months, our primary goal is to cultivate a sportsman mindset and prepare their body for their specific profession. Throughout this phase, we also focus on providing optimal nutrition tips and preventing injuries.
Step 5: Parents, Trainer & Coach Meetings
The next step at I-Span involves conducting Parents, Trainer, and Coach Meetings to closely monitor the athlete’s progress. These regular meetings are crucial in ensuring that the athletic plan, carefully tailored to the athlete’s needs, is being followed effectively. I-Span emphasizes a collaborative approach, where feedback from parents, trainers, and coaches is incorporated to make necessary adjustments. This holistic system ensures athletes stay on track, whether it's refining posture, improving performance, or focusing on mental resilience. These meetings provide a platform for open communication, enabling a unified effort toward the athlete’s long-term success and overall well-being.
How Our Athletic Plan Stands Out?
Our 7 Essential Services set us apart from the rest. Nowhere else in India will you find such a comprehensive athletic plan supported by these key services. These 7 essential services address the crucial areas of an athlete’s career, driving them toward success. Through these services, we offer:
Sports Physiotherapy
At I-Span, we prioritize injury prevention through tailored training and recovery programs that benefit both budding and advanced athletes. For newcomers, this approach helps build a strong foundation, minimizing early risks. For seasoned athletes, it ensures sustained performance and longevity in their careers by reducing the likelihood of overuse injuries or strain.
Sports Psychology
At I-Span, we have developed a unique module tailored to athletes at all levels, from beginners to advanced players. Our focus is on emotional counselling and performance enhancement, while ensuring a balanced approach to sports, academics, and mental well-being, fostering overall growth and success for each athlete.
Strength & Conditioning
At ISPAN, we deliver sports-specific strength and conditioning services tailored to each athlete’s unique needs. Recognizing that different sports require varied levels of physical conditioning and focus on distinct body areas, we create fully customized plans. Our programs are designed based on the athlete’s sport, body type, and age, ensuring optimal performance and development tailored to their individual requirements.
Sports Medicine
At ISPAN, our sports medicine experts are highly trained physicians with extensive knowledge of sports-related injuries. They provide comprehensive assessments and guide athletes and their families through testing procedures, essential dos and don’ts, and medication management. Our goal is to enhance both health and sports performance through expert advice and tailored care, ensuring optimal recovery and improved athletic outcomes.
Sports Recovery Massage
Recovery from sports injuries is vital post-tournament or competition. At I-SPAN, our skilled therapists employ a range of massage techniques to address muscle tear, painful knots, tension, inflammation, and scar tissue. This essential recovery process helps athletes regain their form and peak performance. Our sports recovery massage services are designed to accelerate healing and restore optimal function, ensuring athletes can return to their best swiftly.
Yoga aligned with Psychology
In addition to strength training and endurance exercises, we guide athletes in practicing yogic poses for holistic mental relaxation and physical development. Originating in India during the Vedic ages, yoga integrates ancient principles with modern techniques. Beyond its physical benefits, yoga offers profound psychic value by fostering mental clarity and emotional balance. At I-SPAN, we blend these time-honoured practices with contemporary exercises to enhance overall athletic performance and well-being.
Nutrition
Proper nutrition is crucial for athletes, providing essential energy and aiding in recovery and performance. At I-SPAN, we guide athletes in optimizing their nutrition to support their physical demands and enhance performance. We offer tailored nutritional guidance for both off-season and in-season, considering their specific sport, body type, and age. Given India's diverse food culture, our nutritionists and dietitians create customized diet plans that respect regional preferences while ensuring athletes receive the best support for their body’s needs, contributing to peak performance and overall well-being.
