The Process

If you'd like to participate, there are three steps:

Step One

To begin supplemental training at the HITC, you must be placed on an available Team KUSA HIT squad. These squads are limited to 6 athletes. The squad will train at the HITC one day per week on the selected day. Each session is one hour long.

Step Two

The first thing the HITC will do is a 30 point athletic evaluation. It's a one-hour testing session that provides a baseline for 30 aspects of your athletic abilities and identifies limitations. It serves as the foundation for your customized training program.

Step Three

One your evaluation session is done, your following sessions will all be focused on athletic development that is sport-specific to Olympic Taekwondo. As coaches, we will be monitoring your HIT program and working with the HIT staff to tailor the program to our needs.
