Bridge's calendar programming gives players autonomy during the nine-week off-season and five-week dead period. Lovett tracks engagement data as a leading indicator of body composition and readiness when players report to training camp.
How the LA Rams Deliver Individualized Programs to Boost Performance and Mitigate Injury Year-Round with BridgeAthletic
The Rams were the 2024 NFC West Champions and won Super Bowl LVI in 2022. When Justin Lovett joined the program as senior director of strength & conditioning in 2020 he took not just a positional, but an individual approach to programming. BridgeAthletic has allowed him to create eight different positional training blueprints. Within those blocks, 60% to 70% of the roster can have individualizations that he and his team can effortlessly tweak and customize year-round whether in the off-season or during training camp, and share with private and collegiate coaches to help foster athlete performance without overtraining.
