STRENGTH & CONDITIONING
COACH SHAWN POWELL
Head Strength and Conditioning Coach since 2014, Shawn leads Cannon’s student-athletes in the 3,500-square-foot Andrews Strength and Conditioning Center. With experience at Penske Racing and the Carolina Panthers, he brings championship-level expertise and a proven record of developing athletes at the highest level.
Coach Powell's approach to strength & conditioning focuses on four key areas
The Strength and Conditioning program offers movement sessions that focus on straight-ahead-speed (SAS) and lateral speed and agility (LSA), as well as strength sessions. Student Athletes advance in the movement and strength progressions on their own individual time frame.
By working with student-athletes on a daily basis, Coach Powell has helped them realize an increase in performance and a significant decrease in non-contact injuries. Injury treatments decreased more than 60% in the center’s first two years of use.
