November 14, 2010 The York University Lions men’s soccer team was crowned national champions for the second time in three years as they defeated the UBC Thunderbirds 1-0 in the gold-medal match of the 2010 CIS championships at Varsity Centre, Sunday night (Nov. 14). The Lions also won the title two years ago and also in 1977. The team improved its national championship all-time record to 11-4-2 and is now a perfect 3-0 in national final appearances. “We did what we were expected to do as far as I’m concerned,” said York head coach Carmine Isacco. “We just made a commitment to each other, a commitment to defending and we tried to counter, it didn’t work out as well as we wanted, but we did what we needed to win the game.” UBC, which holds the CIS record with 11 national titles since 1974, settles for their fourth silver-medal finish in program history.

On August 11, 12, and 13, 2010, Richard Bucciarelli, President of Soccer Fitness Inc., visited and toured the Rocky Mountain Performance Centre in Trinidad, Colorado. Rocky Mountain Performance is a state-of-the-art, sport-specific training facility, located in a small town about 300 miles south of Denver, Colorado. Beau Chavez, BA, ATC, who owns the facility, has developed a sport-specific strength and conditioning program utilizing the Noramco HS Elite high speed running treadmill, a unique piece of equipment that can do things no other treadmill on the planet can do. His training methods will be of interest to any coach and / or fitness trainer working with youth soccer players. “My trip to Colorado to meet Beau and see his training centre was very educational and valuable to me” commented Richard. “I am excited to have the opportunity to use what I have learned on this trip to further the advancement of the athletes I am working with. I hope to maintain a strong working relationship with Rocky Mountain Performance and the Noramco Fitness Company in the future”. The training at Rocky Mountain Performance is all centered around taking advantage of the body’s natural stretch reflexes within its muscles, to produce a maximum amount of force in a minimum amount of time. The basic principle of the stretch reflex is that when a muscle or group of muscles is rapidly stretched, they will respond with a forceful near-maximal contraction. This is actually a protective mechanism that our bodies have developed over time to prevent muscle pulls and tears; however, when used properly as a training tool, this protective mechanism can unleash all of the body’s power in a split second.
