PLAYER DEVELOPMENT

The Virginia Tech basketball program and its 'Stone By Stone' slogan are based on six pillars: smart in decisions, tough in battles, relentless every day, with no excuses, obsessed with greatness, and endlessly skilled—this is more than a team, it’s a standard.

STRENGTH & CONDITIONING

The main objective of the Virginia Tech men's basketball strength and conditioning program is to reduce the risk and severity of injuries while maximizing on-court performance through a comprehensive, science-driven approach to athletic development.

Our training system is built on proven methods that include ground-based, multi-joint movements, high-velocity explosive exercises and the principles of muscular overload, periodization and specificity. Every aspect of our program is designed to prepare our athletes for the demands of elite basketball performance.
