Hi Everyone! My name is Alan Ozdamar nicknamed Oz for short. I am a catalyst for developing results and breeding ingenuity with my teammates. Passion and innovation are qualities that guide my work. My professional nature has allowed me to work with clients of all disciplines. 

The experience I have has led me to hold a diversified skill set. Groomed under business professionals and medical staff alike such as DC’s, PhD’s, international and  strength coaches I the clinical knowledge to interact fluidly with all departments of an organization and drive results based off needs assessments.

Moreover, because of my extroverted demeanor and magnetic rapport building skill-set I can facilitate a great working relationship with all clients and colleagues.

•	Created periodized programs specific to the Seven's season. Responsible for documentation of player injury management files, strength training profiles, S.A.Q. regiments, and GPS data. 
• Biometric measurements Perceived Observational Mood Status (POMS) were recorded daily. Sleep quality, stress levels, emotional status and physical fatigue were all rated and documented. These compiled into an overall player profile to develop a trend line for future performance optimization.
•	Instructed the athletes on proper execution of acceleration/deceleration mechanics. Coordinated and implemented top end speed mechanics, Maximal Aerobic Speed Conditioning, multi directional proprioception drills, period appropriate plyometric movements, and sport specific power development. 
•	Responsible for showing all athletes proper nutrition guidelines, ISSA approved supplementation, and restorative techniques to enhance recovery and performance.
•	Worked intimately with the lead Physiotherapist/ATC to develop injury management programs for injured players. The goal was to support optimal return to play status as soon as safely possible.

USA Rugby National 7’s Strength and Conditioning Coach

•	Created the first total on field strength and conditioning program specific to the sport of Lacrosse.
•	Utilized unconventional tools and methodology to develop significant full body resilience. Ground based movement activation was a foundational approach to joint integrity for my athletes’ resilience.     
•	I designed the 4-month pre-season program as a 5-day upper/lower split with a soft tissue mobility day to split the week. The training program encompassed lift specific movement prep, complementing S.A.Q drills, and Bi-Lateral/Unilateral French Contrast Methodology leading up to the season.

Strength and Conditioning Coach

•	Lead instructor for a Strength, Speed and Agility Camp that had campers ranging from novice to elite. Each camp class would vary between 15-25 kids.
•	My goal was to teach each athlete about proper warm-ups previous to lift sessions utilizing activation, mobility and stability modalities to ensure injury risk reduction. Prior to on field speed and agility training, I would put the athletes through a full body “joint by joint” dynamic warm up.
•	Instructed campers on how to perform basic plyometric movements with eccentric absorption for impact resilience, proper sprinting mechanics to streamline kinematic patterns, and designed agility drills utilizing proprioception to determine foot placement/ angle and center of gravity management.

•Assisted with program design and implementation of Strength and Conditioning Programs for all athletic teams.
•Actively directed athletes to “pre-hab” common areas of dysfunction due to their specific sport and the associated benefits. 
•Demonstrated and exacted proper execution of soft tissue therapies including SMR, joint mobilization, corrective exercise, and partner PNF.

•	Played an integral part in training firefighters for the Linden Fire Department. This included strength and power development, EST, and job specific proprioceptive exercises. 
•	Created organized and executed mobility, flexibility, and S&C camps for the Westfield High School Men and Women teams. Created Strength and Conditioning programs for the Union County Rugby Football Club. They went to nationals each year following my prescription. 
•	Advised athletes on adequate nutritional values and NCAA approved supplementation.
