EZIA GIVES BACK!!
Nantucket is known as the island retreat for the rich and famous, so it may come as a surprise that there are many local families who struggle to get by on the island due to the high cost of living and other complex factors. Teenagers are especially susceptible to depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and suicide due to the long, cold, and dark isolated winter months on a remote island with little to no recreational facilities or activities available outside of school.
​
EZIA is spearheading a community health initiative with a new 501c3, and is partnering with local organizations to provide equitable community access to health and fitness for all teenagers, at little to no cost for those who qualify. Part of our mission is to give back to the communities that we serve and strengthen their citizenship. We subscribe to the Positive Coaching Alliance philosophies and methodologies.

Similar to the Robin Hood effect, each new member that joins our club is contractually obligated to pay an annual assessment fee ("Endowment Fund”), In turn, EZIA will subsidize a local island teens student membership - providing a positive and welcoming community gathering place year round that fosters individual well-being regardless of financial ability.

The student's application should include a personal statement addressing what health and wellness mean to them, the positive impact of club membership, and specific life and/or career goals that will be achieved with the help of the program. Additionally, students must secure sponsorship from a teacher or coach on their behalf, essentially a character reference that is not a parent.

After careful consideration and evaluation of our current programs, we believe that we bring numerous advantages to our athletes and the overall success of our sports programs. We are in the process of working directly with NHS Athletic Department Varsity coaches to deliver a world class program at no cost to the school.
Here are some of the key reasons why our efforts exist in this capacity:
​
1. Improved Athletic Performance
Ezia Athletic Club has a proven track record of enhancing the athletic performance of its members through expertly designed strength and conditioning programs. By integrating our expertise into individual and team training regimens, we anticipate significant improvements in our athletes' strength, speed, agility, and overall performance on the field, court and life. Our specialized knowledge in sports performance will help our athletes reach their full potential, allowing them to compete at higher levels and achieve more success.
​
2. Decreased Injury Risk
One of our primary concerns as coaches is the health and safety of our youth, students and athletes. Unfortunately, injuries are common in high school sports, often due to inadequate conditioning and improper training techniques. Ezia Athletic Club's experience in injury prevention and rehabilitation is invaluable to our program. By implementing our comprehensive training strategies with teens, we can better prepare our athletes' bodies for the physical demands of their sports careers, ultimately reducing the risk of injuries and keeping them healthy and active throughout the season and on the long term.
​
3. Overall Improvement of Athletic Program
A strong, well-rounded strength and conditioning program is the foundation of any successful athletic program. We aim to elevate the overall standard of our training practices, and provide our athletes with access to state-of-the-art equipment, innovative training methods, and a team of experienced professionals dedicated to their development. We believe this will not only improve the individual performance of our athletes but also enhance the reputation and success of Nantucket High School's sports programs as a whole.
​
4. Better Experience for Our Students and Athletes
The well-being and development of our student-athletes is our top priority. Partnering with Ezia Athletic Club will provide our athletes with a structured and supportive training environment that encourages growth and achievement. The expertise and personalized attention offered by our staff helps our athletes gain confidence, understand the importance of fitness and conditioning, and develop a lifelong appreciation for health and wellness. This holistic approach will contribute to a positive and enriching experience for every student-athlete involved in our program.
​
In conclusion, we firmly believe that a partnership between Nantucket High School and Ezia Athletic Club will be mutually beneficial. By collaborating, we can create a premier strength and conditioning program that will lead to improved athletic performance, reduced injury rates, and a better overall experience for our athletes. We are committed to working closely with coaches and teams to develop customized program that align with team goals and values, and we are confident that together we can achieve great things
