About The Sport Specialist

Many of us have experienced the “training alone” journey, pushing ourselves too hard and wondering which information and training plans to follow. There’s so much advice in the online marketplace and with so many different voices, diets, and “coaches,” it’s easy to get lost in the noise. Having experienced that ourselves, we provide Specialists who have real-world know-how and have put in the work to give you trustworthy guidance.

The Sport Specialst was born of the philosophy that you don’t have to do it alone.

Training for success in your athletic pursuits is hard. In an information marketplace filled with generalized advice and “coaches” who promise easy results, it can be confusing to know where to turn. 

Having experienced this ourselves, we're here to offer another way. The Sport Specialist is a network of actual sports professionals and experts who have walked the path and know what actually leads to success. We listen to you and clarify your goals and pair you with the right Specialist who works with you to create a custom tailored training program, offering encouragement and connection along the way. While we work with anyone looking to level up their performance, we focus specifically on high school and college athletes, parents of student athletes and serious adult athletes. In addition to our expert network, we also connect you to our Sport Specialist Community, where you can meet other parents and athletes with similar goals. We’ve learned that the first step to success is finding the right support. If you’re ready to take that step, we’re ready to meet you there.
