We help cultivate the children of this area all year, with our summer sports and baseball boot camp for kids, sports performance classes for young athletes, private baseball and softball lessons, baseball specific camps and clinics, and our Nationals baseball and softball travel teams. Our sports performance program offers young athletes speed & agility, strength, mobility, and velocity training. We also host private baseball and softball lessons with state of the art HitTrax© machines that allow the student to see where their ball was projected to go, and TrackMan Technology, a system for pitching found in professional stadiums across the world and across hundreds of minor league and amateur parks. This technology allows us to evaluate our players, develop a plan to improve and refine their craft, save time practicing, and most importantly allow us to coach with certainty.

The Performance Academy also offers training for those injured and returning to their sport with personalized training. We provide private training to those of all ages, and we host a variety of adult fitness classes at our facility.

Director of Sports Performance Read more Read less

Born and raised in Raleigh, NC, my first athletic love was football. My career was cut short by injuries after my freshman year of college. I then transferred to East Carolina University where I studied Kinesiology and Physical Education. While in school at ECU I began to train and compete in the sport of Olympic Weightlifting which I continue today. After graduating in 2014 I moved to Akron, OH where I was the head strength and conditioning coach at CSI for 4 years. Since moving back to NC my wife and I have settled in Apex while I have worked in general population personal training for the last 2 years. My true passion lies in helping young people become the best athletes and humans they can be while staying injury free and humble. I am very excited to step into this role and help the athletes of this area reach their full potential through proper strength and speed training.
