Every athlete deserves pro-level coaching
Beyond Performance exists to give athletes at all levels a comprehensive approach to reaching their athletic potential, using evidence-based training methods. Every program is built for one athlete: their sport, their position, their season and the equipment they have.
Coach Francis combines a Master's in Exercise Physiology and a background in kinesiology and rehab sciences with 8+ years of coaching athletes from high school to the pros. That mix of performance training and rehab knowledge is why athletes come to him to get faster, stronger and more resilient, and to come back from injury.
