We provide speed, endurance, agility and run coaching for Lewis Center and Central Ohio athletes

Looking to elevate your game to the next level? Consider sports performance training to enhance your strength, endurance, speed, and agility.

We coach athletes in Track, Cross Country, Soccer, Football, Lacrosse, Basketball, or any sport that requires speed, agility, and quickness. We also work with adults who want to become better runners through our run coaching services.

Not only can sports performance training improve your physical abilities, but it may also help mitigate the risk of injuries.

We work with all experience and ability levels.

We work with all athletes regardless of ability. We can coach athletes who are brand new to their sport and all levels of competition.

We have complete beginners through state qualifiers, champions, and college-bound and off-season college athletes.

The Run For Performance Difference

Experience and industry-leading certifications

Coaching is more than a “weekend certification” for us. We have years of experience, and our coaches are certified through certifying agencies and organizations like NASM (National Academy of Sports Medicine),  Precision Nutrition, National Strength and Conditioning Association, USA Track and Field, the Road Runners Club of America (RRCA), and more.

Each coach stays up to date by frequently attending advanced training, clinics, and continuing education training to ensure they are always up to date with the latest principles in sports performance. 

All coaches are First Aid/CPR/AED certified and undergo nationwide criminal background checks and SafeSport certification.

Individual, Evidence-Based Training

We strongly believe that our athlete’s success comes from our 12+ years of experience that follows periodized, evidence-based training methodologies. Each athlete is unique, so our training must be customized to each person to see the best results.

We customize everything 100% based on each athlete’s situation and goals. This allows us to make small adjustments and modifications based on real data and athlete feedback. We don’t just give you a bunch of workouts and tell you to follow our plan.

We are invested in each athlete and make the time to prepare outside of our sessions, so your session is targeted for what needs done that day.

Unlike many programs, we do not use generic, canned training plans and spreadsheets or group a bunch of kids together in small groups, giving parents the illusion that running around doing random exercises in a gym is making them faster.

Training without focus and planning is exercise. It will make you healthy. But likely, it only leads to mediocre results.

We build athletes up, not tear them down

Each coach is non-judgmental, caring, supportive, and motivating. Every athlete has down days and weeks. Not every workout will be perfect. We work to get the best out of every workout so that progress is still made.

Instead of yelling, we use positive reinforcement techniques that allow our athletes to build a fire and drive that comes from within.

We are vested in your success!

We are a USA Track and Field member club

USA Track & Field is the governing body of the sports of track & field, long distance running, and race walking in the United States.  

Its mission is to “foster sustained competitive excellence, interest, and participation in the sports of track & field, long distance running, and race walking.”  

As a USATF member club, we are committed to help move their mission forward.

We are not a “running club”. We support Central Ohio adults and athletes who want to develop in the sport of Track and Field and/or long distance running regardless of their level of participation and competitiveness.  

We support our community and schools where we live and work

Run For Performance financially supports many local schools’ athletic boosters. We believe in the power of sport and athletics and want to make sure everyone, regardless of ability, race, gender, or background, has access to the benefits that sport has to offer. 

All coaching sessions are held in Lewis Center, Ohio.

We are based in Lewis Center. However, we coach athletes from all over Central Ohio.
