GOATA MOVEMENT SYSTEMS

Given my previous experiences, along with a lot of research, education, and training, I set out to develop a complete training program that provides my athletes with a program based around the GOATA Movement System. 

This training philosophy is centered around improving the athlete's movement, rather than simply just "lifting weights" which results in a more explosive AND durable athlete. 

RELENTLESS MINDSET 

An athlete's success and performance does not only come from their physical skills.  The mindset is also an extremely important component and is often overlooked in other training programs

PEAK NUTRITION

Nutrition should be an important component for a serious athlete looking to perform at their best.Because of this, we've designed a nutrition system to not only improve overall health, but also to enhance performance and recovery.

"The training style adapted by Elite Sports Performance is far more advanced than anything else I have ever experienced in a professional setting.

Bobby has combined his unique experiences to form a truly advanced training model, meshing together aspects from his own playing experiences, years of real world, "Under the bar" training along with a strong foundation in scientific research and study.​  

Bobby's “hybrid” system pairs the latest, most-proven training techniques and injury prevention with a truly enthusiastic, no-nonsense environment, creating an absolutely unparalleled training experience. I have been fortunate enough to collaborate with Bobby on many performance-based research projects, and I can say, without hesitation, that he is a master of his field.

​

​Elite is truly ahead of their time and the results are beginning to speak for themselves. I look forward to continuing a professional relationship with Elite for years to come."
