STL SPORTS PERFORMANCE TRAINING

STRENGTH. SPEED. POWER. CONFIDENCE

​

For over 25 years, Fitzmaurice Performance has helped athletes throughout St. Louis and across the country become stronger, faster, more explosive, and more resilient. Our comprehensive sports performance training program was developed by Brian Fitzmaurice, CSCS, a strength and conditioning coach with more than 25 years of experience developing athletes. Since opening in 2000, Fitzmaurice Performance has established a reputation for developing athletes who have gone on to succeed at the high school, collegiate, and professional levels.

Many of our most successful athletes began training with us at the youth level and developed through our system over the course of their athletic careers. Becoming a great athlete does not happen by chance. It happens through consistent training, proper coaching, and a long-term commitment to development.

​

The Fitz Athlete Development Approach

​

At Fitzmaurice Performance, we believe athletic success is built through long-term athlete development.

Athletes improve the most when their training progresses in a structured way as they grow, mature, and gain training experience.

At Fitz, you may see younger athletes learning movement mechanics, coordination, and body control while older athletes are developing greater strength, speed, and power through advanced training methods.

​

Every athlete is at a different stage of development.

But the mission is always the same:

Build stronger, faster, more resilient athletes over time.

​

This development approach has helped many Fitz athletes earn recognition including:

• All-Conference honors
• All-District honors
• All-State honors
• All-American honors
• College recruiting opportunities
• College athletic careers
• Professional sports opportunities

This allows us to determine the athlete’s current performance level, identify strengths and weaknesses, and recommend the most appropriate training program.
