How do you know where to send your kids for sports training? Who can you trust? Are there any differences between coaches and performance facilities? We have spent years researching, studying and analyzing these questions at Underground Performance.
As parents you probably have hundreds of questions swirling around in your mind about where is the best fit for your child and student-athlete…
Because these are your kids, your most prized possession, it’s important that you understand and know the differences between coaches, facilities and training systems.
So let’s cut to the chase…
Yes, there is a major difference between training facilities and coaches. It is not a one size fits all approach.
Background of Underground Performance
Your first question might be who is Underground Performance and what makes you different and unique?
First, a brief background of who I, Ryan Romano, am and what makes Underground Performance’s system so unique…
I am a former Division I college athlete at West Virginia University. I do not say this to brag but rather help you understand that I have been in the trenches and can teach from EXPERIENCE…
Too often many coaches are teaching from “theory” or “textbooks” on what it takes to raise each individual athlete’s level of performance. Each young athlete has their own goals…
For some it’s all about just winning a starting spot on the Varsity High School Team others want college scholarships and want to compete at the highest level. That is part of our assessment process…
You tell us what YOUR Goals are. If you do not have any yet we spend time teaching you how to define them. Once you have a clear direction as your coach and mentor I now know what standard to hold you too…
Effort and Expectations must be equal!
That’s not just your effort in the gym while training with us…
- That’s your effort in the classroom
- Effort in growing as a person
- Effort with relationships at home (Are you helping around the house)
- Taking on Personal responsibility.
- What’s your social media accounts look like?
We could go on forever but I think you get the point…
Main Point
The main point here is that training like getting stronger and faster is a byproduct of our system…
Will they get stronger and faster? YES!
But we use training as a tool to build your child’s confidence, mental toughness and to help mentor these young athletes into “The Total Athletes”…
I know I know. You’re thinking yeah every coach from the school and even other training gyms say the same thing…
They all say things like “We work to develop great young men and women” or something along those lines.
How We Differ
The difference between us and them is we can back it up with proof!
For instance one of the most important pillars within our system is mentorship! We have studied, researched and analyzed how important it is for young athletes to have a mentor in their lives…
So I did the same thing and hired my own mentors…
I have spent tens of thousands of dollars in mentorship sometimes paying up to $4,000/month to my mentors…
That’s how important we value our system and practice what we preach…
How many other places have you come across that invest their money into areas like mentorship? Or I have spent hundreds of thousands in personal development and mindset coaching and events…
Even spending $15,000 on one event alone…
Paid $20,000 to hire a research firm to help us better understand physical and mental struggles this generation of kids are going through…
Things like bullying, drugs/alcohol, stress, anxiety and suicide. Or on the lighter side the importance of confidence, self-love and coach-athlete relationships…
That’s how we differ from anyone else in the country! Just as you make an investment to hire us to serve and provide massive value to your kids…
We invest back into ourselves so that we are constantly evolving and growing to pour more back into your kids.
The Iceberg System
As mentioned above we have spent years developing our 4 pillar approach to develop our unique and results driven system we call “The Iceberg System”…
As I am sure when you saw our logo and wondered why the heck there is an iceberg in the middle of it!
But I bet you have seen or heard about the image below:
There is that small cap of an iceberg that sits about the water…
It’s the success, happiness, results, outcomes, abundance or whatever goals you are striving for and it’s the only piece of the iceberg 99% of the people see…
But you know there is SO much more to it than that. It’s that MASSIVE part of the iceberg that sits below the surface, “The Underground”, part that developed your own level of success…
It’s things like having a strong mentor in your child’s life that create MASSIVE RESULTS! People will see them getting stronger, faster, quicker in the best condition of their life and will wonder what goes into creating those results…
It’s having the right strategy for your child to get optimal results and every other place is missing the boat on this part…
They believe it’s about having fancy equipment, doing fancy drills they see on Instagram and a host of other wild ideas BUT they are forgetting “The Underground” part, the part sitting below the surface. The part we preach everyday at Underground Performance.
Strong Mentorship, Building Supreme Confidence, Mental Toughness combined with High Performance Training will skyrocket your child to achieving their dreams…
That’s the system we practice and preach here at Underground Performance Institute.
