Best Of The Best - The Only Program For Sports Performance Coaches Looking For Proven Strategies. Become A Better Coach And Grow Your Sports Performance Program!
It's Like A Network, Mastermind, Mentorship, and Coaching Group Rolled Into One Group
Coach,
I'm just like you. Someone who earns a living in the strength & conditioning field.
I made my first dollar in the field in 2000 after graduating with an exercise science degree and not knowing what to do.
I became a personal trainer at a corporate fitness facility in Boston (where I ended up becoming the manager of the largest personal training department in Boston).
Then I interned for the person I believe to be the best sports performance coach in the industry.
While doing this, I was also coaching high school track and then started running speed & sports camps.
I decided to start my own sports performance company in 2004. I later created some products, courses, and certifications. Opened my own facility, started some and partnered with others in some big sports performance businesses.
All this to say, since 2000, I have worked every day at the craft and industry that I love that we call ‘sports performance’.
There were many hours working in solitude – Working. Learning. Observing. Applying.
Like you, trying to figure things out. And like you, I love our industry.
But, we as a community, need to GET IT TOGETHER!
We have an incredible opportunity to do good and help so many people.
Yet our ‘industry’ is filled with IG ‘stars’ who do crazy exercises that don’t actually improve performance and can cause more harm than good. S&C Twitter who only critique and tear down. Facebook ads for gimmicks and tricking kids and parents on what is needed.
Then when it comes to the business-side, how we sports performance entrepreneurs should grow and run our business, the ‘experts’ are those who have never run a sports performance business or have only run a business for a few years and have no proven system.
I don’t know about you, but running a 6 week weightloss challenge isn’t going to help me bring in more athletes. Or learning their cold calling strategy or sliding into DM’s, might not work the same when you work with youth athletes.
As much of a mess as our industry looks like from afar, I know how many amazing coaches and entrepreneurs are in it and doing good every day.
So, I wanted to invite you to something special…
As you know, sports performance coaches and facilities have their own unique challenges that do not fit with the general fitness gyms and trainers. But all the information out there is about how to pick up one on one PT clients or how to run weight-loss challenges.
So I wanted to create something that will truly help today’s sports performance and strength & conditioning coach - and this group has been developed specifically for you!
The Athletes Acceleration APEX Group!
Quickly, About Me
(This is the obligatory bio for those who want to know a little more)
My name is Pat Beith and I am the owner and founder of Athletes Acceleration. I run a 20,000 sq/ft sports performance facility in MA now, but way back in 2004 I started my company running camps & clinics for athletes (mostly speed camps but have run some of the largest camps in the country throughout the years). We were getting such great results, coaches and athletes outside of our area wanted to know what we were doing with our athletes to get them faster, so in January 2005, we launched our first product/course – Complete Speed Training.
I had no idea how film, edit, or create a product. No idea how to create a website or write sales copy. No idea how to get traffic. No idea how to capture email addresses or send out emails to them. No idea how to take orders. No idea how to make DVD's, manuals or ship them out. Had no list. Had no money. Started from exactly zero. Complete Speed Training turned out to be the best selling speed training program ever (sold in over 120 different countries).
I have created and published and helped launch more products and courses than I can remember, working with some of the biggest names in the industry and also helped some local coaches with no exposure become ‘household’ names in our industry. I have had the biggest product ‘launches’ in our industry (I will share some of these wild stories later).
I was an owner in two franchises. In the Entrepreneur Franchise 500, one franchise was ranked #193 and the other was ranked #271 - along with recognition among the Fastest-Growing, Best Low-Cost and Top New Franchises along the way. In 2014, they were ranked #1 Personal Training Franchise by Entrepreneur Magazine and the other franchise was ranked #1 Youth Fitness & Sports Performance Training Franchise by Entrepreneur Magazine.
In addition to that, Franchise Business Review ranked us as the Top Fitness Franchise and Top Midsize (all industries, under 500 locations) Franchise in North America (basically the franchisor that had the happiest franchisees). We had close to 300 franchisees. I ended up selling my shares in each, but that will be a story for another time.
In 2017, I started the National Sports Performance Association (NSPA) because there was not a certification organization out there that was addressing the needs of the S&C coach working with athletes, with real applicable information that coaches could use and apply with their athletes and teams on topics such as speed & agility training, program design, sports nutrition, and weightlifting,
The NSPA wasn’t the only certification I was involved in. I previously was a co-owner of the International Youth Conditioning Association (IYCA), I am not anymore - again, another story for another day, but at the time, it was the largest youth sports & fitness certification organization around.
We still run events, camps, and clinics. For athletes of all different sports to our Complete Speed & Power Summit and National Conference for coaches.
I have also started businesses and programs that failed. I taught a college health & fitness class, which wasn’t my favorite.
I had multiple business partners (some good, some bad, but it makes for some great stories). I invested money and lost (the best investments have always been in myself)
And now I want to share my experiences with you to help you on your own sports performance journey!

TEAM MEMBERS
We've all heard the old Jim Rohn quote “You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.” Now there are different variations of this quote and some qualities may not be accurate, but the premise behind it is.
Who we surround ourselves with and what we allow into our brains, are extremely important.
Our environment. Our social circles. Our business/work circles.
What we learn, who we learn from, what we study, what type of content we put in our heads daily – matters! It all matters!
The better the group we surround ourselves with, the better we do and the better we want to do.
The words that you speak matter. The words we hear daily matter. The words that we tell ourselves matter. The words our community speaks around us matter.
Growing up, if all of your friends were working out and training daily, you would be training daily and be in great shape. If all of your friends were studying and getting good grades, the odds of you getting good grades would be high.
Again, who you surround yourself matters.
One of the problems is that we tend to isolate ourselves. Being a coach and entrepreneur, it can be lonely. A lot of us 'work in the dark' as they say, by ourselves. And even if you try and network, in some towns there aren’t any coaches to network with and discuss training and business with.
During COVID, I was fortunate enough to call a bunch of different coaches to ask how they were handling the situation, because locally, people with ‘normal’ jobs couldn’t relate to what I was going through, to what facility owners and entrepreneurs were going through. My circle of friends and colleagues were a lifesaver.
Our environment and our circle, normalizes things. They help when we need it, but it makes learning, working hard, working smart, and chasing daily greatness – it makes those things our standard. If everyone in your circle is doing that, that becomes our normal. Always Striving for Better.
So, along with sharing what we are doing at Athletes Acceleration, I am opening up my rolodex (is that still a thing?)!
One of the things I am most proud of is my network.
The friends I have made in our industry over the past 20+ years are the best of the best. Even better is their willingness to help out other coaches and share what is working for them.
You will not only learn from me and what Athletes Acceleration is doing, but I am going to bring in the leaders in sports performance so that you can learn from the best! You will get different perspectives from coaches throughout the country that are walking-the-walk daily.
My goal has always been to empower sports performance coaches. To share knowledge, not only from myself, but the industry's best coaches, with other coaches trying to get better, so ultimately we can help more athletes achieve their goals.
I use phrases like 'Chasing Greatness' and 'Better Never Stops' because I truly believe we were put on this earth to help people. And if you share my passion of coaching and helping athletes, then we have to be and give our best. And in order to do that, we can never stop learning and getting better. It's an endless journey, and one that I'm proud to be on. I hope you will join me and the team on this journey...

Athletes Acceleration APEX
I have been in coaching groups and masterminds forever. I truly believe in their power, especially when you get the right group together. However, the $10K to $50K a year groups I was involved in, just aren't reasonable in our industry. Don't get me wrong, some of those groups were amazing (others not-so-much). I believe I can offer the same value without having to charge an arm and a leg. The main reason is, I want everyone to be able to have access to this information and these amazing coaches without having pricepoint be the limiting factor. Looking forward to having you join our group and team!
