IGCT Episode #291: Brad Leshinske "Time Is Precious"



Bio

As a strength and conditioning coach for 14 years, the road to my current position has been a blast. I started as an athlete at North Park University playing football. As a senior I worked at Atheltico Physical therapy doing rehab aid work with adults and athletes. Post graduation I worked as a personal trainer at Highland Park were I began their first speed and agility class. I worked with over 60 clients a week in personal training and with over 30 athletes a week in sports performance.


I left Highland Park and worked at TP Sports, just training athletes. Within that facility we had some of the best athletes on the south side of Chicago train there. My boss left and I opened my own shop,Atheltic Edge Sports Performance in 2008. During that time from '08 -'12 I trained over 5000 athletes in various sports. I moved to Florida in pursuit of helping a friends business out in which we trained more than 100 athletes a day from youth do professional. In 2014 I moved back home to Chicago and have been working for Fit Code LLC for 3 years and I am happy to come to Mount Prospect and train athletes and adults in the realm of Human Performance.
