Optimal Performance Training Center
Training Done Right.
Who we are
West Michigan’s Elite Training Center for youth Athletes. We pride ourselves on only taking in 11-15 year olds; we begin coaching athletes at the perfect moment in their physical and mental development.
Why we are
When you visit our center, it can change your life. The atmosphere of confidence and character bleeds into every aspect of our training program. A confident athlete wins on the field and in life.
Where you are
Are you seeking something different? An opportunity to be great? Become part of an elite community. Become a member of the OPTC family and know that there’s always a spot open for you.
How it starts
It begins with a desire to be great. It ends with championship trophies and rings. Somewhere in the middle is where we work. Sit down with us for an interview and we’ll help you get there. One day at a time.
Training may be personalized but the environment doesn’t have to be. We offer group style training to encourage competition and accountability, all while tailoring workouts to the individual that help improve all areas of performance. It’s the Goldilocks approach to training volume and intensity. Not too much, not too little, but just the right amount.
Is Optimal Training for you?
The people who have the most success with us aren’t always the most genetically gifted or physically capable athletes but rather those who demonstrate these three traits:
- Consistent
- Hard-working
- Committed
The individuals who buy into OPTC as a journey will reap far more from our programming. The individuals who allow us to be a part of their story will ultimately become part of the OPTC family.
When it’s all said and done, we are working with human beings first and athletes second. Building relationships is our #1 goal. Once relationships are built, the real work can begin.

Dreams are free. Goals have a cost. While you can daydream for free, goals don’t come without a price. Time, Effort, Sacrifice, and Sweat. How will you pay for your goals?
