Head Coach // Founder
Former Division 1 collegiate soccer player. Now building the training she wishes she'd had.
Athlete 2.0 was founded by Head Coach April Russell, CSCS. As a former Division 1 collegiate soccer player, she strives to provide the type of training she wishes she'd had as a youth player.
The mission is simple — give athletes the experience and the training to envision and reach their goals of playing at an elite level.
The method
01 // SPEED
As a partner of the Universal Speed Rating Speed Lab, we focus heavily on speed development through acceleration, max velocity, change of direction and deceleration strategies. Every block is built against a measured number.
02 // STRENGTH
This isn't powerlifting, bodybuilding or high-intensity training. We develop the athletic qualities that transfer to the field or court — and build an athlete resilient enough to hold up through a season.
