About Corey

About the Author

Corey Addison is a Strength & Conditioning Coach and Human Performance Specialist with a Master’s degree in Exercise Science and certifications including CSCS and CPSS. He has coached across inner‑city high schools, Division I and II programs, and the U.S. Army, developing athletes in environments ranging from fully equipped collegiate facilities to small gyms with minimal equipment.

 

Across these diverse settings, Corey learned that great coaching isn’t about perfect resources or environments — it’s about having a clear plan, teaching movement well, and building athletes with consistency and intent. Peak Performance distills the systems he’s used for over a decade to help hundreds of athletes move better, get stronger, and stay healthy, giving coaches a practical blueprint they can use immediately.

“You don't need perfect conditions to build strong, fast, resilient athletes. You need a plan, a system, and consistency.”
