More than 3.5 million children under the age of 14 receive medical treatment for sports injuries every year. High school athletes account for 2 million injuries, 500,000 doctor visits, and 30,000 hospitalizations yearly.

We believe there is a better way.

At DPT, we are dedicated to developing stronger, faster, and more resilient athletes. Our science-backed training programs focus on enhancing speed, strength, agility and overall athletic performance, while also prioritizing moblity, injury resistance and mental toughness - key factors in long-term success.

We believe that every athlete has the potential to reach new levels of performance with the right training, mindset, and guidance. Our goal is to provide structured, individualized coaching that helps our athletes improve movement mechanics, build explosive power, and gain confidence in their sport to perform at their best.

We train athletes at almost every level, from building a solid athletic foundation and preparing for the next level, maximizing explosive power, endurance, and sport-specific skills, for middle and high school athletes, and high-level strength and performance training athletes looking to take their training beyond team practices and workouts.

Our athletes have included everyone from beginner athletes, NCAA Division I Athletes, former and current Miss North Carolina’s Teen, as well as former Miss America’s Teen. No matter what your focus of play, we’re here to help you achieve your goals with a personalized plan designed to fit your needs.

Ready to get started? We are, too. We require all athletes to fill out an Athlete Intake Form before their first training session. This information helps us establish safe and proper assessment techniques and gain a deep understanding of what is most important to improve on with your athlete. Once you have submitted this form, you may book your initial assesssment. Your trainer will provide recommendations for how often you should book moving forward.
