Our Mission

At Higher Level Performance, we believe in training the body, mind, and spirit together. Our mission is to help individuals recognize the importance of including Christ in every part of life while equipping them to become stronger, healthier, and more athletic. We go beyond physical fitness by fostering a deep understanding of identity in Christ, which fuels both mental and physical strength. Each workout is intentionally designed to align with the athlete’s current sports season and is supported by regular prayer. Before every session, we share a “Higher Level Perspective”—a spiritual and mental challenge that provides purpose and motivation beyond the gym. These monthly themes explore topics like character, resilience, and faith, encouraging athletes to live and train with intention. Through this approach, we cultivate personal responsibility, honor, perseverance, and a positive impact on ourselves and others.

Coach BROD KEENER

STRENGTH & CONDITIONING COACH

After coaching athletes for nearly a decade, I’ve realized there are deeper needs athletes have then just physical abilities in order to be at their best for competitions and for daily life. With this in mind, I’ve created a purposeful training model that aims to develop the whole athlete. Coach Brod has been training athletes, individuals, and teams since 2017. In 2020, he founded Higher Level Performance with the vision of elevating physical development through evidence-based training. He holds a graduate degree in Exercise Science with a concentration in Performance Enhancement and Injury Prevention, and is a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) through the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA). Coach Brod has successfully worked with athletes across all levels—from elementary school to collegiate competition—helping them achieve measurable growth in strength, speed, and performance.
