Advanced Sports Performance
Our Story
Built by a Mother Who Saw the Gap. Designed to Close It.
When our founder watched her young daughter enter a training facility for the very first time many years ago, she saw firsthand how differently female athletes were treated. She did what Moms do — she didn't wait for someone else to fix it.
Why We Exist
When Leslie's daughter began athletic training, the disparity was impossible to ignore. Female athletes were an afterthought in facilities built around male programming, male culture, and male priorities.
As a retired police officer and Army veteran, Leslie's response was straightforward: build the facility that should already exist. Advanced Sports Performance opened in October 2023 — rooted in female athlete development and built to serve any athlete in this community who wants quality training without the pressure or price tag of big program culture.
We serve athletes of all ages — from youth team training to adult private sessions and massage. Our clients range from beginners finding their footing to competitive athletes at every stage of life.
Veteran and female-owned. Shelby Township, Michigan.
