At Competitive Edge in Woodbridge, Virginia, the team of expert trainers knows how important it is to condition the complete athlete, not just the physical side. This means training the psychological side, as well as training conditioning to truly strengthen athletic performance.

When most people think of sports training, this is the part they think about. Austin Brown is the Strength and Conditioning Coach for Competitive Edge. He is a former athlete in the NFL and the Arena Football League. “When you have trainers who have been certified, it helps out a lot more. That’s what we provide at Competitive Edge,” Brown says.
