Keith Starks
My name is Keith Starks, and I bring over 14 years of experience in the training and performance world — from one-on-one sessions to full team development, working with everyone from third graders to senior adults. But my true passion lies in youth sports.
I specialize in helping young athletes build a strong foundation before they reach high school — not just physically, but mentally. My goal is to ensure they move well, feel confident, and are fully prepared to compete. I believe that early development is key to long-term success, and I take pride in creating a safe, fun, and challenging environment for growth.
