Brian Bott has been a performance strength coach for 20 years. He has worked with professional football players like Russell Wilson, Gabe Carimi and Travis Frederick. Athletes walk through the door at Sports AdvantEdge and leave with state championships under their belt.

Bott says the accolades are not what he remembers most from his career. “I remember after a game when you hug an athlete who has had success and the moment is emotional for both of us because we know how much time has gone into that athlete’s success,” Bott says. “Those are the moments we remember.”

Many of his athletes start at Sports AdvantEdge as young as 8 years old and continue through the various programs until reaching high school and college. Some, including his own children, continue working at the gym throughout their professional careers.

“It is amazing,” he says. “We are always part of the equation.”
