Generalist. Advocate. Connector.
I am a performance coach and clinician with experience from the private sector up through the national team level. My passion is bridging the gap between sports medicine and performance.
Elite athlete preparation, injury risk reduction and the restoration of athletic normal are all part of the spectrum of human performance. The key is to see this process through the lenses of movement and literacy — physical, intellectual & behavioral.
Objective: Connect with organizations and professionals interested in developing systems to holistically support their athletes.
Philosophy
Whether it is restoring an athlete back to athletic normal or preparing for the Olympic Games, I take the following approach:
Meet the Athlete Where They Are
Teach the Process
Build Habits & Competencies
Good Preparation = Injury Risk-Reduction
Foundation of Movement Literacy
Apply the Basics Year-Round
Plan & Program for
Health
Development
Readiness

Testimonials
“I am very thankful I had the opportunity to work with Tracy as a national team aerials athlete. Tracy helped my knowledge of and respect for the gym grow, along with my confidence in myself. She guided me and worked with me to personalize my training while I was coming back from injury and as I was preparing for a long competitive season and a shot at the 2018 Olympic team. Our journey together has been one of the most important pieces of my success and growth as an elite athlete.”
“There are many performance coaches for hire, but there are few that are world class. Tracy Fober is a world class athletic development coach who has worked with athletes that span the spectrum from Olympic medalists to serious amateurs like me. I’ve worked at all levels of athletics coaching from developmental to professional and as high school athletic director for 25 years, I unequivocally attest that Tracy Fober is one of the best in the field of athletic development.
