Become an Athletes Acceleration Licensee
Discover The Fastest Path To Building A Lucrative, Fun, Highly Successful Youth Fitness & Sports Performance Business
Coach,
Have you ever wondered how coaches that aren't half as good at actually improving their athletes are running successful businesses while you are struggling to build the business that you want?
If so, you're not alone. Do you know the biggest reason why plenty of mediocre coaches run some of the most profitable businesses? It's very simple...
Because Being A Good Coach Isn't Good Enough...
While you’ve been focusing all of your time and energy toward becoming a great coach, the competition – who you can coach circles around – has been focused on marketing and selling to grow their business.
Sure, the parents and athletes may figure out that your competition isn’t actually making anyone better, but that doesn’t really help you because not only did your competitor get them in the first place – but if they’ve done a poor job they’ve also probably soured those athletes and their parents on the value of working with a sports performance coach all together.
Either way, you lose.
That’s why, after 14 years of helping quality coaches become the best at what they do, Athletes Acceleration is launching our own License Network.
We wanted to help coaches who are great at what they do to build successful and lucrative businesses – and do it the right way.
Our mission is to partner with great coaches who consistently deliver results for their athletes to be able to build businesses that provide them with profits and freedom for years to come.
The Truth About Building A Successful Sports Performance Business
Fact #1 – You MUST Be A Coach and a Businessperson.
You can’t ‘out coach’ being a bad businessperson and you can’t out market bad coaching.
To run a successful sports performance business you must be proficient at both training and business. Let’s face it – without athletes to coach, it doesn’t matter how good of a coach you are. You need to be able to market and sell. You need to be able to manage your business.
You need to have systems in place to grow.
But make no mistake… being good at business alone isn’t enough.
If you’re a great coach, then you’ll see the results of your marketing efforts multiplied. You’ll retain your athletes easily and have a flood of referrals consistently coming your way.
If you want to run a sports training business that athletes, coaches and parents seek out, earn a substantial income and have the freedom to enjoy it – then you need to be a good coach and a good businessperson and business. Ignoring either one will make lasting success almost impossible.
Fact #2 – Business Is Too Tough To Go It Alone.
Even if you are the best coach in your area and, you still have to go through the expensive and time consuming process of figuring out what works and what doesn’t when it comes to running a business.
It’s like trying to map a minefield by stepping on every landmine.
Think about all of your jobs as a business owner:
- Coach
- Operations Manager
- Marketing Director
- Salesperson
- Publicist
- Human Resources Director
- Finance Manager
- Web Designer
It’s almost impossible to be an expert at all of these. It takes being able to learn from someone else’s mistakes… and their successes… to really avoid the obstacles that stop most people in their tracks and build a great business without practically bankrupting yourself in the process.
The problem with trying to figure all this out on your own without leaning on someone else to tell you what’s worked is that there just aren’t enough hours in the day to figure out everything you need to need to know to run a great business, stay at the top of the profession as a coach… and actually train your athletes.
So the moral of the story is this: if you want to run a great training business, learn from people that have been (or are) where you want to go.
Fact #3 – Right now is the greatest opportunity our industry has ever seen for opening and operating a Sports Performance Business.
Youth sports have become more competitive than ever before. And like it or not, the days of kids going out and playing in the sandlot are a thing of the past, so now more than ever before, parents are seeking out coaches to help their kids improve and reach their athletic potential.
Regardless of how you feel about this trend – it’s happening and parents are spending billions (yes, billions with a ‘B’) on coaching for their children.
But in spite of that, 98% percent of the trainers and coaches in this industry will still fail to build a successful business – or even a successful career.
While that’s bad news for most, it’s great news for you.
If you’re willing to do what it takes to build a business around great coaching delivering a great service to the athletes you coach – then you’re better positioned than ever before for success.
And that’s what the Athletes Acceleration Network is about.
If you’ve ever dreamed of owning your own successful sports performance business – this is your chance.

Patrick Beith is also the Founder and CEO of the National Sports Performance Association (NSPA).The NSPA is the gold standard certification organization for speed, power and total athlete development.

It’s for sports performance coaches who are dedicated and driven to get their athletes better.

Pat Rigsby
And Pat Rigsby has his own set of experiences he brings to the table:
He was a College Head Baseball Coach and Strength Coach, leading his baseball team to a 5th place World Series finish as well as having a National Championship and National Runner Up finish with programs he was the Strength Coach for…so he understands where athletes are trying to go.
He’s owned my sports performance business – likely similar to the one that you currently run…so he’s been in your shoes.
He’s been the CEO and Co-Owner of the then-largest Youth Fitness & Sports Performance Certification Organization in the country…so he understands the balance between long-term athletic development and the ‘immediate gratification’ era we live in.

Each member of the Network will have a protected territory based on population size of 75,000.
One concern we had when we initially formed the Athletes Acceleration Network was this:
“What if we have two of our members/licensees in the same town, using the techniques they learned through the Network, but they ended up competing against each other?”
That’s NOT a situation we wanted to deal with.
So…
We solved that issue by giving you exclusive control over your area.
That’s right.
A protected territory of a population of 75,000 surrounding your location to ensure that you maintain your competitive advantage as part of the AA Network.
Important: The Athletes Acceleration License Is Territory Specific
What that means to you?
We are limiting each licensee of the Athletes Acceleration License to local zip codes adding up to the population size of 75,000. This way you aren’t cannibalizing any other Athletes Acceleration Licensee's business - allowing you to dominate your local market!
You'll have your own exclusive territory to maximize the chance that the training and message for your prospects/athletes are seeing from you is only being seen from you.
Once a territory is taken, no other AA License will be sold to that territory. No exceptions.
The reason we are doing this is that this is the first time we are releasing the Athletes Acceleration Network Location program and we want to make sure it’s awesome for the coaches who come on board. We want to be able to make sure that each person that enrolls gets our full attention.
We do not know how quickly your territory will be taken, so if you are interested at all, now is the time to get in.
So please note, since we are using locational territories, once your zipcode is taken, you will not be able to become a licensee. We want to make sure that all of our Athletes Acceleration Licensees are dominant in their area and standout above all the other gyms and training facilities. This provides you with the security of “owning” your local area.
If you want to become an Athletes Acceleration Network Location don’t wait. Now is the time to register.
