about us
our story
At Altitude Performance Retreat, we're driven by a passion to empower young athletes to reach their full potential. We believe that every athlete deserves the opportunity to succeed, both on and off the field.
Our journey began with a simple yet powerful idea: to create a supportive community where young athletes could grow, learn, and thrive. We saw a need for a holistic approach to athletic development, one that addressed the physical, mental, and emotional needs of each athlete.
Today, our team is dedicated to carrying out this vision, providing comprehensive programs, expert coaching, and a supportive environment that fosters growth, resilience, and success. We're committed to helping young athletes develop the skills, confidence, and character they need to achieve their goals and make a positive impact in the world.
our founder
My athletic career was turned upside down by a foot injury, leading to my athletic release from Baylor University. As the top-ranked high school high jumper in 2011 and 2012, a two-time state champion, and a Division I scholarship recipient for both basketball and high jump, my dreams of becoming a collegiate and professional athlete suddenly seemed out of reach. I battled depression — which impacted my academic performance.
However, I refused to let these challenges define me. I earned both my bachelor's and master's degrees in education, dedicating myself to understanding athletic development. I worked tirelessly to rehab my injuries and pursue my dream of becoming a professional athlete. My determination paid off when I competed internationally in basketball and placed second in the high jump at the 2017 USA Track and Field Nationals.
Seeing many young athletes struggling as I had, I knew I had to take action. That's when Altitude Performance was born. Our mission is to empower young athletes to reach their full potential by providing comprehensive programs, expert coaching, and a supportive community.
Join Me on This Journey
I invite you to join me in empowering young athletes. Let's create a community of champions who believe in the power of sports to transform lives. Together, we can make a difference and help young athletes reach new heights.
Sincerely,
Allex AUSTIN
