Welcome!
Hi, my name is Chris Barnard,
Founder of Overtime Athletes, a performance facility here in St Petersburg FL. Over the past few years, I’ve worked with some of the most elite athletes in the MLB, NFL, NBA, and even the Olympics.
On top of that I have over 1.5 million followers across 5 social media platforms by simply sharing training advice of my systems I use with my athletes.
But before all of this.
Before my social media following.
Before I had a thriving performance training business…
And before I worked with a single professional athlete…
I was a broke trainer working with stay at home moms and overweight business men at LA Fitness.
Nothing against these people, but I wasn’t passionate about working with the general population at all.
So I traded the LA fitness for an 800 sq ft warehouse gym on the sketchy side of town.
I began working with athletes.

On top of that I have over 1.5 million followers across 5 social media platforms by simply sharing training advice of my systems I use with my athletes.
But before all of this... Before my social media following...
Before I had a thriving performance training business…
And before I worked with a single professional athlete…
I was a broke trainer working with stay at home moms and overweight business men at LA Fitness.
Nothing against these people, but I wasn’t passionate about working with the general population at all.
So I traded the LA fitness for an 800 sq ft warehouse gym on the sketchy side of town.
I began working with athletes.
But while I was way more passionate about working with performance athletes…
The money was worse, and the hours were longer.
Each day, my alarm blared before the sun came up.
I was at the gym by 5:30 AM.
I coached every hour until I got home at 9 PM.
Then I woke up to do it again the next day.
I worked in the trenches like this for years…
Overworked, underpaid
Loving what I was doing, but at the same time, doubting my future.
And more importantly, seeing all my friends working high paying jobs, buying homes, cars, and progressing through life.
It felt like I was stuck.
But it was at that point I had a light bulb moment…
If I wanted to get paid more to develop high level athletes…
I needed to develop myself first.
After getting my degree in Exercise Science at the University of Miami, I doubled down on my education.
I paid for every course, seminar, and coach available in the performance niche.
I paid thousands of dollars to learn from Olympic track coaches.
I competed in Strongman to learn strength from the strongest athletes on the planet.
I even documented a training series where I set a goal to hit a 42” vertical jump when I wanted to deep dive into plyometrics and developing power - and I ended up hitting 44 inches.
All of these experiences plus many more molded and shaped my coaching until I dialed everything into a system.
And from there, I was able to successfully apply this system to the few athletes I was working with.
And they got very big results, in a short amount of time.
They were bigger, faster, stronger, and most importantly, more explosive.
And that’s what matters in athletics -
Explosiveness
If you can’t build an athlete’s explosiveness - nothing you do will translate to the field or court.
Once these athletes got results, they told all their friends.
Their parents told other parents.
And soon, I had more business than I knew what to do with.
Every day, new athletes found me.
I stopped marketing and advertising, and new athletes still showed up.
Eventually, I found myself working with dozens of athletes at a time.
And eventually, I had no choice but to open up a bigger facility.
Then, hire a team.
And to this day, athletes continue to find me.
My business continues to grow.
With very little effort on my end.
Now, you might be in the same boat as I was…
Trading your time for money.

Feeling overworked, underpaid.
Or, you might’ve never even worked with a single athlete before.
Or, you might be in a totally different situation.
Wherever you’re at, if you’re interested in training athletes…
I made this for you…
As a way to “pay it forward”...
And give passionate coaches the guidance I never had.
So they can shortcut years of struggle, trials, and tribulations…
And build a business doing what they love - helping athletes get great results…

Introducing
Performance
Coach U
This isn’t your regular run of the mill personal training certification. I wanted to create a course that cut through all the text book jargon and loaded down definitions to give you the raw and real experiences of developing athletes on a day to day basis.
I wanted to create a course that a coach could really use as a template to apply and develop athletes.
Here’s what’s in Performance Coach U
1. Performance Coach U Course
Gain full access to Performance Coach U: 14 Modules, 160+ Videos, 75 Worksheets, and Additional Resources. This course includes my exact testing protocols, how I develop linear speed, agility, and quickness, how to program plyometrics and progress them, and how to maximize strength that translates to sport.
2. Complete Program Catalog
Get master access to every program I’ve ever created (over 50). Not only you get all of my best selling programs I sell on a daily basis but you also get access to all the supplemental programs such as our nutrition programs, our optimization program, mobility, conditioning and any other program we offer. In addition, to this I’ve even created added all my personal programs I use with my professional athletes here at my gym. Once I’m done coaching them in the offseason I simply load them up for you to have.
3. Direct Support from Coach Chris Barnard
Every week we hold a line QnA where you can ask me anything from business to athletic development. Join other coaches in a live discussion on various topics and support you through the course.
