Doug Champion took his love for the sport of rodeo and his passion for fitness and brought it together when he started tailoring fitness specifically to the needs of rodeo athletes.
He has taken it a step further by launching Optimal Performance Academy, a place where athletes can fine tune their skills from a physical and mental standpoint with the help of coaches who Champion handpicked.
“We wanted to see exactly where these guys were physically so that we could break all that down, make sure that we’re setting up their workouts to properly fit them as we’re going throughout this week and just really set them up for success,” Tyler Bunton said.
Essentially, Champion’s Optimal Performance Academy is specialized training for each event that is over a span of days where athletes leave ready to take on the rodeo road.
