At Ground Force Strength and Conditioning Training Systems, we go beyond traditional training by focusing on the full spectrum of athletic development—both muscular and neurological. Unlike many competitors who emphasize one-dimensional fitness or sport-specific skills, our approach is grounded in scientific principles designed to support long-term growth and injury prevention.

Our Story

At Ground Force Strength and Conditioning Training Systems, we specialize in developing youth athletes through an innovative blend of strength training, neuromuscular conditioning, and sports performance strategies.

Founded on the belief that true athletic excellence requires a holistic approach, we focus on enhancing both muscular and neurological development to improve performance while significantly reducing the risk of injury.

Our unique Ground Force Training System addresses the growing concern of single-sport specialization, which often leads to imbalances and overuse injuries in young athletes. By integrating diverse training techniques and functional movement strategies, we create well-rounded athletes who are prepared to excel in any sport they pursue.

With over 15 years of experience in human movement science, strength training, and injury prevention, we are committed to providing each athlete with the tools they need to maximize their potential both on and off the field. Whether through our sports performance programs, physical therapy, or nutrition coaching, Ground Force is dedicated to fostering long-term health, resilience, and excellence for athletes of all ages.

James Walsh, founder of Ground Force Strength and Conditioning Training Systems, launched the company in 2014 after witnessing firsthand the challenges young athletes face during critical stages of growth and development. As a father and experienced trainer, James saw the need for proper evaluations and training approaches that cater to the dynamic growth patterns in children and adolescents.

Motivated by his own children's experiences in sports, James recognized the gap in youth athletic development, where many programs failed to address the crucial muscular and neurological changes that occur as children grow. Determined to make a difference, he combined his extensive background in human movement science, strength training, and injury prevention to create a system that not only improves athletic performance but also safeguards the long-term health of young athletes.

With over 15 years of expertise, James has worked with athletes of all levels, from youth soccer players to collegiate and professional athletes. His commitment to scientific rigor, individualized assessments, and injury prevention has made Ground Force Strength a leader in the field, providing athletes with the tools to excel and thrive.
