Welcome to Umberger Performance Systems!Hi, my name is Scott Umberger. I was born and raised in the Pittsburgh area. After living in Columbus, Ohio for the past five years, I have recently moved back to Pittsburgh. The purpose of the move was to start training clients in the city that I grew up in and love! This website is a testimony to my love for making a difference in peoples’ lives. With my desire to become the best performance enhancement coach in the business, this site will grow and evolve with my life experiences. What are your dreams? What are your goals? What is the “perfect you”? If your goal is making the high school team, to be rewarded with a college athletic scholarship ($100k+), make the NHL, reach your goal weight, or simply create the “perfect you”, I am the expert who can make those dreams come true. My 16 years of performance/physical enhancement experience will benefit athletes at all levels, as well as those who just want to become fit and to stay in shape! Regardless of your goals, I will help change your attitude towards life and how you feel about yourself. It all starts with you! Success isn't easy, or we would all be happy in a job we love, making six figures, working 30 hours a week, and be in perfect health. I believe that life is a journey, and I look forward to the challenges that that I face daily. I believe that this quote from the greatest basketball player of all time sums up failure and how a great attitude can yield unparalleled success. "I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed." - Michael Jordan I consider myself a life coach as well as a strength and conditioning coach; hence the term, “performance enhancement coach”. I was a business owner in the financial services industry for several years on straight commission. This experience taught me first hand that a discipline plan, combined with exceptional commitment, can lead to outstanding results. If losing weight was easy, everyone would be like Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. If making "the league" were easy, every kid at the local rink would be the next Sidney Crosby. I am the coach who will sit down with you and find out what motivates you to help achieve the perfect you! As far as training athletes is concerned, I work with other sport specific coaches (football, hockey, skating, lacrosse, etc.) to help athletes achieve their dreams. In my 4 Step System, I set my priorities on the Psychological, Physical, Tactical, and Technical aspects of training (see training methodology). Through dream realization, I aim to inspire the clients to achieve mastery over their mind and body. This confidence and strength is an unrealized benefit when they leave the playing field and have to make decisions daily in their lives and careers. With more novice client, I take a similar approach in training. With the psychological aspect being the priority, I have found that novice clients have more challenges due to life obligations which tends to derail progress. Using a variety of tools, I keep workouts innovative, fun, and challenging -- always pushing the client towards their goals! These workouts are available in personal or group sessions lasting 30 or 60 minutes in length. Greatness isn’t hard to achieve. It’s rather simple if viewed from a distance. One must be disciplined, systematic, and driven. Is greatness being a gold medalist, a CEO, or doctor? Maybe... I believe greatness is pushing to the limit (and maybe beyond) the tools and talents that God has given us. Larry Bird comes to mind, as does Lance Armstrong, Alonzo Morning, and so many others who overcame great obstacles ( – their own mortality) and didn’t listen to the word "can’t"! I'll leave you with the most intense quote that I have ever read from the greatest wrestlers of our time! He was always 100% dedicated to what he was doing at that time. "No one can completely believe that I am natural. The most important drug is to train like a madman. The people who accuse me of taking drugs are those who have never trained once in their lives as I train every day of my life" - Alexander Karelin PhD.- 3X Olympic Gold Medalist in Greco Roman Wrestler, 9X World Champion and went 10 years without giving up a single point.
