How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
I was a strength and conditioning coach at the University of Nebraska from 1985-1989. I wanted to help reduce the number of injuries in young athletes and help increase their performance and self esteem. We empower kids to learn how to take care of themselves.
