I'm the founder, owner and head coach of Tangeman Training Systems, a high performance facility for athletes located in Papillion Nebraska.
As a young athlete, I was driven to outperform my competition, determined to gain an edge on the court and on the field.
But despite my efforts, I felt like something was missing. So I signed up a local private training facility try to maximise my physical performance, and with it, opportunities to further my athletic career.
Training in a private facility had a huge impact on my performance. I made improvements I didn't think were possible at the time. But ultimately, professional athletics was not in my future, and my athletic career came to a close at the University of Nebraska, Lincoln, where I was pursuing a degree in Nutrition, Exercise, and Health Science.
By now, a passion for training had taken root with me. So I decided to put my degree to good use, and channel this passion into becoming a coach, and helping other athletes to maximize their performance like I had done in my own career.
Early in my coaching career, I took the standard path of gaining experience by internships and placements. They were eye opening experiences for me and I learned a ton.
But at the same time, I was also exposed to some glaring and common failings of private sector performance training: athletes being herded around in massive groups, generic workouts, and individual needs being ignored.
Many workouts were chaotic, unstructured, and lacked clear progression. At best these workouts were sub-par. At worst they might even be exposing athletes to unnecessary risk of injury.
I made myself the promise that if I ever opened my own facility, I'd do things differently.
As I developed into my coaching career I began to develop my own training philosophy, drawing upon my experiences as an athlete, coach and academic. It centered on the following key principles:
Eventually, in the summer of 2021, I decided to put my money where my mouth was. I was going to open my own facility and coach athletes my way. TTS was born.
We opened our doors with the promise that we would never deviate from 3 key principles:
1) No cookie cutters or massive groups. We program and coach individually for all athletes in a small group setting to provide high quality coaching and feedback, address their weaknesses, enhance their strengths while preserving maximum quality.
2) We never work for work’s sake. We do deliberate, purposeful work around the athletes needs and abilities to keep our athletes fresh and healthy.
3) We don’t chase gym numbers. We reverse engineer the demands of the sport and position to improve performance where it matters- on the court, on the field.
Fast forward three years, and the results speak for themselves. We've trained over 500 athletes, from junior high to 13-year pros, helping them achieve remarkable improvements in speed, power, strength, and conditioning.
Our athletes have seen an average increase of 3 inches in vertical jump, a decrease of 2 tenths of a second in their 10-yard dash time, and gains of 30-40lbs on their main lifts.
With over 50 athletes advancing to the D1 level, our system has proven its effectiveness in boosting athletic performance and accelerating growth.
At TTS, every athlete undergoes rigorous initial testing and needs analysis to create their individualized performance plan. Our unique Omni-Contraction System develops explosive speed, power, and strength while building muscle and game-long conditioning.
Join TTS and surround yourself with highly successful athletes committed to excellence. Experience the transformative power of personalized coaching and unlock your true athletic potential.
