Coach Ron Moncrief

“Working with Melanie Redd and Melanie Redd Performance Training has been a game changer. What sets Melanie apart is the way she takes the time to truly understand both coaches and student-athletes before building a program. Her strength and speed training is never a one-size-fits-all approach she designs programs that are tailored to each team’s needs, which not only maximizes performance but also significantly reduces injuries.

Whether she’s working in person or virtually, Melanie prioritizes relationships and communication, making sure every athlete feels supported and every coach feels heard. That personal investment translates directly into results: stronger, faster, more resilient athletes who are prepared to compete at their highest level.

Melanie is not just a strength and speed coach, she’s an expert in her field and a true partner in athletic development. If you’re looking for someone who can elevate your athletes while building a culture of trust, strength, and performance, Melanie Redd is the coach you want in your corner.

Coach Ann Vogel

“Coaching cross country and track and field for 32 years, I felt comfortable developing and executing event specific workout plans for my athletes, but I lacked knowledge and experience with strength training.  After speaking to Coach Melanie Redd, I was excited to have her work with my athletes.  From the teams first session, Coach Redd took the time to understand our training and goals, then created a customized program tailored to fit the teams needs. 

Coach Redd’s extensive knowledge of biomechanics and exercise science is evident in every workout.  She individualizes workouts that are age and experience appropriate.  She educates coaches and athletes on proper technique, injury prevention and the importance of recovery. With each workout, not only did my athletes improve their strength and have less injuries during the season, they also gained confidence during practice and competitions. 

If you’re looking for a strength & conditioning coach who genuinely cares about your athletes and delivers results, look no further than Coach Melanie Redd.”

Coach Brent Lewis on post season performance

“It was wild to see in our post season play, how far we have come as a program from a strength & conditioning standpoint.  Our opponent was bent over hands on knees in the second half.  They are as physical as we are in every aspect, and we went toe to toe with them, giving it right back to them.”

 “Coach Mel’s ability to help prepare athletes pre-season, and continue her program in-season has had a noticeable positive impact on the health of student-athletes to compete injury-free. In my first year as head coach, we had no significant injuries causing players to lose court time. I attribute the strength and endurance of my team to the work that Coach Mel does in the weight room with the student-athletes. Her knowledge and skill in preparing and maintaining athlete’s bodies for the physical wear and tear of a sport complements the technical training we provide as specific team coaches. I’m so grateful for the combined effort we give to these student-athletes to give them the best chance at success on the court (or field)!”
