Kelton Mehls PhD, CSCS, RPR Level 1

My journey in training started nearly 20 years ago in the 7th grade when I wanted to be a better football player, and it has yet to stop. Throughout high school I was a multiple time all-conference football player and wrestler and a 2x state medalist in the discus. My love for training and athletics led me to Division 1 Track and Field at Robert Morris University, a M.S. in Exercise Science and a PhD in Human Performance. Currently I pursue my athletic endeavors as an amateur highland games athlete. I have coached multiple NCAA provisional and NCAA qualifying athletes in the discus, hammer, and shotput. Currently I serve as an Assistant Professor of Health Sciences at Duquesne University as well as a Volunteer Throws Coach for the NCAA Division 1 University. I have authored several academic publications, as well as published articles on popular training websites like Tnation.com and Elitefts.com. I am a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist through the National Strength and Conditioning Association, a Reflexive Performance Reset Level 1 Coach, a Youth Exercise Specialist through the National Academy of Sports Medicine and am well versed in all things strength and conditioning. While I am constantly learning and evolving, all of this experience has taught me this: there is no one right way, there is only the best way for you! Let myself and the outstanding team at Elite Sports Performance Lab help you realize your potential.

I love training. It has given me a life and career that I would never have thought possible. Growing up we are constantly reminded that one day sports will end. I am here to tell you they don't have to. There is always a way to compete and do what you love.
