“During the COVID-19 pandemic, our club, FDL FHC, joined forces with Shedd Performance Systems (SPS). Without a doubt, the experience with SPS was exceptional in every way. They catered to every athlete ages 8-18 through differentiated instruction in addition to educating the athletes on how to build a solid strength and conditioning foundation. SPS provided the athletes with motivation and encouragement resulting in more conditioned and stronger athletes after our 10 week block. Nick was fun, approachable and knowledgeable and pushed our athletes to become better every week. I would absolutely recommend SPS to any program looking to improve the strength, speed and endurance of their athletes.”

“I was fortunate to work with Nick on the US National Team for about
three years. During this time I benefited tremendously from his
extensive knowledge and expertise on injury prevention, strength and
conditioning, speedwork, and mobility. I was so appreciative of his
willingness to customize programs to each athlete’s individual needs.
Nick is always putting in the extra effort to innovate and remain
creative in his methods to help his athletes stay ahead of the
competition. Nick definitely helped me become a stronger, fitter, and
faster athlete while always keeping injury prevention and recovery a
priority. This focus on both performance and recovery allowed me to
reach my peak physical ability and took my game to the next level.”

“I worked with Nick during my time on the USA Women’s National Field Hockey Team while preparing for the 2018 World Cup and 2020 Olympic Qualifier. He was a vital asset to my training during my career and made me a stronger and faster athlete. He gave me tools to ensure I was at my optimal performance on the field by incorporating hydration, recovery, jet lag prevention, and nutrition into my programing. He is a performance coach that will really listen to your needs as an athlete and will go above and beyond to help you reach your goals. I highly recommend him to anyone wanting to take their game to the next level.”

“I reached out to Nick for some guidance in managing jet lag and a weight cut for the 2017 Lightweight Highland Games World Championships. With Nick’s help, I arrived in country with literally ZERO jet lag effects, felt great and was able to balance proper nutrition and hydration with a weight cut. All of this helped me to a 3rd place finish in the world! I myself am a sports performance coach and have a masters degree in exercise physiology and still sought out Nick for his help. I have recommended others and would absolutely recommend Nick’s consultation for these services for anyone traveling across time zones anywhere, anytime!”

“Coach [Greg] Shedd was a very important part of my development as an athlete. I first worked with him during my high school track days in which he provided me the tools to aid me in my recovery and strengthen my areas of weakness. That same year I went on to win 4 different state championships, Gatorade Athlete of the year for South Carolina and earned a full ride scholarship to Arkansas State University. I am now a professional Adidas Sponsored athlete and I have been using those same tools on every level of the sport. He is dedicated and determined to give you the best care possible and I thank him for everything that he did and continues to do for me.”
