Today we’d like to introduce you to Frank Adams.

Frank Adams is the owner of Xcelerate Sports Development. Originally from Gastonia, North Carolina, Frank was a standout athlete in football and track at Ashbrook High School. He was an all-area quarterback who took his Greenwaves to the state semi-finals. In his junior year Frank won the state championship in the 60-meter dash and took 5th place in the National High School Meet at Yale University.

Frank’s high school heroics landed him a four-year scholarship at the University of South Carolina, where he lettered at running back his redshirt freshman year, before becoming a starter at defensive back for 3 years. In his junior year, he was a second team All SEC candidate and won team defensive and special team MVP.

Frank ended a stellar college career with a free agent opportunity from the Pittsburgh Steelers, where he spent a year. He finished his professional career with a stint in Canada as part of the Toronto Argonauts and then with the former Connecticut Coyotes of the Arena Football League.

With heart and determination to make it to the highest level in his sport, Frank has overcome an athlete’s greatest obstacle with a height of 5’ 9”. Along with over 15 years of playing and training experience, he brings drive, knowledge, and motivation to be the best to the table in every training session.

Some of Frank’s most notable clients are Kyle Bissinger, linebacker New England Patriots, Tony Douglas, point guard Miami Heat, Bret Gravitt, shooting guard Norwegian Basketball League, Dan Burkes running back Cincinnati Bengals and Harry Douglas, receiver Atlanta Falcons.

Frank is a member of the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) and has additional certifications in Stretch Therapy and Functional Training.

Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?
As with any small business, just growing the business is one of the biggest challenges. It requires building your overall reputation within the community. Also, getting the parents to be consistent with bringing their kids to training so they get what they need to compete in this day and age. Getting the kids to understand what it takes to be an above average athlete.

If you had to go back in time and start over, would you have done anything differently?
Everyone is not a superstar, so training has to build mental toughness as much as the physical because the mental can be carried into life in general.

You can motivate the athlete but you cannot give them the drive and desire that it takes to be better it has to come from within.
