THE FREAK
Vernon “The Freak” Smith is the force behind The Freak Performance, a mentality and performance coach who has been part of 28 national championships and developed athletes from youth to Olympic level after a career as a collegiate football player and Head Strength and Conditioning Coach at Marian University. He is known for legendary strength numbers in the weight room 1000LBS Squats and for helping athletes leave with real speed, strength, and explosiveness.
THE FREAK METHOD
A complete approach to performance that trains the body, the mindset, and habits behind the work.
PRECISION
Every program is athlete-specific, built around your sport, position, and goals to develop the exact balance of strength, explosiveness, speed, and endurance you need to perform.
PROOF
Progress isn’t guessed—it’s measured. Key lifts, movements, and performance markers are tested and tracked to ensure every session drives real results.
MENTALITY
Training the mind is as important as training the body. We build focus, resilience, and confidence so you can compete with clarity and handle pressure like a pro.
Freak Performance took my strength, speed, & confidence to another level.
I thought I was working hard until I started with Freak Performance. The training sharpened everything—my strength, my speed, my movement, and my confidence. It all shows up when it matters most.
