ABOUT COACH KONOPKA
My name is Steve Konopka, I am the head Strength and Athletic conditioning coach and owner of Strength n Honor Training Facility. Strength n Honor Training is a passion of mine to pass the mindset and training philosophy to young driven athletes to achieve the highest levels of success on and off the competitive playing fields. We also are using these methods and philosophies to help every day citizens become healthier, happier and more functional to enjoy an active life!
Our training
What is STRENGTH N HONOR TRAINING? It is a philosophy of training only for driven athletes. We specialize in GPP, functional strength and turning highly motivated athletes into the most powerful, agile and athletically hostile version of themselves.
People mistake our philosophy for only training champions or elite youth athletes. That isn’t entirely true. You are accepted to train with us by your drive, work ethic and your commitment. Your stats or place winnings from the past years do not get you through our doors. A recommendation from the Strength n Honor inner circle gets you an evaluation and an invite.
