The Refuge Training Center
Where Champions Are Forged
"Pole vaulting is an art form and a battle; you must master the technique and then learn to overcome your own limits."
Sam Kendricks, Olympian, world Champion, and Founder of The Refuge
State-of-the-Art Facility:
Built for Champions
At The Refuge Training Center, our dedication transcends the ordinary; we are in relentless pursuit of excellence. In a realm where victories are decided by the slimmest of margins, where triumph and near-miss are separated by mere milliseconds and millimeters, we recognize that "good enough" is the adversary of "exceptional." It is our core mission to empower aspiring professionals, elite contenders, and seasoned veterans alike with a comprehensive arsenal of tools, wisdom, and an unparalleled environment that propels them beyond the confines of their known capabilities, challenging them to not just reach but to move the very markers of their potential.
Our Values
Hospitality:
A Foundation for Focus
We understand that the path to achieving one's goals is as much about the environment as it is about the effort. The Refuge is designed to be a welcoming haven where athletes can concentrate fully on their objectives. By ensuring a warm and hospitable setting, we aim to remove the burdens that can hinder progress, making the journey towards your goals a more enjoyable and focused endeavor.
Security:
Your Sanctuary of Comfort
The Refuge stands as a place apart, a sanctuary where comfort and security are paramount. In our commitment to being a safe haven, we provide an atmosphere where athletes can feel not only welcomed but also protected. This sense of security is crucial, as it allows you to let down your guard and invest yourself fully in the pursuit of excellence.
Patience:
Embracing Individual Journeys
We recognize that the path to athletic greatness varies greatly among individuals. Athletics is not a one-size-fits-all journey; each athlete starts from a different place and moves towards their unique goals at their own pace. Our coaches and mentors are dedicated to offering personalized guidance, exercising patience, kindness, and discernment. We pledge to support each athlete's development with understanding and respect for their individual journey.
