OTE is an 11,000sq.ft. performance training facility for athletes and adults in the northern San Antonio area. We utilize modern technological equipment and current evidence based research to design and implement results and goal oriented training programs for our athletes and clients. Our athlete training philosophy is based on the idea that successful athletes posses several key qualities, such as POWER, EXPLOSIVENESS, MOBILITY, SPEED, QUICKNESS, FLEXIBILITY, and most importantly, a LOW RISK OF INJURY. Athletes with these qualities have long and successful athletic careers. Our goal is for our athletes to not only play at the next level, but to excel and set new standards.
