My name is Jens Eiberger from Ellenberg, Germany. Spending all my childhood in Germany my passion number one was sports and in particular football. I was fortunate enough to play all different sports from football, to tennis, swimming, golf and even horse riding. Football being the best, I was being able to run through the German football ecosystem (Nachwusleistungzentrum) and played for Bundesliga clubs VfR Aalen as well as 1.FC Heidenheim. At the age of 17 i came to the point where I needed to decide whether i am trying to go pro or to go to university.

That is where i started my Bachelor of Arts Sport Science at the university of Stuttgart. I was still being able to play football on a high level throughout the next 5 years. That journey gave me the opportunity to play in Sweden, Lithuania, Portugal, as well as China. Next up was my international Master during which i also got my UEFA/DFB football coaching certificates, CSCS, and ASCA Level 1. I was fortunate enough to always be connected to the applied field of sports during my studies. Thus, I was coaching youth football teams at 1.FC Heidenheim, coaching in China, and training with pro athletes from various sports.

2018 came my Master thesis in the United States about the "Analysis of Deceleration Profiles in Multi-Directional Sport Athletes in Comparison to Resistance Trained Athletes". That time enabled me to work with NFL, NBA, MLB, UFC, as well as US Olympic athletes in a high-performance center in Denver, Colorado. I was able to learn from the best in the world and see what top-class performance and health supports in all areas from strength & conditioning, to sport science, to recovery, as well as nutrition and athlete mindset looks like. That time shaped me to whom I am now.

Following that I was working for the Football National Team of Myanmar as well as Singapore ranging from youth levels to the senior team. Currently, I am working for VALD as a sport science consultant and supporting athletes as well as organisations through Just Elite Performance.

The Story

Growing up as a young kid I always had the dream to become a professional athlete. However, I did not know how to get there, and I had nobody to guide me and fall back to. I had all these questions in my head, but nobody could answer me all and had the experience and knowledge to do so. I had constantly some of the following questions in my had:

”What do I need to work on and how?”

“How do I get stronger and faster?”

“How to become leaner, more muscular, and more athletic?”

”What can I improve on on the field?”

That’s why I ended up doing endless cardio when young to lose weight and stubborn fat, but to the compromise of not working on speed. Ultimately, that was the reason why I did not make it to be pro as I was slow. This could have been avoided if I had the right person to guide me. Speed is the most crucial factor for any sports.

Now being a football, health and performance coach with a vast experience, I can change lives and make the dreams of others become true.

That is where Just Elite Performance originated. I want to be able to help other people to reach their dreams and become a better athlete as well as individual on and off the field. Live longer and healthier what should be everyone's upmost desire.

The Problem

Just imagine being a football player but any other sports will do too. You have 30 players but maximum 5 coaches that really take care of the players and speak with them on a daily basis. Only one of these coaches is a fitness coach who should be able to make you athletically better. However, he can not train you as individually and specifically as he would want to as it is impossible to take care of 30 players at the same time. He can’t be there for everyone 24/7, can’t give everyone an individual training session when requested from the athlete, and can’t give you a listening ear whenever needed. That is just one problem of multiple ones what currently exists in professional sports. But that is the reality where I have been in for many years.

Furthermore, he might not be a certified nutritionist, or a certified strength and conditioning coach, sport scientist, or even football coach. Thus, you cannot get the full potential out of yourself as an individual as the resources and environment you are currently in are limited and do not support that individualization as needed.

The Solution

To overcome the problem everyone would need a “go-to-guy” who is able to cover all areas of performance and health to make it as convenient for the athlete as possible. Even more so the trend in professional sports is going towards athletes having their own “performance coaches” so they can get the best support possible and the most out of their career.

What differentiates Just Elite Performance from others is that you do not just get a “performance coach” working on your athleticism but a person looking beyond that into all possible areas to make you a better athlete and person.

Your body is your capital so better start investing in it to get the most out of it and stay as healthy as possible. Just Elite Performance will get you there and enables you to reach new heights.
