Elijah Vogel has been part of the In the Core training system since its beginning, developing first as an athlete and now as a coach. As a current member of the United States National Trampoline Team for the past five years, he knows firsthand what it takes to train and compete at an elite level. Over the last seven years, Elijah has coached athletes in physical education, recreational gymnastics, and private training, working with individuals from beginner to professional levels. In the Core uniquely shaped Elijah into the athlete he is today through its intentional focus on whole-brained athleticism, holistic development, and a standard of excellence that surpasses traditional training programs.
Elijah is passionate about helping young athletes build holistic athleticism, but above this he views the responsibility of coaching as a calling, especially during formative middle school and high school years, where sport becomes a powerful avenue for building discipline, resilience, and character. He is passionate about helping athletes reach their full potential and pursue their goals with confidence, while also instilling a standard of excellence that extends far beyond competition. Elijah is driven by a vision to help develop a generation of young people who hold themselves to high standards, demonstrate steadfast discipline, and carry a hunger for greatness in every area of life.
Here at ITC, we educate athletes on the importance of different lifestyle choices on recovery and performance. This pyramid of recovery concepts provides an overview for how we teach athletes about recovery and how significantly it can affect their performance.
My son Dante has been training at In The Core since 2019 and my daughter Ava has been training there since 2023. They are both year-round athletes that put a lot of stress demand on their bodies through their respective sports and consequently they put stress on their minds through school, sports, social life, etc. With that said, when we found ITC we were drawn to not only the physical athletic training but also the mind/brain work and encompassing everything all into one. Simply put, training the full body not only for competition but also the life of a teenage student-athlete and the preparation into adult hood. There are many options in the market if you’re looking to just get bigger, faster, stronger but if you are like us, and you were looking for more than that, ITC is the place to come.
The coaching and training aspect of ITC is impeccable. The details and focus of every session will ensure your athlete has an incredible workout that is tailored to them individually every time they visit. The brain work and the messages they learn through the training has my kids walk out of ITC sessions a completely different person. They are more upbeat, energetic, and motivated even though they just performed an intense work out for 45-90 minutes.
As a former athlete, it is very evident to see the physical results in their training. As a parent, I see my children’s growth in their mindset and maturity. I see them thinking about their futures in ways they never did before, I see their motivation in helping and be a part of the solution, and I see them wanting to serve something higher than themselves. For me and my family, this means being a complete athlete which is what they receive from the team at ITC.
ITC has been a huge blessing for our whole family. The lifelong friendships and relationships that we have developed and the tools that our children have received are priceless. We are forever grateful and forever ITC!
