john bloom
EAD Founder and Director of Sports Performance
Before founding Elevated Athlete Development (EAD), John Bloom began his career as a Division I strength and conditioning coach, with experience at Abilene Christian, Weber State, Texas Tech, and Oral Roberts.
Over the years, John has been fortunate to work alongside and learn from some of the top coaches in the world. He has trained numerous college athletes who went on to successful careers in professional sports, including multiple NBA First-Round Draft Picks.
While performance has always been a priority, John’s true passion lies in developing the person behind the athlete—instilling habits, values, and leadership skills that last long after the game ends.
John is also the author of the book Strength In Numbers, and the host of The Strength In Numbers Podcast.
