About MAP

Built by an Athlete, for Athletes

Ryan and Leah Cheek opened Momentum Athletic Performance to give young athletes the quality of training Ryan received as a Division 1 athlete at NC State, without waiting until college to get it.

One year in, more than 125 athletes from Canal Winchester and across the Columbus area train on our turf: 7-year-olds in their first class, high schoolers chasing college rosters, and every athlete in between.

Work Hard. Have Fun. Get Better.

Word Gets Around

Parents See the Difference

From the families on our turf every week to coaches who scout at the highest level.

College & Pro Coach Endorsement

"When I evaluate potential recruits or free agents, two of the top things I look for at every position are speed and the ability to change direction. Working with a coach like Ryan Cheek, whose program is designed to help you take your abilities to the highest level, is a no brainer in my book."

Coach Zach Tenuta

Linebacker Coach, New Orleans Breakers (USFL) · Defensive Coordinator, Norfolk State University

"My son is faster, stronger, and way more confident after one season. The coaches know exactly how to work with kids his age."

Momentum sports parent

"Small groups mean my daughter actually gets coached every session. She went from dreading workouts to asking to go early."
