About Triple F Elite Sports Training
Building Athletes, Shaping Futures
Where It Started
From One Facility to a National Mission
For years, 11-year NFL veteran Lee Smith envisioned bringing long-term athletic development to his hometown — giving youth athletes access to the same professional-level care, individualized assessment, and character-based training that shaped his NFL career. That vision became reality with the opening of Triple F Elite Sports Training in Knoxville, Tennessee: a 12,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art facility.
Today, Triple F is growing into a national family of locally owned training facilities, each carrying the same mission: provide the industry-leading practices professional athletes enjoy — strength and conditioning, recovery, nutrition, and mentorship — to youth and adult athletes in their own communities.
Our Mission
Our Core Focus
Our mission is to deliver the highest standard of athletic development: professional-level resources and a Christ-centered environment focused on long-term athlete growth for youth and adults alike.
Character
Being the best version of yourself and adding value to those around you. Faith is at the core of who we are — character will always weigh the most.
Assessment
Taking the guesswork out of the long-term growth plan with a 12-test assessment structure that drives each athlete’s individualized program.
Training
Triple F stands for Form, Force, and Function. We use the best tools, drills, and technology to optimize these qualities in every session.
Experience
Having fun and genuinely appreciating the process. Our heart is in creating peak moments and lasting memories.
Recovery
Sleep, nutrition, and sports medicine are fundamental to growth. We teach athletes to commit to recovery the right way.
