ABOUT MOMENTUM

High-level training built around long-term development, individual attention, and a serious approach to performance.

Built Around Development

Momentum Performance is built for athletes who want more than just workouts. Our training emphasizes long-term development, attention to detail, and a process-first approach that helps athletes improve in the right way over time.

We prioritize age-appropriate, event-specific training that meets athletes where they are while building toward where they want to go. Good marks, stronger performances, and higher-level results come as a byproduct of doing the process well.

A Different Training Environment

Momentum is a training program that runs with the structure, intentionality, and standards of a high-level college training group. Athletes are coached as individuals, held to a high standard, and given training that reflects both their age and their goals.

For athletes looking to take the next step, the environment matters. The expectation here is that athletes show up ready to train, ready to learn, and ready to improve.

Led by Coach Austin Salargo

Coach Austin has built Momentum around the idea that high-level development comes from a combination of structure, consistency, and individualized coaching. The goal is not just short-term success, but building athletes who are prepared for the next level of training and competition.

What Athletes and Families Say

“Momentum is unlike anything you’ll experience in high school track and field. The focus is not about a really fast indoor season, even though this will happen, it’s about the long term development. As a former NCAA sprinter, Austin knows what it takes to be an elite track athlete. He combines that experience with years of coaching some of the best athletes Minnesota has had. What really sets Momentum apart is the environment. Everyone not only wants to get faster, but also is willing to put the work in to improve. “


“Joining momentum is the best decision I made this winter. I never did not have motivation to show up and run at practice because I knew I had a coach that cared about our times and our goals along with so many talented people to look up to and push me.”


“Momentum provided so much for me throughout high school. I learned so much about hard work and just sticking with whatever you set as your goal and even getting beyond that. The people I met through momentum turned out to be some very close friends of mine, everything from running half marathons together to just hanging out, it has made many long lasting connections.”
