RISE Sports Performance: Helping Athletes Set Goals and Achieve Them

Athlete aspirations can vary from making a team and increasing playing time to playing at the collegiate level. Regardless, the importance of sports performance training is a key component to any athlete’s success in reaching those goals, and that is where RISE Sports Performance plays a role.

RISE Sports Performance (RSP) is based in Davie County and resides inside of the 120,000+ square foot RISE Indoor Sports facility. Offering specialized training for athletes of all ages, RSP Directors Caleb Mathis and John Lucchesi know what is needed to help athletes define their goals and then develop a plan that gets them there.

Lucchesi was born and raised in Johnson City, Tennessee and attended East Tennessee State University where he played soccer and studied exercise science. His experience includes working with athletes both in the weight room and on the field, serving as both a trainer and coach. After serving as the Captain of NC Fusion’s U23 soccer team, his career led him to North Carolina where he has been a part of the RISE team since its opening in May of 2021. Mathis was raised in Mocksville and graduated from Davie High School in 2013. He attended the University of North Carolina at Wilmington on a track and field scholarship where he competed in the decathlon, 110m hurdles, long jump and triple jump. After graduation, he began his career as the Director of Speed and Agility for a private sports training facility from 2018-2021. In 2021, Mathis officially joined RISE Indoor Sports.

Lucchesi and Mathis lead programs to help athletes get faster and stronger, with the main goal of building athletes who are the best at their sport and ready to perform on game day. Through a combination of speed, strength and youth development programming, their focus is on establishing a strong foundation that leads to athletic development and success. In addition, Lucchesi and Mathis offer programming for adults looking to stay in shape, work towards specific goals and serve as an accountability partner.
