PowerStrength College Signing Day 2026: Earned, Not Given

National Signing Day is more than a list of commitments. It’s a snapshot of years of intentional work—consistent training, coachable habits, and environments that demand more.

At PowerStrength, athletes don’t stumble into college opportunities.

They build them.

“The trainers are always challenging you,” Kendall Fisk, who is headed to Detroit Mercy for softball, said. “The environment is so good—everyone wants the best for you.”

Year after year, athletes who trust PowerStrength for their athletic development earn the chance to compete at the next level. Not because of hype, but due to years of preparation.

“It’s where I really push myself to go above and beyond—and it shows on the court,” future Calvin basketball player Addy Rhodes said.

WHY POWERSTRENGTH ATHLETES ARE READY FOR THE NEXT LEVEL

College coaches look for athletes who are durable, coachable, and physically prepared for higher demands. That’s where PowerStrength makes the difference.

“You can go back and look at the progress from my sophomore year to now—how much more powerful I am,” future Michigan State quarterback Kayd Coffman said. “The numbers grew. The body changed. Both are pretty conclusive.”

“I felt a lot stronger this past season—especially speed and getting off the ball,” said Hayden Fee.

Every session at PowerStrength is:

  • Led by a certified trainer
  • Built around individualized development plans
  • Delivered in small-group environments
  • Surrounded by other serious athletes who raise the standard

That combination creates consistency, confidence, and long-term growth—qualities that translate well beyond high school competition.
