About Sacrifice Training

Sacrifice Training is an athletic performance facility specializing in strength, power, and speed development. Owner Bryson Tucker founded Sacrifice in the fall of 2012, not long after a short stint with the Calgary Stampeders of the Canadian Football League ended in a preseason release.

Since then, Sacrifice has taken central Texas by storm, established as one of the region's premier athletic performance facilities. Our staff have performed at a high level in their own sports, and stay committed to proven methods for the next generation of athletes.

Training here means young athletes train alongside professionals. Watching someone who's reached the top level push through the same session pushes everyone else. That's not a marketing line. That's just what happens in this building.

Bryson Tucker

Bryson Tucker

Owner/Founder

Bryson Tucker is the founder and CEO of Sacrifice Training, and a graduate of the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor. He built Sacrifice around a simple idea: athletes deserve training that actually works, not training that just looks good. His own path, playing at the collegiate level, then going pro with the Green Bay Blizzard (IFL) and Calgary Stampeders (CFL), shaped every program he's built since. Bryson believes sacrifice isn't just a training philosophy. It's the difference between athletes who compete and athletes who win, on the field and in life.

Aden Britt

Aden Britt

Athletic Performance & Olyfit Coach

Aden Britt grew up a true multi-sport athlete: volleyball, track, and Hunter-Jumper horseback riding built a foundation few coaches bring to the table. She trained at Sacrifice as an athlete since 2018, all the way through her high school and college career, and that's where her passion for performance training took hold. Aden played the first two years of a collegiate volleyball career at Temple College, then closed it out at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College as a First Team All-Conference and First Team AVCA All-Region player. Two years coaching youth club volleyball followed, then a degree in Psychology, a combination that shapes the whole approach: performance isn't just physical, it's mental. Aden trains the whole athlete, building strength, confidence, and resilience that carries on and off the court.
