Eric Cressey is the president and co-founder of Cressey Performance. Specializing in athletic performance enhancement and corrective exercise, Cressey is a highly sought-after coach for healthy and injured athletes alike from youth sports to the professional and Olympic ranks. Behind Eric’s expertise, Cressey Performance has rapidly established itself as a go-to high-performance facility among Boston athletes – and those that come from across the country and abroad to experience CP’s cutting-edge methods.
Cressey received his Master’s Degree in Kinesiology with a concentration in Exercise Science through the University of Connecticut Department of Kinesiology, the #1 ranked kinesiology graduate program in the nation. At UCONN, Eric was involved in varsity strength and conditioning and research in the human performance laboratory.

An accomplished author, Cressey has written three books, and co-created two DVD sets. His most recent work, Maximum Strength, will be released through Avalon Publishing on April 28th. Cressey has authored more than 200 articles in online and print magazines, and publishes a weekly newsletter and daily blog at EricCressey.com and EricCressey.Blogspot.com, respectively.
A record-setting competitive powerlifter himself, Cressey has deadlifted 650 pounds at a body weight of 174 and is recognized as an athlete who can jump, sprint, and lift alongside his best athletes to push them to higher levels – and keep them healthy in the process.
Eric has gained notoriety among baseball players of all levels for his success in improving throwing velocity, bat speed, and sprinting speed - while markedly reducing injury rates. Cressey Performance athletes have won state championships, countless individual honors, and college scholarships thanks in large part to their hard work and effective training programs at CP. On multiple occasions, Eric has worked hand-in-hand with multiple pitching coaches to help pitchers to 8-10 mph increases in throwing velocity in a single off-season.
