Michael McDowell, CSCS
Founder & Lead Performance Specialist
At Cornerstone Performance, we believe every athlete has the ability to achieve their goals and maximize their God-given potential. As a Certified Strength and Conditioning Coach and Doctor of Physical Therapy student, I am passionate about helping athletes build a strong foundation for success through elite training, movement optimization, and faith-driven discipline.
My journey from Boiling Springs, South Carolina, to playing college football at The Citadel shaped my passion for developing athletes from the ground up. Cornerstone Performance exists to bridge the gap between good athletes and elite performers by building strength, resilience, and confidence to overcome adversities on and off the field.
