ABOUT JARED KIRVEN

My name is Jared Kirven, owner and performance coach at KOA Sports Performance. I grew up in Lexington, South Carolina, where sports were a major part of life from day one. I fell in love with baseball at a young age, and that passion carried me to the College of Charleston, where I played Division I baseball from 2018–2023 and experienced the demands of high-level competition firsthand.

During my college career, I developed a deep interest in strength training—specifically how it could give athletes a real competitive edge. What started as curiosity quickly turned into a lasting passion for performance, movement, and physical development.

That drive led me to pursue a degree in physical therapy in Charleston, SC, at the Medical University of South Carolina, where I'm currently learning the ins and outs of the human body and its movements.

WHY I BEGAN KOA

I started KOA Sports because I wanted to give athletes the physical edge I wish I had in college. I was always searching for ways to get better, but the truth is — I wasn't as fast or as powerful as I could've been. I didn't fully understand how to train for performance or how to keep my body feeling good through the grind of a long season. After two knee surgeries, I knew there had to be a better way. Not just to "bridge the gap," but to actually reach my athletic potential — and stay healthy once I got there.

Through years of research, hands-on experience, and working with athletes across different levels, I've developed systems and training methods that help athletes get the most out of their bodies. KOA was built to change the narrative—for both athletes and active adults. The mission is simple: move better, feel more powerful, and perform at a higher level—while staying healthy enough to keep doing the things you love.

I truly love what I do and see it as a blessing to help others in this space. I promise to give every athlete everything I've got, and all I ask is that they do the same in return.
