Rodeo Performance Network (RPN) was founded to give rodeo athletes a competitive advantage. Taci Bettis and Dr. Andrew Shea envisioned a combined offering of introductory exercises, event specific movements, and fully customized workout plans to optimize rodeo performance. Together they created Rodeo Performance Network and have continued to build the company by gathering a team of experts and by developing an On-Demand Training program and "one-on-one" Virtual Coaching sessions.  RPN is ideal for rodeo athletes interested in injury prevention and recovery.

Cash Robb

"Andrew Shea at Shea Competitive Edge has truly impacted my career and helped get me to another level. My first contact with Andrew was after I tore my ACL. He helped me with my rehabilitation and I came back strong and ready to compete. I was able to get back in five months and without Andrew I would not have been able to do it safely in that short time frame. However, he did warn me it was faster than he would suggest. He also wanted to make sure I was 100% healthy before returning to competition, so he always took precautions to make sure everything was good and safe. That same season I made it to my first NFR and won the Average ending up 3rd in the world. I am a year and a half out from surgery and still going to see Andrew every chance I get to workout because I know he is the person that can help get you to the next level and keep you there!"
