About
At Viking Performance Camps, we are movement over maxes driven! We don't care how much weight you can lift, we care about how well you lift. You cannot build a large building without a large solid foundation for which to build! We want our campers to learn to move well so that future athletic performance can flourish!
Mission
Our mission is for our campers to leave our camp with the knowledge of good movement patterns in the weight room and movement strategies for the field. We are here to teach the campers, to help them be more aware of their bodies in time and space, so they can be confident on the field and in the weight room.
Vision
To teach and create confident athletes, so they can later use what they learned to grow in their performance endeavors. By giving them all the tools they need to be excellent.
Coaching Staff
My name is Alec Olson
Hi, I'm Coach Olson! I'm a local guy from Albany Oregon. I attended Western Oregon University where I got my Bachelor in Exercise Science in 2015. After that, I was a Graduate Assistant Strength Coach at Illinois State University where I got my Masters in Biomechanics in 2020. After my education, I worked for the University of Iowa Football Strength program in the summer of 2020. After that, I came back home and was the Assistant Sports Performance Coach at Western Oregon University, and am now currently at Portland State.
​
Seeing young people, grow physically and mentally through the avenue of performance is why I love my job and why I want to give that back not just to my current athletes at PSU, but to any and all athletes so they can have the best opportunity to be the best at their sport.
