Welcome to Central Oregon Sports Academy. I’m Deane Birkett, founder and a holistic performance coach. If you are a competitive athlete or active individual looking for intelligent, informed, and sustainable improvements in performance, health, and overall wellbeing, you are in the right place.
With more than 40 years of experience in the performance and health field, I take an individualized and evidence-informed approach that integrates pre- and post-rehabilitation strategies, athlete-specific training, personalized nutritional biochemistry, targeted laboratory testing, lifestyle optimization, and movement-based corrective work. The goal is not only to improve performance, but also to restore function, reduce injury risk, enhance resilience, and support long-term health and longevity. Many clients initially arrive seeking rehabilitation support or through referrals from other athletes, and ultimately remain because of the comprehensive and highly personalized nature of the programs.
Before getting started, I encourage you to explore the services offered, the two training programs available, as well as the testimonials and case examples throughout the site. This will help you determine whether this individualized approach aligns with your goals — whether that means returning to peak performance after injury, overcoming physical limitations, improving athletic capacity, or building a stronger, healthier, and more sustainable lifestyle.
If this approach resonates with you, you’ll find clear next steps and a detailed overview of what to expect when working directly with me throughout the site.
