Mindee Epstein is an expert sports trainer with more than 25 years of experience. She has focused on developing amateur and world champion athletes. Also, she is recognized as an expert in bringing "functional training" to the sports and fitness industry.

Mindee is a speed, agility, and quickness specialist, a licensed massage therapist, a performance trainer, and a body-worker. She has written many articles on performance enhancement, body alignment, developing weak links in the body, and more.

She has always been interested in how the body works with different movements and exercises, so she attended Ohio State University to get a degree in Kinesiology. While at Ohio State, she played tennis for the Buckeyes and won the Big Ten Tennis Championships.

After college, she was fortunate to work with her mentor, Bob Gajda, a world-renowned performance trainer and a sports rehab therapist, for 10 years. She also worked with the best athletes in the world, including the Chicago Bears, Chicago Blackhawks, John McEnroe, Jimmy Conners, as well as other distinguished athletes.

In 1995, she started TipTop Training because she knew she could make a difference in today’s athletes by mentoring them to be better physically, mentally, and emotionally.
