Built by Athletes. For Athletes.
Elite Performance Medical was founded by Wellington "Telly" Fricke - a 10-year medical device sales leader - Matt Wisler - a former MLB pitcher - who saw the same story play out over and over - and Mike Stone - former NFL vet: elite athletes with the exact traits companies want in a sales rep, hitting a wall because they lacked clinical vocabulary and industry connections. EPM exists to change that. We built the program we wish had existed when we were transitioning — one that takes athletes seriously, trains them rigorously, and places them into careers they're proud of.
What We Offer Our Athletes
Our program is built around one goal: making you genuinely competitive for medical device sales roles — not just on paper, but in the room. That means clinical education, real-world rep insights, sector-specific preparation, and hands-on placement support from people who know the hiring managers personally.
