About 5ESC
Train with purpose. Perform with power.
Founded by Coach Erik Bertheussen, Five Elements Sports Coaching (5ESC) is a high-performance coaching system built around one clear belief: true athletic development comes from training the whole athlete — physically, technically, tactically, psychologically, and socially.
With roots in competitive running and elite-level coaching, 5ESC brings a holistic, science-backed approach to speed, strength, and injury resilience. Whether you’re a sprinter chasing hundredths, a distance runner managing thresholds, a footballer building power in the off-season, or a developing athlete balancing school and sport — 5ESC meets you where you are and builds you from the ground up.

Meet Coach Erik
Coach Erik Bertheussen is more than a coach — he’s a performance architect.

He has coached grassroots athletes, International players, and International-level runners, combining precision training with genuine care.
His knowledge of training systems, biomechanics, recovery, and sports gear allows him to guide each athlete with clarity — not guesswork.
The 5 Elements Philosophy
At 5ESC, we train more than muscles. Our system is built around five interconnected pillars:
-
Technical – movement quality
-
Tactical – smart decision-making
-
Physical – strength, speed, energy systems
-
Psychological – mindset, focus, resilience
-
Social – support, motivation, environment
Take one away, and performance suffers. Train all five, and you build something that lasts.

Sports Massage Services
Deep release. True recovery.
At 5ESC, we use Raynor Sports Massage to go far beyond surface-level treatment. This method focuses on releasing deep tension throughout the entire body — not just treating symptoms, but targeting the root cause of tightness, fatigue, and restriction. It’s ideal for athletes under heavy training loads, those recovering from injury, or anyone needing full-body reset.
We also integrate cupping therapy to improve blood flow, speed up recovery, and reduce pain and inflammation.
Together, these techniques help restore balance, unlock better movement, and support long-term performance.
