History

Cressey Sports Performance was founded in 2007 by Eric Cressey and Pete Dupuis, opening its first facility in Hudson, Massachusetts, 82 days after initial discussions. The company expanded by establishing a second location in Palm Beach Gardens (previously noted as Jupiter), Florida, which has operated for nearly 17 years as of recent records. In 2020, it entered a formal partnership with the New York Yankees to oversee minor and major league player health and performance. Over a recent three-year period, more than 40 trained athletes were selected in the MLB Draft.
