Rehab That Gets You Back
to Peak Performance
Fast-track your rehab and get back on the court feeling stronger than you ever did before
As a competitive athlete, you know the right rehab program is key. You need a custom rehab plan to get your body back in action.
The challenge is that most physios don’t have enough experience to prepare you for a return to high demanding sports, such as volleyball. Plus, they don’t truly understand the athlete’s mindset. They keep you out of play longer than necessary, which can decondition you and negatively impact your ability to perform.
At Bulletproof Performance our goal is to get you back to play as quickly and as safely as possible. And when you team up with us you’ll get to work with:
- Competitive athletes
- Sports Physiotherapists
- Strength & Conditioning Coaches
We will seamlessly integrate your rehab and injury prevention with your sports performance goals - so that you not only can steer clear of pain and injuries, but will level up your game and maximize your athletic potential as part of the process.
“Training with Bulletproof is the reason
my life is back on track!”
I took a year off from playing beach volleyball due to some repeating injuries that were really getting in the way of my physical and technical improvement. When I decided to start getting ready for the new season, I approached Bulletproof Performance.
The combination of Anja being a physiotherapist / strength & conditioning coach / volleyball athlete was a definite win. I did 3 month offseason training with her which yielded amazing results – I added 15 cm/6 inches to my vertical jump! I am so happy with the approach that Bulletproof took to prepare my body and mind. Now I am ready to start getting on the court and test out my new performance.
Thank you Anja, you brought joy back into my life, and that’s such a noble act.

“The best investment you’ll ever make!!”
Even as a National team athlete, I’ve never really felt strong or explosive, and there have been times where I’ve questioned if I had what it takes to bring my game to the next level. On top of that I’ve been battling with a shoulder injury, which constantly had me worried – not knowing if it was something that could actually heal and get better. That all changed after training with Bulletproof Performance…
I almost can’t believe what a difference only two months could make, and that all it took was a proper program. My shoulder has healed and doesnt hurt anymore, I feel much faster and more explosive on court and my spikes are waaay stronger than before! Bulletproof Performance is the most comprehensive, personalized and progressive training program I have ever followed, and the results speak for themselves!

Unleash Your Inner Champion with a Customized Rehab Program
It’s no secret that volleyball is a fast-paced, high power sport – involving a huge amount of jumps and lands, spikes and serves, as well as constant, rapid directional changes.
As a volleyball player, if your body’s abilities and capacity isn’t ready to handle all the specific demands of the sport, then sooner or later you’re going to get hurt. And there’s nothing worse than having pain and injury get in the way of your performance, forcing you to hold back, or constantly feeling worried and stressed out when playing.
But it doesn’t have to be that way!
Instead you can turn your recovery process into an opportunity to deeply understand your body, and set it up for a bulletproof comeback, feeling stronger and more powerful than you’ve ever felt before.
Bulletproof Performance is designed for volleyball players, by volleyball players. We get what it means to be an injured, hurt, or under-performing athlete, and it’s what drives us to train and rehab players like you.
Our team knows what it takes to speed up your recovery time, transform your relationship with pain and injury, and get you back on the court ready to play your heart out.
The right rehab program will massively impact your ability to compete and your experience of the sport you love. And when you become part of the Bulletproof Team we will be there to guide, support and motivate you every step of the way, until you’re back in the game pain-free, bursting of confidence, and feeling ready to take on anything that comes your way!
HI! I’M ANJA BORSHEIM
The Founder of Bulletproof Performance
I fell in love with volleyball at a very young age. At 15 I moved away from home to attend a national volleyball academy. I was a young, aspiring athlete, willing to do anything to get better and reach my goals.
However, the academy was new and our access to proper strength & conditioning coaches and physiotherapists was limited.
So although I eventually managed to reach my volleyball goals, that lack of support and guidance also meant I worked myself into a lot of trouble, unnecessary injuries, and detours along the way…
Now, after more than a decade working as both a physiotherapist and sports performance coach, I created Bulletproof Performance because I wanted to develop a program that could be the support, structure, and guidance I wish I had throughout my volleyball career.
A program that would give players the performance gains they so desperately want, in the fastest and most efficient way, but at the same time make sure they steer clear of pain, injuries and setbacks.
Through empowerment and teamwork, Bulletproof Performance is here to help you take your game to the next level through sport-specific programming, tailored strength and conditioning training, injury prevention, and rehabilitation.

“I don’t have to hold back on the court anymore!”
I’ve suffered from knee pain for years, and in the past it’s been putting big restrictions on how often and long I can play. But after only 2 weeks on the Bulletproof program I was able to do an entire week of beach volleyball camp AND a full day tournament at the end!
I’m already seeing and feeling such a difference in the way I play now. The Bulletproof team is absolutely amazing and so caring. They will support and motivate you every step of the way.

RESULTS YOU CAN EXPECT WHEN YOU TRAIN BULLETPROOF
“I feel stronger than I did before my surgery!”
I started working with Bulletproof Performance right after having had shoulder surgery. The surgery was stressing me out and I was worried I would never be able to play volleyball again!
However, after training with Bulletproof I regained full strength and mobility of my shoulder, and was able to get back on the beach volleyball court without any pain in the shoulder. Throughout the process I gained back the confidence in myself and my shoulder, and made a successful comeback feeling even stronger than I did before!

“It’s exactly what I needed to get back my confidence and go all-in!”
“After 3 ACL surgeries and 18 months of visits to different physiotherapists, I still wasn’t feeling ready to return to sports. That’s when I started working with Bulletproof Performance.
Through this tailored program I finally learned how to move properly, and it gave me back the confidence I needed to go all-in and get back into sports. Anja has been a true blessing to my troubled sports life. She has deep knowledge of injury mechanisms and movement dynamics. But her true gift is her patience and ability to adapt her programs to each individual athlete.
She is a rockstar!”
Alfredo
Crossfit Athlete/Former American Football Player
“9 Months Post-ACL Surgery, my repaired ACL is outperforming the ACL that never tore!”
When I tore my ACL, after a few days of intensive research to find the best possible recovery program, I started my work with Anja. The results from her tailor-made rehab program have been incredible!
4 1/2 months post surgery, my jump and strength test performance was back to 86-94% of my un-injured leg. And by 9 months all my tests were above 97% and I even outperformed my un-injured leg on several of the jump and strength tests!
The great recovery has also been confirmed during follow-up visits with the surgeon, who remarked at the quality of training I have received.
All in all, I have become thankful for this injury, as I have learnt a great deal that will now be factored in for life. In fact, I’ve rarely felt injured, as the road to recovery has been made enjoyable and rewarding.
I owe this to Anja’s unique skill set as a combined athlete, physiotherapist and strength & conditioning coach. I could not have been in better hands. She really goes above and beyond to prepare you for a comeback to the sport you love, and then excel in it!

“Before Bulletproof, I couldn’t walk. Now I’m back in competitions!”
“I started working with Anja after having major knee surgery; ACL reconstruction, meniscus and cartilage repair. I was previously told that I wouldn’t be able to return to my sport.
Anja did not even question this with me, but went to work and built a high level of trust by slowly rebuilding my confidence and strength. She used a combination of various training methodologies all while maintaining a nurturing atmosphere. She has been with me from the beginning when I was unable to walk, and now continues to help me grow and compete.
Working with Anja and Bulletproof Performance taught me how to turn my recovery process into an opportunity to perform better in my sport and how to deeply understand my body!”

“Anja’s personalized program made me stronger than I was before my injury!
Anja has helped me throughout the rehabilitation of a disc herniation. Since starting out with pain management and early rehabilitation, we have consistently been moving onto a progressively intense performance and strength program.
Anja always has an incredible understanding of the current issue, keenly listens to my concerns, and then advises accordingly. I have had extremely satisfying results from my training, and I am so much stronger than I was pre-injury. I always look forward to Anja’s new programming cycle because of its refreshing new challenges!

“Anja went above and beyond with my program. If you’re ready to get back into your sport, you need to call her ASAP!
I started working with Bulletproof Performance after an injury to my adductor. The injury was severe and I personally thought I would never play sports at the same level ever again. They proved me very wrong!
After working through a tailored rehab program, followed by progressive strength and sport specific exercises, I was back to playing football and beach volleyball only 6 weeks post injury. It was unreal!
Anja doesn’t solely work on taking away the pain, but she makes sure you are ready to handle any and all physical demands of the sport you’re returning to. She also builds your confidence and gets rid of all fear that you might possibly re-injure yourself.
I strongly recommend working with Bulletproof Performance. No matter which part of the world you are in, they will always find a way to get the job done. Trust me, you will be back on track and to the sport you love in no time!”
