More About Coach Andrew

I have been coaching athletes for over ten years. I have been training sports performance for 7 years. My age range in athletes has been ages 8 - 23. I currently training one olympic qualified. I worked at Acceleration Indiana for 7 years and was a certified Level 3 speed coach. I am a level one coach with USA hockey. I have been teaching private lessons for 10 years. I started a youth hockey club on campus at Adrian College. My specialties are mechanics and working on overall efficiency. I have a bachelor's degree in exercise physiology and I have a focus in kinematics. I was one of the leaders of the Human Performance lab at Adrian University.

I played every sport growing. I spent most of my time and focus on track, baseball, basketball, lacrosse and hockey. As the years went on in high school I had to switch all my energy over to hockey. I had scholarship offers and I had to quit all other sports by my senior year. I played college hockey for four years and helped with the track team as well. I won two state titles in high school for hockey and played a small career at the professional level.

For hockey i spent most of my time teaching the fundamentals of skating and shooting and stick handling. After we have the basics we can then apply these techniques to a complex game plan and strategy.

Coach, Andrew is a wonderful coach after three weeks. My time has dropped 1 second. I am a Masters track and field athlete. I am 57 years old. My events are the 60, 100 and 200 meters dash. I highly recommend him! He is the best coach ever.

My 15-year-old son has been to Andrew and team three times now to improve his running for cross country. Nice facility, excellent instruction, and a solid mix of techniques to improve form and strength.

Great coach! I was actually looking for training myself as an adult. Andrew was able to set me up with a trainer better suited for my needs! Instead of just brushing me off or telling me ‘no’, he went the extra step and set me up with another trainer. Even when I wasn’t able to be his student, he still made sure I had a teacher. GREAT ATTITUDE, and a GREAT HELPER!!

Really good first session. Need to decide if I can continue

Coach Andrew displayed great knowledge in hurdles. He drills and technique training were fantastic.

Really good at what he does also, very fun

Coach Andrew was excellent. He was extremely attentive to detail, very knowledgeable, and had a great ability to explain the skillsets my child needed to work on in a manner she could understand and then replicate. Our daughter felt inspired and ready to learn even more after her session. We can't wait to see how she grows as an athlete with Coach Andrew's help.

My daughter needs a coach that pushes her. She loves Andrew. He makes her work, but she is thrilled at her accomplishments. Thank you Andrew. We can't wait until track and field season next year so everyone can see what she can do!!

I wasn't able to watch my son's session with Coach Andrew, but my friends reported that he seemed very knowledgeable and that they could see improvement in the boys' form with just one session. My son wasn't sore at all afterward, so I figured they must be doing something right!

My son is so excited to begin training with coach! Just after one class he feels he is on his way to getting to that next level...

Coach Andrew was awesome with my daughter! Helped her see an improvement in her form almost immediately! I will be booking more sessions!

My 12 year old son had his first lesson with Coach Andrew and loved it. Great tips on what he needs to focus on to improve his running form.

Very helpful.

My first session with coach Andrew was very positive. He seems to view me as an individual and seems sensitive to my needs. I am an older triathlete (57), and have been injury prone. I am confident he will make me more efficient, and that I will get faster with less injury.
