I am dedicated to training athletes at a level that matches their stage of development. Using a game-based coaching philosophy, I attempt to design drills that closely reflect the technical skills, fundamentals and progressions necessary to excel at higher levels of competition, attempting to tailor each plan to the demands of the specific sport. While there is no one-size-fits-all approach to athlete development, I draw on my experience as a coach and trainer, professional certifications, and genuine passion for sports to attempt to design the most effective program possible for each individual.

Q: What are the benefits of sport-specific drills and strength/skill building progressions?

A: A: Sport-specific drills and progressions attempt to enhance an athlete's technical skills, fundamentals and abilities to apply their training to in-game sport-specific scenarios. This is commonly known as the transfer-of-training effect.

Q: What can I expect from a training session?

A: I attempt to provide training sessions that are tailored to the athlete’s current skill level and developmental goals, guided by continuous needs analysis and observation. I try to develop session plans that address the athlete’s and/or parents' goals and objectives, emphasizing areas for growth and improvement while providing guidance toward realistic and achievable outcomes.

Although training results are never guaranteed [all athletes are built differently], I am committed to creating a safe, enjoyable, and positive training environment. Through a variety of sport-specific drills, athletes are encouraged to enhance their skills, build confidence in themselves and their approach to competition, and have fun.

Q: Do you have any professional certifications or memberships?

A: Yes, I am a Certified Personal Trainer [CPT] through the National Academy of Sports Medicine [NASM].
