I have coached several sports - primarily more for strength and conditioning than anything. I developed a conditioning program for my high school's soccer team which has been used for the past 5 years or so. Additionally, I have worked soccer goalies a fair amount and played the position in high school. I have spent time consulting for conditioning programs for wrestling teams. I also spent a season coaching a junior varsity baseball team. I have both a Bachelor's and Master's degree in Exercise Science, further, I hold a personal training certification from the NASM and a certification from the National Association of Speed & Explosion.

I grew up playing sports - starting in 6th grade I played a sport every season of the year. Throughout my life I compiled a total of 30 sports seasons. I competed in Track & Field at the college level for a full season, baseball 1/2 a season, and soccer for a few games on the reserve team. I received the Athletic Award (Coaches Cup) at my high school graduation.

I adapt my plan in session - all the time. It is always great to have a plan set, however, an athlete's body can respond differently depending on different factors (their food intake that day, stress levels, etc.) I always want to be sure that I push my athletes to their limit each workout. I am creative in my workouts; I have been using myself as a guinea pig for several years in regards to fitness so I have tried many new things and I try to keep it fun in that way.
