My typical training session starts off with high energy, right on time, maximizing every minute of the session to accomplish your athletes goals. It contains positive reinforcement mixed in with competitive, challenging exercises!

Each session is catered to your individual athletes needs:
We will discuss your athletes goals, strategize how to get there, and each session will be revolved around that specific goal.

A typical training will be composed of:
-check in with your athlete so I can understand your athlete
-dynamic stretches to loosen all the muscles for the hour to prevent injury
-for sports specific athletes we will do movement based exercises increasing speed relative to the athletes sport as well as sport specific strengthening
-for speed athletes we will do various explosive footwork drills, ladder drills, cone drills, reactive strength and sprints as well as cardiovascular conditioning
-for jump training athletes strengthening of the legs and stabilizing muscles, mixed in with light weight training - I have trained my vertical jump to 40 inches at a 5’6 height. I would help your athlete achieve higher vertical jumping
-for strength athletes we will develop a full weight lifting regimen designed to increase lean muscle mass and explosive strength
-every one of my athletes I consult in depth about diet and nutrition to keep them performing at the highest level

All of my sessions are individualized so your athlete gets the best experience possible.
