Ken K.

Graduated with Degree in Kinesiology from Arizona State University in 2009. I worked as as Sports Performance Coach with Velocity Sports Performance, coaching running mechanics as well as he barbell and olympic lifts. I have worked with dozens of colligate athletes in multiple sports including: Football, soccer, hockey, track and field, rugby, golf, tennis and softball.

Kinesiology is the study of movement. I help people, no matter what their sport, move better. I do that by getting them to be as flexible as necessary and then teach them how to move correctly. Once we can move very well the only way we can get better is to get stronger.

Typical sessions vary by person as each session is designed to fit your needs exactly. I will work with you to make your weaknesses your strengths to create a very athletic new you.

I have coached and competed in Weightlifting and powerliting meets.

Broken up into 3 parts:

Warm-up: time to get the body warm and prepared for the workout. Also a time to work on flexibility and mobility and range of motion tests and practice some gymnastics and bodyweight skills.

Skill Lesson: The skill lesson is the part of the session that is designed specifically for you. Usually this part of the session is dedicated to speed training. Teaching how to run weather it is sprinting or long distance running it is important to work on technique. Also multi-directional and agility drills are used to help build an athletes general athleticism.

Strength & Conditioning Portion: Each athlete will have own personalized lifting program designed to help them get stronger.
