I have been coaching for four years with children between the age of 8-12. I currently coach for the AAU program Mass Attack of Massachusetts and Randolph Youth Basketball Association where we won a state championship with the 5th grade team. I've also volunteered with the YMCA to do basketball clinics. I am a certified as a personal trainer with ISSA. I interned with the former NBA Development Team the Springfield Armor and I currently work at Equinox Sports Club of Boston. Currently I am running my own fitness website, www.gloupfitness.com dedicated to helping people globally to buy in to the fitness lifestyle, better their health, and exceed expectations and achieve their goals.

I was a collegiate Track & Field athlete for four years at Springfield College. I competed in New England, All New England and ECAC championships participating in the 60 meter dash, 100 meter dash, 200 meter dash, and 4 x 100 meter relay. At Springfield College I was the recipient of the "Bearcat" Award, given to an athlete of the Track & Field program who showed the most improvement, as well as a yearning to get better every day.

As a basketball athlete I competed four years for Blue Hills Regional Tecnical High School. As a senior my team posted a 12-10 record for a playoff berth. I competed for the AAU program YABC in Boston, Massachusetts as a freshman and sophomore and MASS appeal as a junior.

Sessions will be based off the client I have for that day. Every client is on a different level in terms of ability and deserves a proper specific workout made to help them improve. I like to first speak with the player and get an understanding of what their goals are in regards to their improvement. From their I like to start off with stretching, conditioning, and footwork. Being a personal trainer myself, i like to start sessions off by working on the movement of the athlete. I the. Like to do a SWOT analysis on the client. I like to find out their strengths, weaknesses, their opportunities to help themselves be more apt to get more playing time, and threats that could prevent playing to extend. After those drills and the consulting is where I start to focus on the areas where the client is weak and is looking to improve including, shooting fundamentals, post moves, ball handling, and an overall understanding of the game to be able to have the skills to play multiple positions. My goal as a trainer is to help develop players into all around skilled players.
