Richard B.

I am a BS, CSCS, IYCA Certified High School Strength and Conditioning Coach, currently working as a High School Strength Coach in the Evergreen and Lakewood Colorado area. I am a a highly sought after coach for athletes ages 13 and older from Junior High School to the College ranks. I also work with individuals — whether executives or stay-at-home moms — who want enhanced health and stamina, and to improve their physical appearance.

My focus over the past 16 years has been to incorporate new techniques that ensure fast results, increased stamina and better performance — methods determined entirely by each athlete’s personalized assessment.

I am a native of Boston, Massachusetts where I was a four-year starter on my high school basketball team and won two state championships. I then attended the University of Maine at Farmington, where I also played Basketball and majored in Community Health Education with a concentration in Sports Conditioning. After graduation, I moved to the Evergreen, CO area with the vision of becoming one of the best in the strength and conditioning field.

From 2006-2009, I ran and operated Rich Barbell Fitness and Sports Conditioning, a performance enhancement facility located in Golden, Colorado. I am determined to improve the way athletes approach their strength and conditioning goals and I believe strongly in applying scientifically-proven techniques to enhance human performance on the playing field.

A large percentage of the last 10 years of my life have been consumed by an overwhelming drive to better understand the true nature of improving human performance. In my early years as a Strength and Conditioning Coach, I worked as the Head Basketball Coach for Platte Canyon High in Bailey, Colorado. There, I oversaw all my athletes’ off-season weight training sessions, and this experience led me to pursue my passion for improved sports performance on a full-time basis.
