My biggest concern when coaching athletes is approaching and fixing limitations. I have a Master's in Exercise Physiology, CSCS, and NSCA-CPT. I have coached athletes of every level from high school hopefuls, college basketball teams and individual athletes, the University of Miami football Hurricanes, professional MMA fighters and Soccer players in the MLS and women's division. A year ago I opened a studio facility with two other trainers of the same credentials in Miami Florida.

As a high school basketball player I spent 4 years on varsity serving as the captain for 3 years, won two conference championships, and was a 1000 point scorer. As a college basketball player, I was part of a team who went to the conference championship 4 years in a row winning twice, and to the National Tournament twice.

The focus of each session is dependent on the goal of the athlete. I like to use the analogy that as a carpenter, to build a house you will never use one specific set of tools - you use the right tools for each specific job. If the athlete is looking to improve speed and agility, then a lot of cone drills, technique and stability will be utilized. If an athlete is looking to gain size and strength then resistance training is going to be the method used. I approach each individual as a separate case.
