Steve O.

I have over 40 years of sports performance and strength coaching athletes for many sports. I was raised in a football coaching family and have a very strong background in football, sprinting and powerlifting. My training specializes in strength, speed and agility for football, soccer, track and any field or court sport. My abilities and decades of experience allow me to look at an athlete, how they move and the needs they have and develop a personalized program to take them as far as they physically and mentally can go in sports and life. Through hard training with positive reinforcement and with the athletes full cooperation they can become the best they can be. I work with kids as young as 6 years old and up to young professional athletes. I have been a gym owner for 20 years in the past and have certifications from the IYCA, TTS and BFS. The biggest positive is the over 40 years experience in working with youth and athletes in many sports. Please only schedule through CoachUp.

We will evaluate the results from session to session and adjust accordingly to what we will add or take away so there is no wasted time. Sports are seasonal so it depends on the sport and to how close the competition begins as to how training is done. Off season we work on specific weaknesses and build strength. power and muscle as needed for the sport. Preseason we work more sport specific moving into speed work, agility, endurance and whatever else the athlete needs to compete at their highest level. I believe in hard training when needed but know how to back off whenever needed to prevent burnout and possible injury possible. Even thought becoming the best you can be will take a lot of blood sweat and tears it always must be enjoyably and diverse enough to keep the athlete growing and developing. Off- season workouts are held less often, slower and longer and preseason sessions are more often, shorter but very intense. In-season training when possible is simple basic and quick to allow for full recovery. It is hard to describe a single session because there are so many variables involved and the sports being trained for. I do promise you will work your hardest and smartest every time we meet.
I believe in training and developing the whole athlete; mind, body and personal life for a disciplined life and leader on and off the field.
