Three sport college athlete. Football placekicker at US Air Force Academy and University of Missouri, Baseball pitcher at Air Force, Bowling at Missouri (also coached the team for 2 years). High School awards: All Conference/District/Region/State Placekicker, All Conference/District/Region Pitcher. Still ranked in the top five in strikeouts for Ruskin/Hickman Mills after 35+ years.

Each of my sessions has some warm up activities that reinforce basic techniques prior to the actual performance period. My sessions are designed to install a series of movements so that the athlete understands exactly what is going on and what the goal / objective is for each movement. This will hopefully end up empowering the athlete to be their own coach. I provide easy to remember "anchors" so that the athlete can be reminded easily and quickly when needed. My techniques are also reinforced by rhythm cues so the athlete can acquired their own unique tempo for the execution of the techniques they are learning. I keep the session simple and easy to repeat at home.
