Training Philosophy:
“My training philosophy is based on developmentally appropriate progressive overload through quality movement patterns. We want each athlete to grow physically, mentally, and emotionally – allowing athletes to self-organize and develop holistically at a pace that makes sense to them.”

“This program is a game-changer. To have strength, speed, and agility training, alongside rehab and recovery using the technology and the tools we have blended with a high-level education is life-changing. This type of program can put you years ahead of others in your age group.”
