I can help athletes improve their physical development whether that be speed, strength, agility, and/or vertical and horizontal jumping ability. I can also help athletes prepare for their transitions to high school or college sports by advising what they should look for to keep themselves healthy and properly developing throughout their career.

A typical training session will consist of a 15-20 minute preparation phase. Including things like mobility, dynamic warmups, and breathing practices. Once the preparation phase is done the athlete will get into their work phase for the day. This may include resistance training, plyometrics, speed development, or whatever else the athlete has intentions of developing. Once the work phase is completed they will complete their cool down phase which may include static stretching, mobility, and/or breathing practices. These training sessions may vary from 45 minutes to 90 minutes. Training varies depending on time of year, goals, and previous experiences.

My best coach ever is Coach Marcus McLin. He now coaches at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater as the Co-Head Coach, and Defensive Coordinator. He was an All-American and won multiple national championships in his career at Wisconsin-Whitewater as well. He was my best coach because not only did he teach me technique, how to break down film, and how to be a real leader of men. He taught me the process of becoming a D.O.G., which I strive to apply to my life everyday in every area. He had a genuine concern for all his players outside of the game he coached us in. He supported us mentally and emotionally. Which was huge with the standard that was held in our program by him. He bred confidence in his players by developing habits that directly translate to our performance whether it was school, film study, or effort/technique in practice. I have not played for a coach that changed me as a person and player as much as he did, and I could not ever express what having a hard working, genuine coach did for me and my teammates. Also, he took our defense from being one of the worst in the conference to the best in nearly every category the conference tracked in 2022. He made 8 of his 11 starters either 1st or 2nd Team All Conference selections in one year.

I would like all my athletes and parents know that I am passionate about developing athletes whether that be in the weight room or on the field/court. My main priority is getting them to a level where they can dominate their competition, but have the knowledge of what will set them up for success as they further their career. Things change as athletes go from middle school to high school, and high school to college. What separates athletes is always their mindset and preparation. I aspire all my athletes to have the confidence of knowing they are well prepared, and they have someone in their corner who will be devoted to enhancing their knowledge in any area of their sport. I have been blessed with the opportunity to meet and build relationships with coaches in a variety of sports and levels of competition from multiple Division 1 FBS Football Coaches, D2 Head Track and Field Coaches, and Division 1 FBS Strength and Conditioning Coaches. All who have mentored me physically, mentally, and spiritually.
