Book Lessons with Coach Hunter

I’ve spent the last decade coaching athletes in collegiate athletics, professional performance settings, and tactical human performance environments. I currently work as a Tactical Human Performance Specialist supporting the United States Army and the 82nd Airborne Division, where I design and implement strength and conditioning programs for military personnel.

Before that, I coached in Division I athletics with programs including the University of Texas Football, University of Utah, University of North Carolina, University of Arizona, University of Denver, University of Minnesota, Campbell University, and USA Rugby. Throughout my career, I’ve worked with athletes from a wide range of sports and backgrounds, which has helped shape a coaching style that emphasizes movement quality, athletic development, discipline, and confidence.

I’m passionate about helping athletes maximize their potential while creating training environments that are challenging, supportive, and enjoyable.

My role is to help athletes become faster, stronger, more explosive, more resilient, and more confident in their sport.

Training with me focuses on:

Speed and acceleration development

Strength and power training

Agility and change of direction

Injury reduction and movement quality

Conditioning and work capacity

Mobility and recovery strategies

Long-term athletic development

I tailor programs to the athlete’s age, sport, training history, goals, and current needs. Whether you’re trying to make varsity, prepare for college athletics, return from injury, or simply become a more complete athlete, I’ll build a plan designed specifically for you.

Sessions are structured, high-energy, and designed with purpose. Depending on the athlete and goals, a typical session may include:

Dynamic warm-up and movement prep

Sprint mechanics or speed work

Jumping, power, or agility training

Strength training and athletic development

Conditioning or energy system work

Mobility and recovery exercises

I prioritize proper technique, effort, communication, and progression while keeping sessions challenging and engaging. My goal is for athletes to leave every session feeling like they improved and learned something valuable.

Experience coaching youth, high school, collegiate, professional, and tactical athletes

Over 12 years of coaching experience in strength, speed, conditioning, and athletic performance

The best coaches I’ve had as an athlete myself, or have worked for or with over the years were demanding, consistent, and genuinely invested in helping people improve both on and off the field. They created environments that pushed athletes to high standards while still building trust and relationships.

Those experiences shaped the way I coach today. I believe great coaching is about more than just workouts - it’s about communication, accountability, confidence, and helping athletes develop habits that carry over into every area of life.

Athletes and parents should know that I truly care about long-term development and doing things the right way. I prioritize safety, technique, communication, and building confidence just as much as performance results.

I believe training should be challenging but also positive and motivating. My goal is to help athletes improve physically while also teaching discipline, consistency, work ethic, and confidence that carries over beyond sports.

I also understand that every athlete is different. I take pride in creating individualized coaching experiences based on the athlete’s goals, experience level, and needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.
