Simply put- I love helping others. Learning from my mistakes, what has worked/doesn't work, and having been surrounded in the athlete scene/lifestyle my entire life, I feel that I can help others improve and maximize their potential. At the same time, having a great interest in the science and physiology of how the body works has always been of interest to me. Using different stresses (intensity, volume) and figuring a way to craft the greatest potential in an athlete is what I'm passionate about! |
How I coach |
Every athlete has their own specific needs and goals. They also are individuals with a different families, lifestyles, and careers. I've seen it before where a coach develops a plan, mass produces it, and sends it to their athletes that are aiming for certain distance races. Yes, that can work and improve the individual, but that isn't my goal. My goal is to maximize each individual's potential. I want to do all that I can to make sure each athlete that I work with is on a path to make gains that they've never seen before. All together, my coaching is fairly simple. It is structured, planned out, and specific. I look to incorporate a variety of stresses in order to push each individual but at the same time really look to make sure recovery is paid attention to. Without proper recovery, they body just cannot handle certain workloads and fails. I aim to stress the body enough to make gains, but also back off to allow recovery. When having weeks, months, and even years of consistent training under the belt, major gains are made. I also stress on the importance of communication. If I were to only send out workouts and never have any feedback, it is nearly impossible to make sure we are on the path to success. The athlete/coach relationship is critical in my book and a pure necessity for both to succeed. I've been that athlete before that didn't say something when I was feeling ill, too tired, and worn down. And I've seen what happens when one just continues to train through and follow the plan. I've also been that athlete that gets too busy, misses a workout, and tries to make up for it by doing an extra workout the following day. More times than not, that does not work. It's critical for the coach and athlete to be in constant feedback with one another before there are downward spirals. COMMUNICATION IS KEY! |
