I grew up playing sports my whole life. I can technically say I played college football, though I only played a few days before tearing my knee up and cutting that dream short. Since then I’ve competed in multiple CrossFit events, coached a couple of people through power lifting meets, and have helped both athletes and everyday people find their rhythm in life through personal training.
When I tore my knee in football I had a pretty large depression where I didn’t know what to do or where to go. I turned to lifting soon after and eventually became a typically “gym bro” throughout college. I missed the competitive aspect of athletics however, so I tried out CrossFit. My goal was to beat the fittest guy at the gym, I finished last in that workout that had a room full of people. I soon realized that the competition could not be with other people, but with myself. I could use others as motivation during a workout, but true change only comes when you challenge yourself and try to beat your own personal best.
I love helping people find the best ways to motivate themselves and getting them that one small cue that can change a whole entire movement or workout. I’ve coached football and fitness for several years now and the most rewarding moments through both have been seeing people overcome an obstacle and develop brand new mindsets that they had not seen possible before. Through personal training, athlete training, power lifting and CrossFit, there is something for everyone and I love helping others find their rhythm in the gym!
