Why Do You Train?
I have always loved athletics and helping people. I also enjoy connecting with people and the camaraderie that comes with working together toward a common goal. Coaching meshes all those things together!
What is Your Training Style?
First, I thin k it is important that as a coach, I connect with the people I work with on a personal level. I care and I want people to be successful and feel supported. I think positive encouragement and feedback are essential. I also believe proper fundamentals, form and technique are keys to success and staying healthy. So I work hard to give clear explanations on our movements, then add minor tweaks to maximize success.
Advice for Others?
We are all on our own fitness journeys. The hardest thing is often just getting started. Make your journey, your own. Start moving, ideally doing something you love. A little action is better than no action. Then staying consistent is key as you get stronger and layer on more movements.
