A CrossFit coach for 11 years, an affiliate owner for 10 and within the last 9 years I’ve coached 3 individual athletes and 2 teams to Regionals, 3 individuals and 3 teams to sanctionals and coached Age Group Qualifier athletes in both Teen and Masters divisions.
The last 9 years as a competitor coach has not only allowed me to build in-depth knowledge of programming, competition prep and technique coaching. It’s also taught me how to mentor athletes on mindset, lifestyle choices and most importantly, helping them discover what really drives them and makes them “tick”, which is key to unlocking an athlete’s true potential.
The only things I ask from my athletes are the same 4 things they should expect from me. These are my 4 non-negotiables from my experience to lay a solid foundation for a long-lasting, successful relationship:
Honesty, communication, commitment and hard work.
