Years Experience

I am a certified sports performance specialist and fitness coach with over 12 years of hands-on experience working with professional athletes, high school students, rehabilitation clients, and individuals with special needs.

My approach combines evidence-based training methodology with personalized programming — tailored to each athlete's unique physiology, goals, and timeline. From courtside basketball drills to post-surgery rehabilitation protocols, I bring the same elite standard to every session.

Coaching Philosophy

"Every athlete has untapped potential. My role is to create the environment, the program, and the mindset that allows that potential to surface — safely, consistently, and at peak performance."

Rehabilitation
"After my ACL surgery, I thought my basketball career was over. The rehabilitation program rebuilt not just my knee — it rebuilt my confidence. I returned to competition 8 months post-surgery at a level I hadn't reached before the injury."
