FAQs
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Yes, I have continuing education classes through American Academy of Personal Training. I am currently studying to obtain my CSCS NSCA certification.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
After college I interned as a Strength Coach for XP Performance. Working at XP allowed me to work with elite athletes (hockey, lacrosse, football, basketball, baseball, soccer) 1 on 1 and team settings. My boss was one of the best mentors I had, he taught me how to train youth athletes on strength and conditioning programs. We worked together on teaching strength lifts, correcting athletes form, coaching each athlete on body mechanics, core development and speed agility work. This opened my eyes to how much work goes into the coaching/training side of athletics and I fell in love with helping youth athletes reach their goals.
