FAQs
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am constantly looking for ways to improve my knowledge. I recently took a course with James Fitzgerald and OPT to advance my coaching and program writing skills with respect to strength and conditioning. 2 years ago I went to Thailand to train with some top level Muay Thai coaches. I'm also currently working on furthering my knowledge in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I started off as a fighter. I fought amateur and professional bouts as a kick boxer and Muay Thai fighter. I had some injuries that prevented me from continuing so I decided to move into coaching, and I don't regret it for a second! It has been a very rewarding career choice.
- What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
Don't fall for hype or flash. Tried and true is the way to go. The basics are called basics for a reason, go to a coach who is willing to lay groundwork and really develop your skills, and train you the correct way.
