Coaching Values

• Athlete-Centered Coaching:

My aim is to coach the whole client. I hope to help you increase your understanding of training and nutrition, teach you how to create effective habits that lead to sustainable progress, and guide you as you develop self-awareness and ownership of your performance in a manner that will bleed into other aspects of your life.

• Communication:

I am fully committed to being available to answer client questions in both a thorough and timely manner. Additionally, I encourage an open and honest, two-way communication model between coach and athlete. We will be able to make more progress when we are sharing information with each other. I firmly believe that a strong coach-athlete relationship built on trust can improve results.

• Process-Oriented Coaching:

We all love results, and I can guide you toward your goals. However, it is important to also focus on the process. I aim to help athletes identify and focus on what it is they enjoy about training and improving their nutrition and lifestyle habits. We can set process-oriented goals and stack up wins that allow us to gain momentum and a deeper appreciation for both training and nutritional progress. In turn, focusing on the process usually improves the results as a byproduct.

• Personalization:

My hope to provide personalized coaching services goes beyond an exercise or nutrition program customized to your individual circumstances, experience, and goals. Additionally, I aim to coach you as an individual. I will meet you where you are, and we will work together to develop a relationship that fits your wants, needs, and the type of feedback you prefer and respond to best.

• Continued Education:

Learning and development is an on-going process. I promise to do my best to continue to develop as a coach in the areas of training, nutrition, sport psychology, and coach-athlete communication. I am never satisfied with my current understanding, and I am committed continuously trying to improve the coaching services I offer.
