ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE ENHANCEMENT
Your sport is a part of your dream. There is hard work, sweat, and likely s few tears involved as you work towards your goals. If you haven't been an athlete, you won't understand the dedication and passion involved. I know what it's like to spend hours a day perfecting your craft. How it feels to be in bed early on Friday nights while your friends are out so you can be at your peak for the game tomorrow. The exhaustion that is the first preseason workout. And the winning moments that make it all worth it.
​
I've worked with a variety of athletes of all ages and skill levels to get them to their goals and often beyond what they expected. Whether you want to run faster, swing harder, kick further, or cut harder, I have the knowledge and experience to make you better. My background in sports medicine gives me an advantage that no other strength coach or personal trainer in the area has. I specialize in injury prevention and post injury training in addition to athletic performance enhancement. Contact me at betterbodies757@gmail.com or 757-251-0779 to get started.

Over the past year I've also worked in Pediatric Sports Medicine as an athletic trainer for The Children's Hospital of the King's Daughters to further my competence in youth training.

I teach athletes appropriate training and exercise methods that they can utilize in their team practices and during competition.
