Sports performance is not only my passion, but has been core center of my identity. As a former two sport division 1 athlete, I devoted my entire life to being an athlete and competing at a high level. I played basketball and ran cross-country throughout my years at my alma matter, Coppin State University.
In my first season I did not get much play time, therefore I needed to figure out how to separate myself to earn minutes. I devoted the next few seasons strictly to sports performance training with the assistance from my sports performance coach who was invested in getting me into the best shape in my life. The the integration of basketball specific movement and individualized mesocycles translated from the weight room to the court which helped me earn a starting spot by my junior season. The effect of sports performance training also allowed me to be able to take on cross-country during the offseason of basketball.
After my years competing, I wanted to pour back into an industry that poured so much into me. After graduating, I ended up working as a sports performance coach at the division 1 level where I was

mentored by my previous sports performance coaches at my alma matter. I was appointed to teams and individual athletes, and was truly invested to setting the trajectory of their collegiate and aspiring pro careers through sports performance coaching. The first team that I worked for was tennis, before taking on men's and women's track and field.
I share my story to express the influence that this industry has on athletes both on and off the court/field. My philosophy is that any deficiency in competition can be altered through high level sports performance training. My goal is to execute this philosophy onto my clients, and expose athletes to the influence that this field can have on the quality of their performance.
"Sports performance coaches can see what head coaches fail to recognize...a player can facade their work ethic to appease the primary coaches of their sport, but the weight room will expose who is truly a dog"
