WHY ARE YOU A FITNESS COACH?
I am a fitness coach because I am fascinated with the human body and what it is capable of. On top of that, the joy that people express when they lose weight, hit a new personal best, or accomplish something that they thought was impossible, is priceless.
HOW HAS CCP SHAPED YOUR COACHING PRACTICE?
OPEX CCP has shaped my coaching practice by making my approach more analytical. OPEX has also helped me when it comes to needing to change things up for clients week to week whether a client is dealing with an injury or is not receiving the correct dose response. Finally, OPEX CCP showed me that you do not need to create the perfect program to be a professional coach.

My ultimate training session involves Olympic Weightlifting and bodybuilding accessories.

Homemade pizza. My wife and I make pizzas every Sunday, dough and all!
