I am a professional basketball player and a certified sports coach. I have been a basketball coach and fitness trainer for ages 7-18 for boys and girls from all around the world throughout the past 10+ years. I have experience working with different populations including general individuals, endurance athletes, strength athletes, basketball athletes, and physique athletes.

I have a Bachelor Degree in Psychology - with a concentration in human behaviours
I have a PGC in Sports Coaching at the Masters Level from Worcester University in the UK

With my experience as a former Division 1 NCAA Basketball Athlete (in the U.S.) and my current 
Professional Basketball career (played/lived in France Portugal,England,Canada, and China) full body fitness has become a part of my life style. Through my education and career, I have developed an understanding of how to teach lifestyle and behaviour change through evidence-based methods that promote the adoption of exercise and full body fitness. These exercises are inspired by my experiences with NCAA Division 1 programs and European professional sports. 

My philosophy has always been focused on the fundamentals. A win for me is seeing the student’s progression from where they began. Each student is unique in their own way and it is my job to identify their special gift and help bring it out of them. 

A quote I live by is "You have to do something you've never done, to get somewhere you never gone"
This class will give you tools and knowledge to help bring your fitness and endurance to the next level. 

No mandatory homework. Students are encouraged to stretch before and after class. Also students can practice some of the learned exercises in class on their own
