Who I Am
I’ve worked with about 50 different coaches throughout my athletic journey. Many were knowledgeable. Many were well-intentioned. But only two truly left a lasting mark on me. Ruth, my Tae Kwon Do coach, and Judy, my swimming coach. Out of all the programs, seasons, and voices, they are the only two whose standards never left me.
What separated them wasn’t intensity or volume. It was presence, precision and accountability. And an unspoken level of respect that made it impossible to give anything less than your best.
With most coaches, there’s space to drift. To shave a rep. To rush a set. To report numbers that sound right instead of ones that are true. When accountability is loose, effort becomes negotiable and progress quietly stalls.
With Ruth and Judy, there was nowhere to hide. They didn’t coach everyone the same. They paid attention. They found where I was weak and made me stronger there, while sharpening my strengths until they became undeniable. They didn’t just train my body—they trained my discipline, confidence, and mindset.
That is the difference between good coaching and great coaching.
Great coaching is not about motivation. It’s about accountability rooted in respect. When the relationship is right, excuses disappear. You don’t cheat the work because you understand the standard and you trust who is holding you to it.
Great coaching is built on trust, accountability, and respect. When those exist, excuses disappear. Effort becomes non-negotiable. You don’t cheat the work because you understand what’s being built and who is guiding the process.
That experience shaped the way I coach today.
I do not coach at scale. I intentionally limit the number of clients I work with because this level of coaching demands time, focus, and discretion. My clients are not placed into templates, shared systems, or generic plans. They receive my attention, my analysis, and my investment.
I study how you move. I look for the compensations, the inefficiencies, the habits that quietly cap your performance. I identify weak spots—not to criticize them, but to eliminate them. And I identify your strengths—not to simply preserve them, but to sharpen them until they become undeniable.
This is not about doing more.
It’s about doing things correctly, consistently, and at a standard that doesn’t allow shortcuts.
At this level, coaching is personal. Accountability is expected. Effort is non-negotiable. And trust is mutual.
This is not fitness for everyone.
This is private coaching for those who value excellence, precision, and results, understanding that the right coach doesn’t just train you.
I hold you to who you’re capable of becoming.
I am not here to coach you to your comfort level, I am here to coach you to your goals.
