Texts like this mean the world to me.

Not because it’s praise — but because it confirms the impact goes deeper than reps, speed, or strength. It’s about character.

As a coach, I’m not afraid to have hard conversations. I’m not afraid to rock the boat. If I see a weakness — mentally, emotionally, or physically — I’m going to attack it and help your child see it too. That’s my responsibility. That’s the standard.

Athletic ability will only take you so far. Nobody cares how talented you are if your body language and attitude are terrible. Who you are matters more than how fast you run or how high you jump.

Great parents understand that their child is a work in progress — just like they are. Growth is the goal. No matter how athletic or uncoordinated you are, there is always room to improve.

I’m incredibly grateful for every opportunity to partner with parents who trust me to pull the best out of their child — not just as an athlete, but as a person.

Life isn’t about being better than everyone else. That’s just noise.
It’s about becoming THE BEST VERSION OF YOU.

Work hard. Stay consistent. Keep that growth mindset. 😤💪🏼👊🏼

Session working on some explosiveness 🧨 Blown away at this kids progress. If you could see where he was versus where he is now - this is the power of hard work & consistency.

I’ve said it before & I’ll say it again - hard work isn’t a someday lesson—it starts now. 🔥 When kids learn early that effort creates results, they build grit, confidence, and belief in themselves. They’re still kids, always—but letting them discover what their bodies are capable of plants a fire that spreads into every part of their lives. Strong habits. Strong minds. Strong futures.

Today’s lunch after skipping breakfast. Chicken, steak, shrimp, salmon, asparagus, & quinoa, topped w/ pumpkin seeds & yellow bird blue agave siracha 🔥. Eating healthy doesn’t have to be torturous. This was delicious + also fueled me enough to get through my afternoon workout with good energy 💪🏼

Shoutout to pastor Alex for popping over to get a lift in with me the past couple Monday’s. Heaviest weight I’ve been under in a while for bench press & it felt so good!! Lift heavy weights. Do hard things. Do them with people who push you to be better 💪🏼😤

“As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.”
-Proverbs 27:17

Confession: Pastor Alex is indeed stronger than me as I had to drop my weight by the 3rd set 😔
