Strength and conditioning

Programming built for the athletes you actually have.

Tell me your sport, your setting, and what your season needs. I build from there, whether that is one athlete, one team for a season, or a full year across your program. Youth through professional.

  • Written by a CSCS
  • Periodized to LTAD
  • Off-season through in-season

How I coach

Four things I will not trade away.

A program an athlete cannot explain is a program that stops working the day they walk out of your weight room. Compliance travels no further than the door.

A repetition with compromised technique is not a repetition. It is wasted risk.

Most programs hand a fourteen year old a college macrocycle and call it training. I build to where an athlete actually is, biologically, cognitively, and emotionally.

I will not build strength on top of dysfunction. Technical mastery precedes load, every time, at every level.

Where this comes from

Coaching strength and conditioning from youth to professional.

I have coached every level this work touches, and I still coach most of them.

Youth
Grades 3 to 5
Ten years of seasonal camps, four to five cycles a year. Safe movement, foundational strength, long term athletic development.
Middle school
Grades 6 to 8
The same camp pathway, run as a feeder. Athletes arrive in ninth grade already knowing how to move and how to behave in a weight room.
High school
Director of Strength and Conditioning, Brunswick City Schools, since 2013. I built the program from zero infrastructure. Two hundred or more students a semester through PE, and 25 varsity sports on top of that.
College
Assistant Strength and Conditioning Coach at John Carroll University since 2024, running the annual training plan for men's and women's swimming and diving. Division I internships before that at Notre Dame, Cleveland State, and Akron.
Professional
An athletic training internship in the Milwaukee Brewers organization, 2007 to 2011. Since then I have trained professional athletes through their off-season, in the university environments they come back to.

Division I athlete myself, swimming and diving at Cleveland State. Scholar-Athlete All-American.

Tell me what you are working with.

Mostly dropdowns, about two minutes. The more specific you are about your level and your season, the more useful the first reply back to you is.
