What is your job title, and what do you do at the College?
Strength & Conditioning Coach / Sport Development Officer - I oversee the Basketball Program, including coach development, strategy, and player development, while also managing the strength and conditioning program for all students to enhance athletes' performance in their respective fields.
What do you love most about health/sport/fitness?
My fiancée says I'm extremely competitive because I'm an Aries, whatever that means. However, what I love even more than winning is the strategy behind achieving success and the journey it takes to get there. The growth and empowerment that come from pursuing your goals are what truly keep me passionate about this industry.
What is your favourite thing to do outside of work?
Board games. Settlers of Catan is a classic, but I’m enjoying exploring more complex games and even designing my own right now! I also love being part of my fitness community, especially since I’m currently training for the Hyrox races.
If you could train any professional athlete, who would it be and why?
I'd choose an athlete from a sport I have no experience in, like a Cirque du Soleil performer or a Red Bull athlete. I enjoy learning the intricacies of how athletes move and perform at a high level, and training someone in a new discipline would be a unique challenge
What do you most enjoy about your role at the College?
Building positive relationships with the students. Having real conversations helps me motivate them to reach greater heights. Plus, I get to play basketball and be in the gym with people who share the same passion, it’s a pretty cool gig!!
