Träningsfilosofi

We all carry goals: Short-term, long-term, defined and not yet defined. Any worth-while goal requires clarification of the goal itself, identification of obstacles, and a plan of action. The coach’s role is to help create a game-plan and to help the client/athlete find motivation and clarity in the pursuit and achievement of inherent goals.
Mindset is pivotal. I see weakness, for example, not as an obstacle, but rather as an opportunity. If we pursue these opportunities, strength will arise. Developing mindset becomes a feed-forward process that in turn develops motivation, mentality and attitude.

Bakgrund

My relationship with training is stronger than grandma & grandpa’s marriage. It’s personal and professional. I’ve been passionate about training my whole life, and have played most sports that can be played. I’ve trained, overtrained, de-trained and spent time untrained. I’ve worked with Olympic/Paralympic athletes. I’ve competed with and against world-class athletes in multiple sports. I’ve studied the effects of training, through college and grad school, and have helped high-level athletes as well as weekend athletes to reach goals and grow.

Egenskaper

‍We get to choose whether we take short-cuts get things done hastily or whether we find strategies that we can use to achieve lasting results. Often goals we set are realistic, but the timeframe is not. I work with clients and athletes to developing perspective and strategies that create long-term wins in life.
