Coaching Philosophy
I have been in love with running since I was a 4th grader. The sport has brought me more than I can imagine since those days. Through competing for titles, striving to break barriers, travelling across the world, and meeting lifelong friends, I have learned that this is what I am passionate about. Being coached by me would mean that you are choosing to place yourself in the best possible position to succeed. My experience at the NCAA level and Florida State allows me to provide a unique perspective to my athletes. As I am one of the only private coaches in the running world that is also a current student-athlete as well. I love to lead my athletes to approach their training with the mindset of being a complete athlete. I believe this quote embodies it best: "It's all about checking boxes. If you truly want what you're after, you'll choose to minimize those left blank."
