“My goal as a coach is to get the most from my athletes. I focus on the process and setting achievable goals with my team to get results. What makes me different from other coaches is my approach to training and coaching. I meticulously prepare programs to best meet the needs of my athletes. Being a competitive lifter, I understand the dedication, motivation and sacrifices needed to succeed in weightlifting. It’s a sport that demands a lot physically, mentally and emotionally from an athlete. It’s all about pushing limits.”
