ABOUT

Personal Trainer for Athletes in Haymarket Gainesville VA

Your athlete’s success isn’t just about strength and speed—it’s about mindset, discipline, and learning to lead from within so they can lead others. That’s where I come in.

I’m a 20-year U.S. Army Special Forces Veteran, but my time in uniform doesn’t define me—it prepared me. Five tours in Afghanistan, graduating from U.S. Army Ranger School, and completing several marathons and ultra-marathons built the resilience, leadership, and mental toughness I now bring to the athletes and families I coach.

 

What I offer goes beyond reps and drills. With a Master’s in Organizational Leadership, a Bachelor’s in Psychology, and certifications in performance coaching, speed training, and mental performance, I help youth and high school athletes develop the complete tools to succeed—not just in their sport, but in life.

 

I specialize in coaching athletes in speed- and power-based sports like football, lacrosse, wrestling, basketball, track, and MMA—where composure, explosiveness, and preparation separate winners from the rest. My coaching blends proven athletic development methods with the same mental performance principles used by elite tactical teams and professional competitors.

🔷 Why I Coach 

Because sports are one of the best environments to build confidence, discipline, and character that last a lifetime.
 

Because the right training teaches more than how to run fast—it teaches how to think clearly, lead under pressure, and evolve as an athlete and person.

I don’t train everyone. I work with athletes and families who are ready to commit—not just to a one-off session, but to real development.

If your athlete is coachable, hardworking, and focused on becoming not just a better player—but a better competitor, teammate, and person—then I’d be proud to work with them.
