WHY ME?

Growing up I did not have the resources many young athletes have today. Mentorship was not at my disposal to help me navigate my own athletic journey and 

I know how difficult it can feel not knowing what to do, where to start, who to trust, etc. 

 

Now more than ever I have seen the struggles athletes are facing, as sports have become much more competitive. The pressures and expectations to perform come not only from the outside but the inside as well. 

 

Consistently bringing your best each day can weigh a lot on you - trust me, I know!

 

As a former professional soccer player, I have experienced those same challenges and have had to find ways on my own to be that consistent player, gain that edge and compete daily at a high level. I have come to truly understand that we are holistic beings and when we address our entire being, mind-body-spirit, only then can we bring out the healthiest, happiest version of ourselves.

 

Now, a fulltime licensed coach post playing career, I am extremely passionate about empowering you to own your development as well as share my own tricks and tools to help you navigate your own athletic journey and set you up for a mentality for life.

 

WHAT I ENJOY

  • ⚽️ Sports – I was a multi-sport athlete growing up and still have a passion to be active, compete, and learn different skillsets and valuable life lessons. Sports are a universal language that brings individuals and communities together to form bonds and create new relationships.
  • 🙏 Faith – Living life for something greater than myself and trusting in a higher being has been my foundation and rock throughout my life so far.
  • 🥑 Nutrition – What we put into our bodies affects our entire being – mind, body, and spirit – and I have an exciting curiosity to try new foods and tastes, and expanding my palate.
  • 🌲 Nature – Being outside and enjoying the beauties of our earth is so healing and restorative that I can’t seem to go a day without taking advantage of the calming powers of nature.
  • 🏝 Travel – Experiencing new places, people, and cultures widens my life perspective and allows me to appreciate the beautiful earth we live on and just how unique but very similar human beings are.
  • 🤝 Community – Surrounding myself with individuals with common attitudes, values, and goals brings me strength and joy to reach my passions and help others do the same.
