Summary

I had mentorship under high-level coaches at Westside Barbell and Driveline Baseball. My independent experience as a strength coach helped me to learn how to implement theoretical knowledge into the practical execution of programs that make athletes perform better. An extensive background in biology and chemistry helps with understanding adaptation to training and future research in this area.
