How long have you been coaching for Brute?
I have been coaching for Brute for a year and a half.
What is your favorite thing about coaching?
I have a passion for helping individuals improve their abilities. Not just their physical ability, but in all aspects of their lives. I genuinely want everyone to be the best version of themselves and help guide them to their max potential.
What is your favorite thing/movement to coach?
My favorite thing to coach in CrossFit is pacing strategy/plans. I love breaking down a workout and sharing what I think is the best way to go about the workout with my athletes.
What is your favorite CrossFit event or competition to attend?
In my personal competitive experience, my favorite CrossFit even to attend is Semifinals. The competitive atmosphere is extremely high because everyone wants that ticket to the CF Games.
Why do you coach for Brute and what makes coaching for Brute different from other fitness companies?
Brute was the first company that saw my physical ability and invested in me with becoming a sponsored athlete. They gave me all the resources I needed to best equip me to reach my goal of making it to the CF Games as an Individual athlete. Brute also invests and equips all of their coaches with the same level of expertise. Brute gave me an opportunity to share my personal experience as a CrossFit athlete and combine that with my training knowledge to help individuals reach their goals. Brute is different from other companies because they create specific programs to help athletes maximize their training. Brute is the best company for individuals who aspire to be well rounded athletes and competitors.
At what point to do believe an athlete should get a 1-1 coach?
If you aspire to be a semifinals or CF Games athlete, you need to invest in a coach. Furthermore, if you are an individual who has specific goals and aspirations, a 1-1 coach is a great resource to seek.
