He says "I love being able to meet people where they are on their fitness journey, to do things at their pace and gradually increase the level of intensity. One of my favorite things to do is time trials, from start to finish. The second time our athletes do a time trial exercise, it always amazes me how much faster they do it each time. They are definitely motivated to beat the first timed drill they do. I love seeing that growth and how they can be motivated in that way and just keep going. Being able to be in this position as a coach and seeing our young athletes succeed is a great feeling."
