About James

I am a lifelong advocate for functional training, now serving as a dedicated strength and conditioning coach. My approach centers on evidence-based program design tailored to individual needs and preferences. During my adolescent years, I became acutely aware of the pervasive misinformation surrounding health and fitness, a vulnerability I too experienced. While taking it upon myself to train my high school teammates, I uncovered significant gaps in my knowledge. Realizing that to genuinely assist others, I needed to acquire accurate information from reputable sources. My aspiration is to democratize collegiate and professional-level sports science, making it accessible to all. Motivated by a desire to become a beacon, delivering trustworthy insights to those passionate about human performance, I embarked on the journey to become the well-informed CSCS I wish I had encountered in my youth.
