- Why I love Coaching: I coach because I love helping others reach their goals! The most fulfilling thing in the world is building the youths confidence so they believe in themselves. Anything is possible and inspiring my clients to see that fills my heart everytime.
- One thing I wish I knew when I started: When I first started calisthenics, I had no clue what I was getting myself into. I was introduced to freestyle and fell in love with how FUN it was. I cancelled my gym membership and only trained freestyle at the beach. It wasnāt long after before I got my first shoulder injuryā¦thatās when I realized I was skipping out on some of the most important parts of trainingā¦building a strong foundation. I wish I knew the importance of proper warmups, mobility, activation drills, and workouts that would compliment the sport I fell in love with. To this day I still have shoulder pain and it holds me back from reaching some of my highest goals. However, I still train, just differently. Focusing on rebuilding a strong foundation from the group up, because Iām never giving up!
FUN FACTSā¼ļø
- Handstands are my absolutely favorite thing in the world. I trained them for a few years and once moving to LA, I met a whole community of upside down lovers who inspired me to get even better at them!
- I found calisthenics after quitting what I thought was my ādream jobā ā¦I loved the industry that I was in but I was overworked, underpaid and missing out on so much LIFE! The first weekend after quitting, I went to Santa Monica and met two athletes, Coach Mark being one of them, and learned my first skill that dayā¦DRAGON 360.
- I did gymnastics for 12 years and quit when I was 14 years oldā¦I started calisthenics when I was 25ā¦I never thought Iād be in a new sport after having 11 years off but Iām happy that I am.
