American Health Association: First Aid, CPR, & AED
On 01/19/2020 and 08/08/2022 I successfully completed the cognitive and skills evaluations in accordance with the curriculum of the American Health Association Healthsaver. First Aid refers to giving medical attention to a sick or injured person until full medical treatment is available. CPR and AED refer to techniques that are provided to victims of a heart attack.
ISSA Specialist in Strength & Conditioning
Until recently, most people believed that power athletes are born and not made. That has changed. Modern training techniques can make anybody faster, stronger, and more powerful. Athletes at all levels - from grade school to the NFL - can sharpen their competitive edge with the help of an expert trainer. As an ISSA student working toward my certification in this area, I will soon be able to help you expand your body's capacity for challenging athletic feats while remaining strong and free from injury.
USATF Speed Coach
In the winter of 2021 I did an internship with a USA track and field team. I was also taking an online course to be a certified coach specializing in speed and acceleration.
ISSA Certified Nutritionist
Whether you want to gain muscle, lose fat, or live healthily, your limiting factor usually lies beyond exercise. Poor nutrition is what holds people back. As a certified specialist in this area, I can help you dispel the common myths about nutrition, and then work with you to design a "real world" nutrition plan that you can actually stick with and enjoy.
ISSA Corrective Exercise Specialist
Whether you sit for long periods of time, are a weekend warrior, or fall somewhere in-between, it is quite likely that you may have a movement deficiency that is causing suboptimal physical performance and increased physical pain. As an ISSA student working towards my certification in corrective exercise, I can perform movement assessments, make referrals to medical professionals when necessary, and incorporate appropriate strategies into your training program to help you correct movement dysfunctions and muscle imbalances. Ultimately, this will lead to improved physical performance and reduced physical pain.
