Sports Performance Training

BACKGROUND

I was a competitive athlete growing up, participating in soccer, basketball and volleyball. I later went onto play D1 collegiate basketball at Valparaiso University where I became one of the top 3 VU players to finish with +400 pt, +200 rebounds in a single season, was named VU-WBB MVP and selected as a candidate for Top Female Athlete. During my collegiate career I suffered severe knee injuries, tearing my ACL and meniscus & putting me in and out of surgeries, limiting my freshman and sophomore seasons. Looking back, I’m thankful for those moments. It’s shaped my passion for sports performance and opened up many opportunities to further help and support athletes walking through similar journeys.

After college I went on to become a strength and conditioning coach. I have trained a variety of athletes ranging from basketball, volleyball, softball, baseball, soccer, diving, swimming, water polo, track & field + more. I’ve worked in sports performance at Valparaiso University, Indiana University and later at a Sports Medicine Center. I now currently train athletes of various sports in person and online via Add to Life.

MY HOPE AND PASSION IS TO HELP BUILD ELITE LEVEL ATHLETES, physically and mentally
