Change is an Inside Game
After 20 years of teaching and coaching — from kindergarten PE and NCAA champions to 76-year-old entrepreneurs and #1 NFL draft picks — one truth has remained consistent: lasting change is an inside job.
There’s a gap between where you are now and where you want to be — physically.
That gap is what brought you here.
And it’s why I’m here — to help you bridge it.
Together, we’ll get you back to looking, feeling, and performing like the man you know you can be.
My coaching isn’t about hacks, trends, or optimization tricks — though we’ll absolutely build new habits.
It’s high touch and deeply relational. It’s about getting to the root of why you can’t get there alone.
Then building the self-leadership skills and the knowledge you need to stay there — long after our work is done.
Because real transformation doesn’t start with the body.
It starts with the man leading it.
The Men I Work With:
Are former competitive athletes ready to look, feel, and perform better — in the gym and beyond it.
They’re not lazy — they’re stuck.
Life’s gotten heavier. They’ve kept it all together, but somewhere along the way, they lost the edge.
They don’t feel like themselves anymore — in their energy, their motivation, and their reflection.
They’ve tried to get back on track. They push for a few weeks, then life pushes back.
They blame time, work, or age — but deep down, they know it’s more than that.
And finally the pain of this existence starts to outweigh the comfort of inaction.
They’re ready to rebuild — like you.
What you need isn’t another 8 week plan.
You need a process — and a coach who sees the whole man.
Together, we rebuild from the inside out so you don’t just look fit again —
you feel like yourself again: strong, capable, and alive.
The Challenge
Every man faces Resistance.
Sometimes it shows up outside you — the packed schedule, the stress, the fatigue, the endless decisions that drain your energy before you ever get to your workout.
Other times, it’s inside you — the doubt, the shame, the voice that says “What’s the point?” or “You’ll never get back to where you were.”
Most men try to fight resistance with more discipline.
They white-knuckle their way through until willpower runs out — and the cycle repeats.
But what if resistance isn’t the enemy?
What if it’s the mirror — showing you exactly where you need to grow?
Because here’s the truth: resistance never goes away.
You don’t beat it once.
You learn to meet it — again and again — with curiosity, compassion, and courage.
That’s where self-leadership begins.
Because real change doesn’t come from avoiding resistance —
it comes from learning to value it,
to see it as the very thing that strengthens you —
just like the weight on the bar.
The Process
Change doesn’t happen all at once.
It happens in moments — through consistent, aligned action.
This is Self-Leadership — the practice of turning resistance into growth.
1. Curiosity
Curiosity is the antidote to resistance.
It creates space for reflection, realignment, and growth.
It’s how you learn to stay open — especially when things get hard.
2. Awareness
Awareness brings truth into focus.
You start to see your patterns — the habits, stories, and reactions that shape your outcomes.
You can’t change what you can’t see.
3. Clarity
With awareness comes clarity — knowing what matters most.
You stop chasing everything and start focusing on what actually drives progress.
Clarity makes the path simple, even when it’s not easy.
4. Ownership
No more outsourcing responsibility.
You stop blaming time, age, or circumstance and start owning your choices.
Ownership isn’t pressure — it’s power.
5. Action
Action turns insight into embodiment.
You follow through.
Every rep, every decision, every honest effort rebuilds self-trust and confidence.
Self-leadership isn’t a linear process - it’s a lifelong practice that evolves with you every step of the way.
The Outcome
Through this process, you become a man who—
Looks better, feels better, and performs better — because he’s no longer fighting himself.
Leads himself toward any goal he finds worthwhile — and finds meaning in who he becomes along the way.
Uses his vitality to contribute to the people and causes he cares for most.
Identifies, articulates, and validates his emotions — building connection instead of avoiding it.
Recognizes his thoughts — learning to drop the unhelpful and amplify the helpful.
Acts with clarity and consistency, aligned with his vision and values.
Takes ownership of his choices — communicating honestly when he falls short.
Stays curious instead of reactive when faced with challenge.
When resistance stops being the enemy, life opens up.
Your mind becomes clear again.
Your body becomes capable again.
And you start to feel like yourself again — strong, grounded, and alive.
Book a Call
If this sounds like the type of support you’re looking for let’s jump on a call to figure out how I can help.
My Journey
For years, soccer was my world.
And when that world was good — the wins, the championships, the awards — my world was good.
Until the wins dried up.
My responsibility as a head coach grew.
And I started to retreat.
Eventually, I found myself 40+ pounds overweight, disconnected, depressed, and staring at a man in the mirror I didn’t recognize.
I didn’t know where I was going — but somewhere deep down, I knew the way forward started in my body.
This is where I found “connection through capacity"
Each rep was an opportunity to meet myself honestly.
This is where I met Resistance — in every form.
And with the support of self-study, therapy, friends, and family, I didn’t just find my way back to myself —
I found the path forward to the man I was meant to become (and still very much becoming).
That path became my calling — to help other men do the same.
I now combine my 20 years of coaching in sport and fitness with my experience in self-exploration and leadership to guide men through their own transformation — from disconnected to integrated, from broken to whole.
My vision goes beyond 1:1 coaching.
I’m building a container where men can grow together — through group work, shared challenge, and experiences in the outdoors that reconnect us to what’s real.
Because the goal isn’t just to get fit.
It’s to feel fully alive again — in body, mind, and heart.
And no man should have to do it alone.
