Tell me, how many times have you went to the gym and seen the endless sea of bicep curls, skull crushers, and sit ups all in the name of “getting stronger”? Now sure, most first time weightlifters are actually getting stronger as almost anything will help, but what about the club rugby player who you see[…]
With obesity on the rise in many developed nations and child inactivity at levels never before seen in recorded history, it’s imperative that we start getting youth into physical activity early and often. That being said, there’s also a huge surge of kids getting into organized sports going from practice to practice and competition to[…]
On top of the coaching clinic, I spent two weeks in Nairobi coaching Baba Dogo United FC. I did the clinic with coaches from 3:30-5pm and then had Baba Dogo from 5-7p. It feels weird seeing those times because people primarily use the 24 hour clock so I’m used to thinking about being done at[…]
It has been just over a month since I’ve been back Stateside from my time in Kenya and Ethiopia. This semester is beginning to consume me, but a brotha has it all under control *inner self laughs really hard*. I graduate in nearly 70 days and then everything changes, I think.

The semester is over!! This semester was the first in awhile that didn’t feel like it flew by! I’ve left to Pittsburgh for a wedding and Santa Rosa to see family all within this semester, so I’ve kinda been getting around.

So, this summer I decided I wanted to learn how to do something new, and that is to play cricket. This spring semester I did a sport diplomacy project involving cricket in India as well as a hypothetical performance training protocol for an Indian professional cricket team. Even with that, the only time I’ve[…]
Hey everybody, I know it’s been awhile since I wrote, this internship has basically owned my life the last 9 weeks. I’ve only recently had a bit of a life outside of this, mainly via ultimate frisbee. Given that, I’ve been learning quite a bit about the art of coaching and have been getting[…]
So as of publishing this, I am 4 weeks into my internship with EXOS (formerly Athletes’ Performance). I have been wanting this internship for 2 years and finally got it! I’m going to describe briefly how this experience has been as it’s been rather interesting. From beating on NFL vets in ultimate Frisbee, to sharing[…]
So on Sunday I held a speed clinic (Takeoff Speed Clinic) in my hometown of Pittsburgh PA. I wanted to do something good for the community and also have means to pay my Austin Texas rent. The program was a hands on speed clinic to teach how to sprint and how to train to sprint. […]
