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. Anyways, I’ve had ample[…]
I know it has been awhile and many of you have been waiting for a post. Once I returned to Texas, I walked directly into chaos. My semester is going to be nuts! My next post will be a recap of the coaching clinic. As the first part of my recap, I want to talk[…]
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. It was another semester of great classes, helping me learn a lot about myself[…]
As mentioned in the previous blog post I ‘m a performance coach for the best Quidditch team in all the land, literally. My job is to make them be as athletic as possible and reduce non-contact injuries so that when they run on the pitch, they actually look like they’re flying. In this segment I[…]

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. […]
Listen, you have no idea just how relieved I am right now. 3 hours ago (from when I started typing) I submitted my final project to close out my first year of graduate school at the University of Texas. The last 9 months have just been a roller coaster. From me feeling exhausted during my[…]
