1:1 Online Performance Coaching
Ready wherever you land. Training that travels, for athletic-minded adults 40+.
You still want to train and live like an athlete. The season used to set your schedule. Now your career, your family, and your travel do. I build the plan that keeps you an athlete through it all.

Be ready when the invitation comes.
The text from a friend: pickup game Thursday? Your kids asking for one more run before the lifts close. A trip where you hike to the good spot instead of waiting at the bottom.
You say yes without doing the math first.
You feel like an athlete again. Coached, with a goal on the calendar and a reason to train.
Your body is ready. Stronger, more powerful, better conditioned, leaner, and moving with confidence.
Your training travels with you. Wherever you land, the plan is already there.
Fitness should serve your life, not consume it.
You live life on the move. Most plans can't keep up.
You were the one who competed. Now you're running a business, a family, and a calendar that changes by the hour. Training is supposed to fit in there somewhere.
One more decision
"I don't want to decide what to do today." You make a thousand calls before lunch. Then the workout app, the saved programs, and the nutrition advice ask you to make one more: what to train, how hard, what to eat. So most days, you skip it.
The stop-start cycle
"Every time my week changes, I get off track." A trip, a new time zone, a sick kid, a late meeting. The plan breaks, the momentum goes, and you start over. Again.
Put those together and you drift. Not all at once. One missed week at a time.
Wanting it isn't the problem. A plan that breaks, instead of bends, is.
Don't make Plan C your standard.
When life gets busy, most programs go one of two ways.
They break. A plan built for a perfect week, with nothing for the week you actually have. One last-minute trip, one sick kid, one week of late meetings, and it's gone.
Or they lower the bar. Bodyweight only. A kettlebell in the hotel room, forever. Ten-minute workouts sold as the whole answer. They never break because they never ask much of you.
A bodyweight hotel-room workout is a great Plan C on an unexpected travel day, but that's a pivot, not the whole plan. You're here to play real sports and chase real adventures, and that takes training that challenges you, not training that caters to you.
The program changes with your week. The standard doesn't.
A plan that responds to real life
The Responsive Performance Method is built for weeks that don't go to plan. You bring the goal and effort. I carry the plan, the decisions, and the pivots.
- Set the direction. What do you want your body ready for? The next ski trip, the next season, and the next decade.
- Know where you are. We test the three capacities that matter most for athletes over 40: speed, endurance, and durability. Old injuries included. We work with them, not around them.
- Plan the pivots. Plan A, plus a plan for every travel day, sleepless night, and flare-up, ready before you need it.
- Keep it rolling. When Plan A goes out the window, you take the next best option. No starting over. Onward, always.
You don't decide what to do today. It's already decided, and it already fits your week.
Showing up is your part. A plan that bends instead of breaks is mine.
Built for athletes at heart
You don't have to be in shape to start. You just to be willing to perform again, and together we'll get you there.
This is for you if:
- You played in high school or college, or you still do, and you want to look, move, and feel like an athlete again.
- Your life moves across borders, time zones, or seasons, and your training has to move with you.
- You're 40 or older and not done finding out what you can do.
- You want a real coach who knows you, not another app.
- You're ready to own your part.
It's not for you if:
- Your only goal is a number on the scale.
- Getting good at exercise is the goal itself.
- You want someone else to be responsible for your results.
The coach who's lived the gap
There's a gap between the life you want to live and what your body is ready for today. I know it well.
For years I coached college athletes while I was 50 pounds over my playing weight, too embarrassed to jump into the training myself.
In 2020 I closed that gap: back to my playing weight and match fit. But back then, I had time on my side.
Now I'm doing it again: 50+ hour work weeks, living between two cities, and a move overseas coming up quick. Less time, a life that moves fast, and I still want to explore my edge. The same life my clients live.
- 20 years coaching, from pre-K PE to #1 NFL draft picks, and from NCAA champions to 76-year-old retirees
- Former head college soccer coach, assistant university strength coach, and adjunct exercise science professor
- Still competing: mountain races, SUP nationals, and indoor soccer every Tuesday
Now I coach athletes 40+ around the world, from wherever I land. Next stop: Brazil.
Questions before you start
How much does online coaching cost?
Coaching is $395 a month. That's 1:1, individualized coaching: training, fueling, and recovery. You've got a coach in your pocket wherever you land, one who's here to challenge you, support you, and hold the standard with you.
What if I'm out of shape right now?
Start where you are. Your plan begins with where your body is today, not where it was at 25. Most clients come in feeling far from their athletic self. That's the point.
How much time do I need each week?
Plan on at least 3–4 days a week, about 45-60 minutes each, in your best weeks. The exact plan is built around your short-term goals and long-term vision. When a week gets short, there's already a shorter version ready.
What happens when I travel?
Your training comes with you. Before a trip, we plan around what you'll have: a full gym, a hotel gym, or nothing at all. Travel days get a Plan C. Your standard stays the same.
What if I have an old injury?
We work with it, not around it. Your plan accounts for cranky knees, shoulders, and backs from day one. If something needs a doctor or physical therapist, I'll tell you, and we'll build around their guidance.
Is the strategy call a sales pitch?
No. It's 30 minutes about your goals, your schedule, and what's getting in the way. If coaching is a fit, I'll explain how it works. If it isn't, I'll tell you.
Start where you are.
You don't need to get in shape first. You need a plan that meets you here.
- Book a 30-minute strategy call. Pick a time that works in your time zone.
- Answer a few quick questions. Your goals, your schedule, and your history, so our time goes further.
- Get a clear next step. If coaching is a fit, you'll leave knowing exactly how we'd start. If it isn't, I'll tell you.
