Why this work became personal
I did not grow up with every resource. I learned to build with what I had.
I was a three-sport high school athlete who went on to play college baseball. Growing up, I did not have every training tool, specialist, or advantage available. What I did have was the willingness to work, people who cared, and the need to be resourceful.
College gave me the chance to study the science behind performance—to understand what had helped me, what could have been done better, and why good training has to be more than a hard workout. I dedicated my education and early career to connecting that science to real people and real coaching.
Over the next fifteen years, the work became a system. Every athlete and adult I coached added to a clearer way of assessing needs, organizing training, and helping people build strength, speed, power, movement, and confidence with purpose.
I built CLP so the next athlete, parent, or adult would not have to piece the path together alone.
