“Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is a not an act, but a habit.”

-Aristotle

MISSION

Essential Strength was founded to coach the skills of athletic excellence.

My passion is to coach athletes to master the skills of their sport or lifestyle.

Mastery is the result of dedication, deliberate practice of fundamental skills, and inspiration.

As a coach I provide accountability to help you stay on your path, inspiration to drive you towards improvement, and education to get you to your goals as effectively and efficiently as possible.

VISION

My vision is to build a community of master movement practitioners who can, help, influence, and most importantly coach one another.

My program is founded on the principle that true vitality is the result of maximum efficiency.

I focus on regaining balance, both in sport and in life – the balance between work and play, tension and relaxation, stability and fluidity. We believe that every athletic performance problem (and health problem) results from a disintegration of bodily systems. Our coaching helps athletes identify the roots of their problems and teaches exercises to allow the body to correct itself.

My Program is rooted in the latest advancements in brain science. We will travel to the cutting edge of neuroscience research to bring back the secrets of motivation, motor skill acquisition, and learning retention. While this may sound very high tech, we usually teach very common drills, but with a focus and precision that makes them truly remarkable.

I invite you to take some time and browse around this site. I offer tons of free information.
