Content / Learning Style

literature or completing tests and assignments. It is a real live, interactive mentorship with
immediate practical application.
From day 1 you will be applying concepts to yourself, your athletes and your business.
The content is based on theory, best practice, 20 years of coaching experience, 15 years of
business experience and 10 years of powerlifting specific experience.
