What's your business, and who are your customers?
I am a strength and movement coach that works alongside physical therapists, nutritionists, and acupuncturists to provide a comprehensive approach to optimizing health and performance.
Tell us about yourself
Throughout childhood, I was an avid athlete, playing sports year-round, and I started to play soccer competitively at age 8. I graduated in 2011 from Salisbury University with a Masters In Applied Health Physiology with a focus on Strength and Conditioning. During college, I experienced an overuse injury, which led me to switch majors that changed my entire trajectory. Ever since, I have been a student of human movement and continue to pass along those principles to our community every day. My philosophy is rooted in injury prevention and movement quality to help people function and perform optimally.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
My biggest accomplishment is being able to coach an Olympic Gold medalist and over 30 athletes to commit and compete in college athletics.
What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?
The hardest part of being a business owner is continuing to grow the business. Most of my time currently is spent on operations and coaching.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Establish a team around you that can fill your skill gaps. Know your weaknesses.
- Start with your values; everything else will fall into place. Chase Performance Training's values are based on ethics, responsibility, and teamwork.
- Take action! Figure out the actionable items you can execute right away and get started.
