25 year veteran coach, trainer, physical education teacher and motivational speaker with Positive Coaching Alliance. The priority goal to empower adolescents to become the best athletes they can be. With emphasis on self-growth and mastery, I coach and instruct with a dual goal of building the athlete and the individual as a whole; including self-mastery, overcoming self-doubt, fears, negative self talk, obstacles and physical challenges. I currently privately train my young athletes on a one to one basis and in small group. My strengths include player growth and development, especially for those that are newer to the game and learning; those searching for more reps and personally tailored training when club/ team/ center activities don't afford them that opportunity. Thriving in this helps build self-confidence, becoming and growing as a competitor with all the pressure and challenges that entails. I am very much into the physical development (strength and conditioning) of my athletes as well. I have a background in personal training and continue to work independently as a trainer and PT. This combination with my career in physical education has helped me fine tune workouts and practices that develop a well-rounded, physically conditioned athlete. As a multi-sport athlete and life-long advocate of all things health and fitness related, I believe in practicing what I preach. The greatest example to my clients is to model the traits and behaviors they can admire. To this day, I brim with energy and positivity and want to continue bringing this to the coaching position.

"Wow, Timothy's lesson really emphasizes both intensity and sensitivity to fatigue.

If you're looking for a coach who pays close attention to how your body responds during drills, Timothy is the best and certainly be the one for you.
