"I currently play High school basketball and I wanted to become stronger and develop my game so that I can play Varsity this year coming up. I feel less winded in games and I have been jumping higher since I started this Summer.

I’ve been running since middle school, and one lesson has shaped my coaching more than any certification: the biggest breakthroughs came when I stayed healthy enough to train consistently. That’s why my approach blends individualized run programming with strength, movement quality, recovery, and injury prevention. With backgrounds in both coaching and counseling, I help athletes build awareness, durability, and sustainable habits so progress can compound for years, not just one race cycle.

"Dami really helped me understand the process of becoming a better runner.
