sports training

Athletic strength is more than just a barbell, how fast you can run a 40 or how high you can jump. All these skills, on one level or another, need to be applied. Most importantly: An injured athlete is not a playing athlete and the goal is always to be able to play and play at your best level.

I have extensive experience and unmatched success in assisting athletes navigate the pits and valleys of training and am dedicated to remaining vigilant in teaching athletes to avoid mistakes, lessen risks and, ultimately, how to lead a more mature, productive and fulfilling athletic experience.

I employ a long term athletic development model that helps address the need for specificity in the immediate all the while pursuing my client's most evolved and improved version. I build from the ground up, starting with the foundation of base movements. Not only does that technique tell me (and with great transparency) exactly how my clients move and where they do and will encounter problems, it provides me with the information needed to immediately train my clients without movements which may result in repetitive stress or high specificity strain.

As an athlete progresses, they continue to benefit from the transfer of training; that phenomenon is accomplished by focusing on using different types of strength and building athletic movement skills. This gives them a larger library of skills to take to sports practice and put into their technical skills.

It all starts with the initial evaluation session. After that, my client and I together pair the findings of my evaluation with a custom training program designed around my client's needs in his or her capacity as an athlete.

What People Are Saying

 

“The last week I wake up and every part of my body feels loose, free, things crack and pop and nothing is sticking. All my muscles are sore in a good way from my 6 days a week workouts and I feel stronger, taller and more relaxed than I have since I was 25. 

This is all because of you. 

Thank you! I am a lifelong client.”

“I call Don “A Miracle Worker,” for the incredible way he has helped myself and many of my clients heal and recover from numerous chronic injuries and pain. I have worked with Don since I was 16 years old (over 14 years) and he was even the inspiration for me to start my own fitness business. His extensive background and understanding of the human body is unlike anyone I have ever met. Having Don in my life gives me the peace of mind that no matter what discomfort I encounter in my physical body I can find an answer to that problem.”

“For years I've been dealing with seemingly unresolvable stomach/digestion problems. After numerous doctor visits, I was left uncured and without answers. As a Division 1 collegiate track athlete, these issues were increasingly beginning to impact my athletic performance. After one visit with Donnie, I felt a WORLD'S difference. My stomach didn't twist after every meal, my body started recovering much more quickly after workouts, and my athletic performance began to sky rocket. I've never felt better, Don is the best!”
