ABOUT
Mission Statement:
To Educate and Empower each individual, so they can impact their families and friends and create a ripple effect in their communities in regards to Fitness, Skill Development, Wellness & Facing Challenges in life.
The Breakthrough Classes are Mon-Fri and are held at the Clear Home facility in Orem, Utah.
Classes consists of a dynamic warmup to begin, focusing on movement patterns, stretches and series that prepare the athletes to train & perform.
We then get into basketball skills training. Focusing on the fundamental skills such as passing, dribbling and shooting. We also focus on concepts, situations and terminology that will help the athletes in their school or club teams.
After that, we head to the weight room/turf. I focus on foundations with the kids, balance, movement patterns, acceleration & deceleration, jumping & Landing and variations of basic exercises such as Deadlifts, Squats, pressing movements and carries.
ABOUT BREAKTHROUGH STRENGTH & CONDITIONING
Born in Hamilton, New Zealand but grew up in Melbourne, Australia. I began playing basketball at the age of six. I made my way through the ranks through my junior career and earned a spot on the Victorian team in 2002 where we won a Silver Medal at Nationals.
After a two year LDS mission, I earned an opportunity to play for the Manawatu Jets in the New Zealand Professional league.
After, a knee injury I transitioned into Performance Coaching and Personal Training. My main goal being that I wanted to educate athletes on how to use Strength and Conditioning to prolong their careers, avoid injury and be more health conscious.
I have been working with general population and athletes for over ten years now.
