As a former professional athlete, I immediately realized that there was and still is such a massive gap in personal training when so many parents at my local gym constantly asked me to train their kids. That gap is that upcoming athletes who want to excel in their sport truly have no idea if the work they are putting in is accurate or effective enough to help them succeed. The parents are more unsure than the athletes. Who else better to teach the youth than the people who perfected their craft and made it to the professional level in their sport? That's the void that I created TAP Academy to fill. Here, young athletes will get virtual training directly from the pros they aspire to perform like. People who made it to the highest level of their sport. With the highest level of confidence that what they'll be training will translate to improvement. ​Though I began the process of creating TAP Academy, I draw upon the expertise of the hundreds of professional athletes that I have played with, against, and share circles with. The world of professional athletics is much smaller than assumed so drawing upon the experience and knowledge of others has been what gave birth to TAP Academy. There is no other platform with this much professional expertise built for your consumption.So if you're a pro, come join us and staying engaged in your craft. If you're a client or a parent of a client, come work with the pros, know for certain that you'll get better. This whole platform was built for you to get better with each workout.
