I coach, mentor and advise elite athletes and high performing professionals how to eat, train, and think smarter so they can look, feel, and perform better so they can crush their goals no matter what life throws at them!I believe in taking an integrated approach to human performance based on an integrated model of 3 key areas that clients have now coined "The ALP Method". It is this precise integration of 1) the Physiological (body), 2) the Biochemical (nutrition - ie. fuel), and 3) the Psychological (mind, emotions, and nervous system) that enables the human system to thrive providing optimal health and performance. My passion is to ensure people don't make the same mistakes I made. After all, this is what any human is general an expert at, and naturally I want to teach people what I'm an expert at. When I was an elite youth athlete - I was talented but overweight, so I tried working out and eating different. Problem was it was all WRONG! Even asked for help from personal trainers - and they were very wrong!! I ended up riddled with injuries and went from being a perennial all-star with full ride offers coming in from Division 1 US Colleges being and projected to sign an early round contract to the MLB ... to being red-shirted in my first and second year at a Canadian University. My life was crushed. Spiralled into deep depression. Felt like a victim. And was not a good person to be around. It sucked. A LOT.I became a personal trainer because I had at least learned more about training on my own to try and improve my health after being hurt so many times with terrible trainers. Maybe if I trained athletes, I could help them avoid my mistakes and increase their chances of being the best athlete they could be and get that scholarship or go pro. But I was still depressed. I would train adult clients in the morning - go home and question everything .. read and research to get better .. struggle hard and suck it up to go train more athletes at night. But then - I met my mentor, Dr. John Berardi. And the Man saved my life - more than he even knows. From guiding me to being a better Coach, to challenging my ego as I grew too quickly for my own good (no doubt from the chip on my shoulder from losing my stardom as a teen athlete), to being one of my Best Friends ... JB has had the most profound impact on my life and I'll be forever grateful for him.Now, I use my High Performance Fitness Facility - the ALP Training Institute, to teach my staff and other young Coaches my methods to scale impact far beyond what I could do alone!
