If you're new here, welcome. Those slides are the short version of why I built this. I played college football. When I left the sport, I kept training but I was doing it wrong. Chasing the mirror. Doing more when things weren't working. Ended up with a broken hip, torn ligaments in both knees, and 7 hamstring pulls. That was my breaking point. Literally. I got a coach. Ditched aesthetics-first training. Built everything around strength, plyos, sprints, and speed work the way athletes actually train. That changed everything. Built to Perform exists for athletes who refuse to let leaving their sport be the reason they go soft. If you're a former athlete who lost the edge, or a current athlete spinning your wheels and hitting walls you're in the right place. Here's how this works: Free members get access to the community feed, tips, challenges, wins, and content dropped regularly. 1:1 coaching clients get full access to the training vault: custom programming, nutrition structure, and everything you need to perform at your best.

Watched the CrossFit Games this weekend and honestly I can't stop thinking about it

These athletes are a different breed. The things they can do with their bodies; the strength, the endurance, the skill it's genuinely humbling to watch. Like you forget what's possible until you see it live. But the thing that hit me hardest wasn't the performance. It was something 2026 CrossFit Games champion James Sprague said in a clip after he won. He said it's not about making every session perfect. It's just about showing up. That's it. The guy who just won the hardest fitness competition on the planet his message wasn't some crazy training secret or a complicated system. It was: show up. Consistently. Even when it's not perfect. That's something every single one of us can do. You're not training for the CrossFit Games. But the same rule applies. The clients I've seen make the most progress aren't the ones who had perfect weeks they're the ones who kept showing up on the bad ones. Bad sleep. Long day. Not feeling it. Showed up anyway. That's the rep that matters most.
