Coach Greg approaches sports performance with an emphasis on movement mechanics before load intensity. Rather than running generic conditioning drills, he identifies movement limitations, assesses landing mechanics, and guides athletes through progressive neuromuscular drills that transfer to real game situations.
His background includes working with athletes of all ages—from elementary school beginners in the DEVO program to high school varsity starters and competitive sports club rosters across Mooresville, Davidson, Cornelius, and Lake Norman.
ISSA Certified Personal Trainer (CPT): Comprehensive education in biomechanics, movement screening, program periodization, and recovery.
Strength & Conditioning Specialization: Advanced protocols for power production, speed mechanics, and athlete durability.
Collegiate Athlete Background: Two-sport collegiate competitor with direct experience balancing in-season practice, travel, and recovery.
SPECIALTIES
Acceleration angles, deceleration force absorption, multi-directional cutting, and linear sprint mechanics.
Age-appropriate coordination, landing balance, bodyweight control, and fundamental motor skills in DEVO.
Compound lifting patterns, trap bar deadlifts, core bracing, and joint resilience for sports injury prevention.
Varsity athletic preparation, in-season fatigue management, and off-season strength periodization.
