Why did you become a coach?

I was never  the biggest, fastest, or strongest growing up.  I was introduced to strength training as a  high school football player but our program lacked focus, so I don't know if  I got everything out of it that I could have.   When I went to college, I got into a strength and conditioning program  that had more structure and my performance and confidence soared.  I wanted to pass that along and help future  athletes and give them what I feel that I missed growing up. After a few years working with athletes, I  noticed our adult community lacked a similar dedicated program that gave them  focus and specific programs.  Andrew  has developed a passion for helping others achieve their goals whether a  youth athlete or a busy adult.

If there was one myth about health and fitness that you can  make disappear tomorrow, what would it be and why? -

"You need to  be in shape before you join a gym" - I think this misconception holds a  lot people back. Unfortunately, so many never get started because of it.
