Exercise Science Former Tactical Strength & Conditioning Coach for the Army Husband, father, coach, and disciple of Jesus My coaching philosophy combines evidence-based endurance training, performance-based strength, and long-term durability to help runners and tactical athletes become stronger, faster, more capable, and more resilient. But physical training is only part of what I want this channel to be about. I believe Jesus calls us to something much greater than simply believing certain things about Him. He calls us to become His disciples—to learn from Him how to live, transform our hearts, love God and others, and begin living within the Kingdom of God today. Fitness and discipleship have something important in common: who we become is shaped by what we repeatedly practice. Training requires discipline, consistency, humility, patience, and perseverance. So does following Jesus. This channel explores both. We'll talk about running, strength, tactical performance, programming, recovery, nutrition, discipline, faith, the teachings of Jesus, and what it means to pursue excellence without losing sight of what matters most. Take ownership of your faith. Take ownership of your fitness. Train with Purpose. Embrace the Process. 00:00 – Introduction 02:18 – Strengthen the hamstring with this 05:24 – Strength the hips with these 10:50 – The Foot 11:42 – Conclusion
