“After hitting some success in life I had a “now what” experience, where I felt unsure of my next steps or goals. I had originally imagined finding a life Sherpa who would help me identify my next life goals. However, before even speaking with Sam, his intake form put the onus directly back on me by forcing me to articulate what I wanted to accomplish. It took about a month for me to answer your straightforward intake form, but it forced me to set my own goal, which I appreciated.

I believe the regular check-ins and monitoring have been enormously helpful to keep me on track, while also allowing me to work out on my own schedule.  Sam has been very helpful and knowledgeable on ways to get maximum results with limited time and equipment. I also appreciate the many ways Sam found to improve my life performance including better sleep, nutrition, breathing, and health monitoring.”

“I met Sam almost a year ago, at a pivotal time in my athletic career.  I had just accomplished a long-term goal of mine and, for the first time in my life, I felt aimless.  Sam offered to help me get back on track.

I think Sam sees the world a bit differently than most of us, and his perspective helped me to re-evaluate my own approach to sport.  He helped me to ask the right questions and to better understand my motivation for training.  I'm still searching for what's next, but since working with Sam, that search has become a deeper, more meaningful process than I ever could have imagined.”

“I tried to work through my own training plan. With no experience in this space, my training didn’t have any clear direction, and I found that I would hit a wall and then stop getting progressing. On top of this, I had no concept of structure, so if I missed a day or week, I was a little confused as to what the next step should be.

The two biggest breakthroughs that initially came to find our recovery and nutrition. These were areas that I had limited understanding in, and through discussions with Sam, I was able to increase why awareness in regard to their importance as well as the best way to focus on them.

My favorite thing has been how Sam provides feedback, both critical and positive. At no point did I feel as If I was being spoken down to but rather that I was being shown the correct line of thought and why I should change my habits/actions.

Sam does a great job of understanding your core reason for wanting to better yourself and focusing on this point. On top of this, I never felt that the program he was creating was a cookie-cutter program that he pulled off the shelf but rather something that he had put real time and thought into. It felt as if there was genuine care given even through the hurdles of online coaching, which was fantastic and meant that I felt as if I was being invested in.”
