The track
Hurdles, and the habit of leading.
Twelve years in the discipline. Captain at every level. 2× NCAA All-American. Multiple records.
Hurdles taught me to repeat the same move under fatigue with something in the way. That is probably why process work made sense to me.
American Ninja Warrior
A complete 180.
I competed on American Ninja Warrior seasons 13 & 14. Track rewarded repetition. Ninja forced me to adapt.
Keeping it on-brand, NBC had me rap my Ninja Warrior rap for my pre-run intro.
I share training clips because the work between runs matters more than the highlight.
Coaching
Passing on the good, the bad and the ugly.
Three years volunteering as a USATF-certified hurdles coach.
Hurdlers are often handed the event and told to figure it out. I coached the parts I had to learn the hard way.
Every team captain role I held taught me the same thing coaching did: the performance is individual; the standard is collective.
