I remember what it was like to train my ass off and not get stronger.

I had all the effort in the world but no guidance. I thought hard work was all that mattered.

I trained harder than anyone I knew, so I figured it was a matter of time before I was a Games athlete.

After years of staying at the same level - I started to think there must be a better way.

That experience made me obsessed with concurrent training and how to get strong.

I’ve helped a lot of athletes get out of that same place and finally get strong. Now I’m excited to share those insights with you.

Hey guys, I’m Paul.

I’m a coach and resource for CrossFit, Hybrid and Tactical athletes.

I made so many mistakes as an athlete. All effort and no guidance.

I’ve felt the frustration of injuries and lack of progress, most of which could have been avoided.

Those experiences made me dedicate my life to coaching and teaching.

Instead of frustration, I want athletes to have the satisfaction that they saw how far they could go.

I coach and create resources to help athletes do that.
