You can count on my team and me to do the research and provide great advice for your recovery needs, to help you have a better quality of life and be a healthier happier athlete. If I can’t help you, I have a great network of professionals who love helping people. I believe recovery is one of the most underutilized tools of many athletes. Our philosophy at Athlete Recovery Room is to address recovery proactively before you experience any issues or pain.
My passion for endurance running started over 10 years ago while running with MarathonFest, a half and marathon training program organized by Track Shack (Orlando’s best running store and resource). I am a Certified Road Runners Club of America Coach, for over 9 years. Precision Nutrition (Pn) certified nutrition coach. I also have a Certification in Stretching and Flexibility with Advanced Application of Assisted Stretching Techniques. In my running career, I’ve run 51 marathons, including a double marathon (Saturday and Sunday). So I know a lot about recovery and its importance. I’m a UCF graduate. Go, Knights!! My team and I look forward to helping you with your recovery needs.
