"Deciding to work with Sam has been one of the best decisions I’ve made around my volleyball career. He combines his throughout volleyball background, deep knowledge about physiotherapy, and expertise in strength training to design high quality programs that truly bring his athletes to the next level.
His attention to detail and custom individual approach sets him apart from the rest, and I’m really grateful to work with him.Since starting with his program 6 months ago, I feel much more stable, agile, and powerful on the court, and the difference his program has made on my play is huge– my vertical has improved by almost 4 inches, and my shoulder never feels overused after a heavy week of hitting. I appreciate that Sam’s program focuses on long-term health and building a strong athlete from the base, which ensures success in the long run.
As someone who has been in the shoes of a club, university, and professional athlete, Sam knows the ins and outs of developing into a high-level volleyball player and gives great advice on not only strength training, but also general volleyball stuff, whether it be nutrition, technique, or the mental aspect of the game. He is very responsive, supportive, and always checks in with me to see how I’m doing with the program and with my volleyball load that week.
Without hesitation I would recommend Sam’s personalized training program to any volleyball player who not only wants to hit harder and jump higher, but also see consistent, sustainable improvement across all aspects of their game and athleticism."

"Prior to working with Sam, I had been unable to find a comprehensive training program that was tailored to beach volleyball and addressed the nagging knee and shoulder issues I had been struggling with. Coming off the U21 world champs, I was looking to make a change in my training and take my physical game to the next level. I reached out to Sam and he was able to provide everything I was looking for and more. He carefully built out each phase to match my monthly goals, tournament schedule, and practice load. His PT background and certifications aided in designing the phases to help mitigate and decrease my knee and shoulder pain. Above all, he was always one text away with any questions about the program. In the nine months of working with Sam I have increased my vertical, increased upper body strength and power, increased my lateral speed, improved my conditioning, decreased knee and shoulder pain, and continue to improve in all these areas. If you are a volleyball athlete who is serious about getting to the next level physically, training with Sam is the way to go."

"Anyone who considers themselves a high level beach volleyball player can benefit from working with Sam. Many of us balance working hours with offseason fitness goals, and many of us have a fair bit of lifting experience, but maybe aren't experts, or have been working on the same exercises for a relatively extended period of time. Sam brings an extreme amount of fitness programming knowledge as well as a strong physiotherapy background coupled with a strong desire to see his clients succeed.
Sam reviewed my previous lifting experience as well as where I had previously focused, my lifting programs, my previous injuries (ankle ligament repair and lingering ROM issues), and existing aches/pains/shortcomings (shoulder ROM/pain) as well as goals for the upcoming season. Combining lower body strength work, power work, core work, upper body strength work, Rehab/Prehab, and any other areas of focus into not only a concise workout plan, but also at an appropriate dosage can feel impossible (it certainly did for me). Sam brought all of this together for me (typical workouts for me are around 1.5 hours).
Sam also does a great job being extremely accessible as well as constantly evaluating ways for improvement from training block to training block. He also provides great form feedback. For me, he's been a game changer. He's improved my ankle ROM and shoulder ROM/stability, as well as finding areas where I can significantly improve and see meaningful results."

"I have been working with Sam for about a year now. I am 47 years old and have worked out consistently since I was a teenager. I have done many different kinds of workouts over the years. Because of this I started out strong in the gym lifts but had nagging injuries and always felt like I was more tired than I should be in the sand and sorer than I should have been days after I played. The first thing I noticed was how good I started to feel: shoulder stronger, knees pain free, and stamina throughout a match improved. Next my body recomped I became leaner and more muscular. My overall endurance improved. Now one year later I jump higher hit harder and can handle more volleyball volume than I ever before without nagging overuse injuries popping up. I could not be happier"
