ABOUT ME : THE PRIVATE VICTORY STORY
How It Started
My journey in sports performance began long before I ever coached an athlete. Growing up, I was the kid who lived on the field, always searching for a competitive edge. My passion for sports grew at an early age.I wanted to understand why athletes moved the way they did, what made someone faster, and how explosiveness could be developed. That curiosity followed me into my years as a Division 1 athlete at Eastern Kentucky University, where I learned firsthand the impact of quality training, structure, and mentorship under my strength & conditioning coach Mark Naylor. Coach Naylor has 20 years of experience at the pro's and colligate level and his expertise molded me.
Those experiences sparked a passion that eventually grew into something much bigger: helping the next generation of athletes reach levels they never thought possible.
The Meaning Behind “Private Victory”
I founded Private Victory Sports Performance in 2020 around one core belief:
Every public win starts with a private victory.
The unseen reps.
The early mornings.
The discipline when nobody is watching.
The development phase that builds confidence before the competition ever begins.
Private Victory represents the internal battles athletes must win long before they step onto the field or court. It’s about mastering yourself, not just the sport. That mindset is at the heart of everything we do.
Why I Love Training and Developing Athletes
There is nothing more fulfilling than seeing an athlete transform not just physically, but mentally. Watching a young athlete gain confidence in their speed, strength, and movements… or seeing a high school player earn a scholarship… or preparing a professional athlete for the demands of their season… it all fuels my purpose.
I love coaching because I understand the life changing opportunities that come from proper developmental training. Every athlete that walks through my doors gets the same level of attention, detail, and belief—whether they’re 7 years old or playing at the highest professional level.
What I Specialize In
I work with athletes from youth → high school → collegiate → professional, with a focus on:
Speed Development
Agility & Change of Direction
Explosiveness & Power
Strength & Movement Foundations
My goal is to help athletes move efficiently, confidently, and purposefully so their performance can translate directly into their specific sport.
Why Tracking and Data Matter
Great training is more than just working hard. It’s about measurable progress.
At Private Victory, we track individual performance metrics such as:
Sprint times
Jump height
Acceleration splits
Agility and reaction benchmarks
Strength outputs
These numbers tell a story.
They show growth, expose weaknesses, and help us tailor the training plan to each athlete’s specific needs.
Because when you can measure performance you can improve performance!
The Private Victory Commitment
Every athlete deserves a program that develops their speed, strength, and confidence in a way that builds long-term success. Here, training is more than drills… it’s a process, a mindset, and a commitment to becoming the strongest version of yourself.
Private Victory is where athletes come to grow, to be challenged, and to prepare for the next level one measurable result at a time.
