While John believes in systematic approaches to training, he understands that athletes are unique and constantly changing, and that no single coaching method is universal. He feels that a quality performance team must remain versatile, monitoring trends, technology, research, and most importantly, the athlete’s response. “Training methods should reflect the athlete, not the coach.”

To maintain quality growth and awareness, John believes in contributing back to the field of sport science through research, publishing, and teaching. In addition to the mentioned graduate work, John follows three passions.

• Periodization theory in endurance physiology
• Testing analysis, interpretation, and application
• Competition performance planning and management

John owns ATHLÎT PEAK PERFORMANCE, an athletic consulting and planning company. The company, based on the theory “Performance Enhancement through Science and Planning”, not only focuses on planning, consulting, and training, but also provides information and research services.
