It’s a pleasure to meet you all. My name is Sam, and I’m a high performance strength and conditioning coach. I own a training facility in Ottawa, called Adaptive State Performance. I’m very excited to begin working with you all this year to further your athletic development, and improve your sports performance.

I’ve been working with athletes of all sports, levels, and ages, ranging from amateur to professional, as well as the general public for several years in Ottawa. Some highlights of my career include working with the NHL’s Ottawa Senators and several other professional hockey players; coaching members of Gymnastic Canada’s rhythmic gymnastic team; training international hockey players at the Canadian International Hockey Academy; and working with several of Ottawa’s top sports organizations in softball, volleyball, and hockey. I’ve been fortunate to collaborate with leading professionals in the field of strength and conditioning since the internship stage of my university degree. I’ve also worked alongside health care specialists in one of Ottawa’s premier sports medicine clinics; including physiotherapists, sports medicine doctors, athletic therapists, and massage therapists.

My university education and professional certifications include:

• BSc. HK – Bachelor of Science with Specialization in Human Kinetics – University of Ottawa
• CSCS – Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist – National Strength and Conditioning Association
(NSCA)
• PN1-NC – Precision Nutrition Level 1 – Certificate in Exercise Nutrition
• Standard First Aid CPR-C & AED Certified

Looking forward to meeting you all,
