My goal was to return to playing high-level basketball in a few months. Communication lines were always open with Sean who, in addition to providing me with a personalized program, gave me valuable tips and strategies to help my ankle recover and get me back on the court.

“ I met Sean about 9 years ago when he was a student at Acadia. I had heard about Sean from others who had followed high school sports in Ottawa.
I took an interest is following Sean’s sports as well as his schooling since he showed a keen interest on weight training and rehabilitation which were two things that I care about. Over the years since Sean did well on all fronts, schooling, sports and his interest in the human body and making it healthier.
Today Sean continues to associate with key people in both the strength/condition and the rehabilitation world. The combination of the two and his deep love for sport makes him a unique individual. He has earned the respect of many individuals who have danced around in the gym for years to find a better, safer way to get bigger, faster and stronger while also dealing with broken bodies caused by others who neglected to build a bridge of trust between the client and their skills as a healthcare provider and strength/conditioning coach.
