About the founder

Hi, I’m Coach K— the founder of ATHLETEKIND Performance, and someone who’s lived and breathed sports for as long as I can remember.

I grew up playing competitive sports year-round, eventually going on to play collegiate rugby — a sport that taught me not only how to be strong and fearless, but how to lead, adapt, and most importantly: how to show up as myself. That experience shaped everything I now bring into this business — because I know what it’s like to train hard, love the game, and still feel like something’s missing.

I’ve spent years coaching and training athletes of all levels — from elementary school rookies to high school competitors aiming for college. And what I’ve seen over and over again is that our athletes don’t just need better drills or stricter discipline. They need support, mentorship, and a space where they belong. That’s why I created ATHLETEKIND Performance.

I’m here as a coach, a trainer, and a mentor — but more importantly, as someone who truly cares about the young people I work with. Every athlete is different, and I build relationships that meet them where they are. Whether they’re recovering from injury, burned out from the grind, struggling with identity, or just want to feel proud of who they are — this space is for them.
