“Do The Damn Thing”

I like working with Coach Damien and The Shift Method because I never feel miserable and I’m always working hard. You’re never thinking to yourself “this is the worst day of my life” , instead I come out saying “that workout was hard, but I got through it”. Damien is always reminding me that I can get through it which is awesome.

Damien holds me accountable by making sure I finish each and every work out, now matter how hard it is. You even follow up with me on days that we aren’t even working together which is awesome! I also got this amazing shirt from him!

Working with Coach D was an amazing experience for me. Every programming block was detailed, evidence-based & sport specific. His guidance led to increased performance & personal bests in key areas for me, especially coming back from injury. I was amazed to see how focusing on the little details led to major improvements in my game. Damien is a trustworthy coach that cares & will push you to be better! He values the fundamentals & will adjust as needed.
