“I cannot recommend Ava enough! Ava was my strength coach in college. Ava is passionate in training the whole athlete. Not only did she coach us in the weight room and on the field, but she also stressed the importance of nutrition, hydration, recovery, and mental health. She truly wanted to see every single one of us succeed, and that was evident with all the time she put into us. Ava always explained the reason why we did certain exercises and drills - everything we did was done with a purpose. I developed the most trust and respect for Ava after training for an entire spring semester with her. I saw incredible results in my strength, form, endurance, and speed at the end of the season - I was astonished. Since then, I have never hesitated to ask Ava for help on or off the field. Even now as a retired athlete I still go to Ava for questions, because I know she is genuine and educated in her field. It’s special when you see someone doing what they are so passionate about!”
