I ADORE training my clients, being their number 1 supporter and sharing all the knowledge to get their bodies moving and feeling how they want, however, I leave my training in the hands of my friend and incredible powerlifting coach Austin Dorotea.
.
The accountability, the unbiased guidance and the knowledge Austin shares with me, allows me to explore movement (and PR’s!) in a safe way that keeps me coming back for more. Our shared natural curiosity of the human body in movement allows us to collaborate with my training to make each week interesting.
Testimonial
When I committed to competing at Nationals. I was beyond excited to have the opportunity to compete at National Level in two separate sports and had some big goals going into training. In December of that same year those goals (and my fingers) were quite literally crushed... by about 365lbs #whoopsie 🙃✌ Fast forward to Nationals; Matt Goldsmith and Maverick Performance Solutions certainly had their work cut out for them. Sick, sleep deprived and somewhat crippled, I handed Matt a worst case scenario, which he proceeded to turn into gold.
I never truly understood the true value of a good coach and handler until then. I can honestly say I could not have done it without him. It was extremely humbling to make tactical calls, instead of pursuing the wants of my ego.
Matt has been both an incredible coach and an irreplaceable friend to me.
So in sum, Thank you Matt, for always having my back.

Making a post about how much an amazing coach Matt Goldsmith is.
He drove 8 hours to come and coach and handle JUST ME at Centrals. Arriving the night before and leaving a few hours after competition.
My appreciation for him is endless. He took a mediocre powerlifter and turned her into a confident, slightly less mediocre lifter who actually enjoys competing again let alone shows up for me in another province to deal with me 😂
I owe all of my success to him. Yes, I lift the weight but he’s the man behind the scenes doing my programming, handling, talking sense into me (sorry for not telling you that I took 190 for a spin in prep 😂). I would not be anywhere near where I am without him.
Anyways, thank you for being an amazing coach, an amazing friend and please don’t kill me in the 8 weeks to provs :) (or do I want that 400 squat)

I firmly believe that strength programming should resemble the individual differences that each case presents. It is crucial to fully examine every client and develop a comprehensive understanding of the weaknesses presented in their movement patterns for their desired goals. Key to having successful programming is not only applying understanding using scientifically proven principles but to also allow the client to have as much say as possible in the design to ensure that they are getting programming that is not only effective but enjoyable and fitting to their lifestyle.

I feel that training systems should be as dynamic as possible to allow for the assessment and application of various metrics and protocols. Throughout my career as a lifter and as a coach, as well as through my current degree I have gained an understanding of many variables that affect the training and performance of an athlete. Using these variables we will be able to implement solutions and procedures for dealing with any training complication.
