The following is a quick snapshot of our coaches background and some of the sports they may have participated in at various levels of competition.  All coaches at OTE are employeed, rather than independent, which means we all train under the same philosophies that are set for the facility. Each coach hired by OTE has undergone an internship period, during which they were introduced to our training procedures, philosophies, and strategies.  This creates a unified approach to training, but still allows coaches to utilize and incorporate their own techniques, backgrounds, and personalities into their training sessions and programs. We believe this creates and environment in which athletes and clients can thrive and reach their full potential, and BEYOND.
