RICHARDSON PERFORMANCE SYSTEMS

Passionate about performance. Driven for results.

As an athlete, I spent a decade chasing the highest levels of performance in Football, where I eventually became a starter in the Canadian Football League over a three-year career. With what I believed was 'potential left untapped', I left to pursue athlete development with the goal of providing every athlete the opportunities that I wish I had.

In the following decade, I built a Strength and Conditioning department to help transform the success of 300 athletes across 10 teams. This transition saw the development and growth of a staff that grew from an n=1 to three full time staff, part time staff, and a team of interns. The success of our training led to a near doubling in winning percentage across the department, numerous conference championships, and personal awards. It also led to the development of coaches and people that have gone on to thrive in the performance field and related fields.

Concurrently, I built a scaleable business to support over 100 athletes from various sports develop long term. Additionally, I worked with or consulted with the Canadian Sport Institute, teams, and organizations to help their athletes. I contributed to the development of the field by serving both the NSCA and CSCA on an advisory team or board of director level. As a passion to give back, I've developed education and content for blogs, channels, podcasts, and websites.

Recently, I transitioned to a performance manager role where I've looked to bring together siloes into teams. The result is stakeholders from strength and conditioning, nutrition, mental performance, and rehab maximizing efforts in the pursuit of optimized performance. I've learned that these areas are key ingredients for success, but require different amounts at different times.

Throughout my career, I've shown a proven track record of building a positive performance culture, achieving athletic success, developing professionals, and improving the performance of teams.
