Build Your Performance Habits
Helping youth & teen athletes build stronger bodies, better habits, and more consistent performance.
AJ Core Performance trains athletes through core strength, movement development, and simple performance habits that carry over into how they show up in sport.
Athletes need structure and consistency. They need to know how to move well and repeat it over time.
When athletes move and train better, they become more confident and more consistent when it matters.
"My mission is to help youth athletes learn how to control their body through core strength, movement, and awareness while building sustainable habits so they perform with confidence and consistency when it matters. "
A Simple 3-Step System
Assess the Athlete
Build Strength and Habits
Perform with Confidence
We identify the physical, mental, and habit-based factors that may be limiting your athlete's growth, confidence and performance.
Athletes develop foundational skills and performance habits that support long-term success.
As healthy habits become routine and skills improve, athletes gain confidence, consistency, resilience, and the ability to perform under pressure.
The Coach Behind
AJ Core Performance
With over 17 years of coaching and performance training experience, I take a whole-athlete approach to development — helping athletes build confidence, focus, resilience, and composure through both physical and mental training.
My foundation is in core strength development, pelvic and trunk stability, movement quality, athlete habit building, and injury prevention for long-term athletic success.
Over the years, I've evolved my business into a simple, but powerful system around two pillars - Physical Body Development & Mindset Development. Athletes don't just need workouts AND they don't just need mindset work. They need both working together!
As a former athlete, I understand the pressure, self-doubt, and emotional challenges that come with competition. That experience, combined with years of coaching athletes of all ages, allows me to connect with athletes beyond the physical side of performance.
With certifications in Strength & Conditioning (CSCS-NSCA), Behavior Change (ACE), Health Coaching (ACE) , Corrective Exercise (NASM) & Core Rehabilitation (CES), I help athletes find their identity in sport while developing the physical and mental skills need to perform with confidence and consistency.
As a mom of 4 boys in the North Tampa area, I also understand the real-life demands athletes and families are navigating every day- busy schedules, pressure expectations and desire to see REAL progress without burnout.
Performance is more than physical ability. It’s mindset, habits, emotional control, and how an athlete responds when things don’t go as planned.
The goal is simple: help athletes perform with confidence in sport and carry those same skills into life.
