FREQUENTLY ASKED
What's your travel policy?
Travel within New Jersey is included. For out-of-state events, travel costs (flight, hotel, ground transportation) are added to the seminar fee.
Can we record the seminar?
Recording rights are negotiated per event. Some topics are available for recording, others are exclusive to attendees. We discuss this during the inquiry process.
How far in advance should we book?
4-6 weeks minimum is preferred to allow proper promotion and preparation. Popular dates fill quickly, especially weekends.
Do you teach fundamentals or advanced?
Both. Every seminar is customized to your academy's needs. We discuss your student base during the inquiry process and tailor the content accordingly.
Can you include a fitness/S&C component?
Absolutely. With 25+ years of fitness expertise (NASM-CPT, Z-Health, FMS, RKC), I can integrate sport-specific conditioning, movement screening, or neural training into any seminar.
What if we want a custom topic?
I'm open to custom topics based on your academy's specific needs. Submit an inquiry with your ideas and we'll discuss what would work best for your students.
