Strength that will apply to making KWI rock:
Rob is HIGHLY energized and extremely passionate about helping others (especially young athletes) realize and achieve their true potential. KWI seeks to help goalies grow as players, and a healthy nutrition, fitness, and mentality regimen is an integral part of that.
Something cool about me:
I have the best beard in the MASL, as stated by numerous announcers, players, and fans. One announcer even likened it to a "James Harden" beard. So that's pretty sweet. Also I was the MASL 2018 Defender of the Year.
Bio:
Rob is a professional soccer player and highly energized fitness professional. Originally from Tucson, Lakeland is the 12th city he'll call home as he continues his soccer journey and builds his name in the fitness industry. When he's not micro-managing his own exercise and nutrition regimens, he's creating IG and YouTube videos, writing workout plans for others, or out coaching the youth. Away from fitness you can find him studying scripture, meditating, reading books about entrepreneurship, hiking, camping, listening to podcasts, or watching The Office.
He is thrilled to be a part of KWI and have an opportunity to work with and influence all the keepers! He seeks to help each and every person realize and take steps toward their true full potential….in fitness, and in life!
