Maurice S.

Hi, my name is Maurice D. Stringfellow I am looking to expand my network of clients throughout the Greater Houston Area. Growth is always sought after. I am currently certified as a Personal Trainer - with the American Fitness Institute, (Please Read Certifications Listed in the Last Paragraph). I have worked with all age groups and several different types of athletes. I love developing athletes through , sports, athletic, fitness and nutrition programs. I am part of the exploratory ownership group for the company Coaches Access Overflow Sports Development & Business Networking Firm, Inc. The approach my partners and I have taken is to train the underdeveloped, newly introduced to sports/athletics and overflow athletes on team, and train them in a one on one setting or in a group. My partners and I see that there is a need to develop these type of athletes so this is not only our niche into the athletic market this will be our staple as we move forward in the fitness and sports industry. I have been told I have the “IT” factor for coaching and training athletes at different levels, which helps my confidence level when I am training clients. I don't only train, I teach. Once you sign on with me, I commit myself to helping you achieve your fitness goals, adjust to a healthier lifestyle and maintain your fitness level. Being healthy and living a healthy lifestyle are contrasting principles. Together we are striving for success, and lasting results. I build the fitness program for you, but together we put in the effort to get the results. Working together, results are undeniable and very obtainable. I The first session I will need to gain insight on my client's daily physical activity level and health. I will gather subjective information about their personal history including occupation, lifestyle and medical background. They will fill out a physical activity readiness questionnaire. I will also gather objective information by way of assessments such as body composition, heart rate, static posture assessment and movement assessments. Once all of this is in order and I have this vital information, I will design a program individualized for that specific client and we will begin training. A typical training session would include a warm up period (Static/active-isolated or dynamic stretching; depending on your training level), a training period (working on short-term goals to accomplish long-terms goals) and a cool down period (self-myofascial rolling and static stretching). I decided to give back to the community by coaching and mentoring athletes with an emphasis in Track & Field. From 2001-2012 I aligned myself with local sport teams in the Houston & Chicago Areas, specifically training young athlete in various sports ranging from the youth (12-14), intermediate (15-16), & senior (17-19). My coaching philosophy aligned well with, local athletic teams. I believe that the development of the young athletes can lead to them being future leaders. During my Professional Track & Field career I learned to explore different athletic training paths to make me better. Now that I am a full time private coach/trainer, I want to pass that knowledge on to others wanting to pursue their own athletic prowess & endeavors. My coaching style is to implement a can do spirit in the athletes I coach and train. I am a hands on coach with a very keen eye for detail. I have coached and trained many elite, developmental, and Jr Olympic athletes in the Houston & Chicago areas over the last 16 years. My coaching goals for the athletes I train is we strive for perfection together. This mechanism sets the stage for the athletes to gain knowledge as they infuse practical & technical know-how into the sports or athletic competitions they compete in. I have an open dialogue for the athletes I train so we can speak openly in our training sessions.

What to Expect

Plain instruction with demonstration, Plyometric stretching, targeting specific areas of concern, i.e. abs. concentrating on what athletes strengths are and make sure those strengths have continued growth, development & maintenance. With the athletes weakness I am looking for improvements in the development of the area, as it relates to the athletics area performance. My formula of success is performance based which are measured in small goals that myself and the athlete set. Session Plan I start my session with 3/4 speed warm up laps (2), to get the heart rate up, followed by a dynamic stretching routine with emphasis of the quads, hams, adductors, abductors, and IT band and flexors. Then we do a series of field and technique drills. I have a conversation with my athletes this is where I get their attention pertaining to the workout. We execute the workout plan for that day, followed by a barefoot walk, ab work and some technique work i.e. arm drives. We have a mini conversation about that life in general, or a fir bit about eating, hydration etc., then we wrap it up for the day. I never leave without saying good bye to each athlete by name that's present.
