Graduated athletes who wanted to keep training with me

Their friends / former team mates who needed something to follow that reminded them of their competitive days ( high school or college)

Then added in family members, athletes moms and just anyone who wanted quality programming but with an interactive touch.

Everyone has an athlete within… you just need to be reminded of that and how to access it. Let us help.

Thank you for everyone who pushed me to create this. I am proud of this and how many people I have been able to help from afar .

If you want to take the guess work out of your training

Get coached

Get accountability

This is for you. by @hernandezstrength

Mental Health = Physical Health

Erik Hernandez is the Associate Director of Sports Performance at UNC. He is certified in QPR and mental health first aid. He utilizes his trainings to support student athletes seamlessly in the weight room.

“We are in contact with student athletes on good days and bad. Often when there are events with trauma attached, we are the first to interface with athletes. Providing ourselves with training to be able to handle these situations with the best practice approach has been of extreme value. Several times I was able to make a small space for reflection to student athletes within our lifting sessions that provided relief and comfort. I would recommend all strength and conditioning professionals to take some time to explore continuing education directed at mental health” by @hernandezstrength

S&C CLUB🩶🥋⛓️

6 months in with my coach @hernandezstrength , and I think my biggest takeaway so far has nothing to do with the exercises. It’s been a mindset shift. I’m changing “how much better did I get today?” to: “where could this process take me over the next 2 to 4 years?” Thinking in years and not in days really drops the internal pressure I put on myself to “perform” every session. And yes we still show up with full concentration and attack but it’s also more relaxed in a way!? I love working on improving quality and a more responsive nervous system that feels safe is only going to help that. I’m genuinely excited (and have so much gratitude & respect) to keep building on the same system and with the best team in my corner for years to come.

Best lift of the year

Last one before nationals

Proud of this group and the progress we have made over the year. Progress only known if you are in it with us.

The favorite last lift is that before the NCAA tournament.

It’s the only time you can say with certainty this is the last lift of the year and feel good about it.

It just hits different and I will continue to capture these moments .

Good luck @uncwomensgolf , you all have kicked butt this year and the growth has been amazing to watch by @hernandezstrength
