About Larry Smith

As a performance coach, I utilize my craft as an outlet to motivate. I encourage my athletes to gain a belief in themselves, that they can reach higher levels in their performance with a little extra push and motivation.

I was brought up in Toledo, Ohio, where I developed a love for the game of basketball and a yearning to be the best version of myself. The combination of those two things has given me the opportunity to play collegiate and professional basketball while earning my Bachelors Degree in Kinesiology and certification as a strength and conditioning specialist.

It is with those qualifications and through the grace of GOD that I have found my purpose in life: to help everyone around me achieve their highest sense of self worth and belonging. In doing so, I reflect a lifestyle full of winning energy on all those I come across.

Through personal experiences, I have found prioritizing fitness and health to trigger a positive impact - not only in fitness, but in life.
