Jordan Smitter
Hello! My Name is Jordan Smitter. I started Achieve Coaching to help any and all athletes develop into the athlete they want to be and achieve their goals. I have a bachelor’s degree from Grand Valley state University in Exercise Science with an emphasis in Corporate Wellness and Fitness. My background is rooted in swimming, running, and cycling. A passion for fitness is what drives me to continually push for great success and achievement. I have raced and swam at some of the highest levels of competition. Furthermore I have over 5 years of experience in coaching / training; and over 10 years of competition experience. My expertise, knowledge, and meticulousness will add great value to your training program. What makes me unique is that my training and knowledge about coaching / training has been directly from scientific sources. My time at GVSU was spent researching on a scientific level, rather than just experience alone. I strive to have proven scientific concepts and methods drive my approach to coaching and training. Continuing education is one of my hallmarks. Another trademark that makes me unique is I understand that people lead a busy life. Between work, family, other endeavors and countless other things, it can be hard to have a clear focus on working out. It is my prerogative to negotiate these challenges in life and help you achieve your greatest potential. To contact me, email me at coachjordan@achievecoaching.net
