During my time at NC State with Chris as a supervisor, I was able to further my knowledge of Strength and Conditioning. Chris never let any aspect of training go without notice and made sure all of his athletes as well as colleagues understood what they were doing and why they were doing it. This is the characteristic of Chris that I respect the most. I always understood the logic behind all programs and what each program was attempting to accomplish. The dedication that Chris exhibited with his athletes and his continued desire to better himself should be emulated by all professionals in this field. Chris truly strived to be the best in every aspect of Strength and Conditioning.
