Not only does Schoenberg get everyone in physical shape for their sport, but he also brings energy and enthusiasm to the weight room that excites all athletes for their upcoming sport.

A big part of Schoenberg’s enthusiasm in the weight room comes from his drive to bring glory to God. Because he is such a firm believer in Christ, he pushes himself and others to work as hard as they can to not only allow each athlete to reach their personal goals, but also to better the relationship that they have with God.

Along with setting a good example for his students in their spiritual walk, Coach Schoenberg also ensures physical improvement. Strength and Conditioning is a crucial aspect of every sport, and Coach Schoenberg makes sure that every athlete will be well prepared for their season.

“For our in season athletes, we talk about ending the season stronger than when we started it. For our off-season athletes, we get to build strength with the next season in mind!” said Schoenberg.

If you have ever participated in any workouts with Coach Schoenberg, you know that he is not simply a strength coach; he truly cares about your personal well-being and the functionality of your team. The level of care in which Coach Schoenberg displays in the weight room daily is another crucial way in which he wants all of his athletes to grow.
