Most recently, Cat became certified in Resistance Flexibility and Strength Training, a modality created by Bob Cooley, author of The Genius of Flexibility. Cat is among a small handful of trainers within his organization trained hands on by the founder himself. In practicing RFST, he has been able to train numerous Olympic athletes, from various countries, in preparation for trials and competition, as well as professional athletes on the competition circuit.

Among them are Michael Gebhardt - 5 time Olympian and 2 time medal winner, Cat Garceaux - Canadian Gold Medal winner, and Sofia Bekatorou - Greek Women’s Sailing Gold Medal winner just this year. The list goes on to include professional tennis players, skateboarders, snowboarders, golfers, martial artists, and windsurfers from around the world.

Cat has participated in several Olympic training camps and trials, assisting Olympic hopefuls with this new training methodology, including trials in California and an Olympian Training Camp in Costa Rica. Mr. Cooley himself has entrusted his personal training to Cat’s capable hands, selecting him as his RFST Facilitator when he is in the Miami area.

Cat will be attending the 2008 Beijing Olympics this August to assist in the continued training of his competing athletes.
