Derek Woodske - Defier of the Hometown Mentality The Essential 11

    • Entrepreneurship

The hometown mentality. It can either hold you back and keep you within the range of all you've ever known, or you can take a look around and decide you're meant for more. The latter is the case for today's guest, Derek Woodske. Derek has overcome tremendous challenges, injuries, and treacherous travels throughout his life. Today, he shares with the young men of Apogee his story and the importance of living life without regrets.

DEREK WOODSKE

Derek is considered to be one of the premier lecturers on the topic of strength and conditioning and exercise sports performance currently working today. In the past eight years, Derek has spoken in more than a dozen countries and has influenced thousands of coaches and personal trainers around the world.

Derek began his journey and passion into the world of human performance through his own athletic success as an NCAA All-American and National Champion in the sport of track and field. He went on to represent his home country of Canada on two separate occasions as a member of the Canadian National Team, breaking two Canadian National Records and winning multiple National Championships in the process. Derek also worked in both the NFL and NCAA as a professional coach.

Since then, Derek has taken his experience as a professional coach and blended it with his educational background as both an interpersonal communications expert and therapist to create a holistic approach to teaching and understanding the complexities of not only performing human movement but also teaching it to others.
