Performance Consulting
I draw upon years of accumulated wisdom in the coaching, education, and clinical spheres to help improve performance and provide results.
Hey, I’m Aaron. Athletes I coach like to call me “Chew,” or, “Chewie.”
I love education, coaching, and clinical work. But most of all, I love the power of sport. A lifelong learner, I hold a Master’s in Kinesiology (UBC), a Bachelor’s in Criminology (SFU), a diploma in massage therapy (Ontario College), and a certificate in medical acupuncture (McMaster University). I am a sessional instructor for the UBC School of Kinesiology, and have lectured services at other post-secondary institutions including Capilano University, Langara College, and Douglas College. I am a persistent pursuer of knowledge, understanding, and wisdom.
Throughout my career, I have provided leadership for thousands of athletes across all levels from grassroots to the top 1%. Most recently, I was the first full-time strength and conditioning coach in Thompson Rivers University (Kamloops) history and led the vision and design of their world class KSLF high performance training centre. Previously, I spent five seasons in professional sport with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats and BC Lions football clubs (CFL), and have worked with other winning institutions including Canada Basketball, Basketball BC, the University of Washington, Simon Fraser University, and Humber College (Toronto).
Personally, I’m a basketball player and Olympic weightlifter. A lifetime on the hardwood being mentored by Hall of Famers and Canadian National Team members instilled a passion and obsession with bettering myself and others around me. Now, I use their lessons along with a barbell and weights to meditate, reflect, and fuel my competitive fire. In my spare time, I like to create and benefit the community; check out my Zhouyong Spirit Apparel project, a streetwear-inspired apparel collection with personal and philanthropic roots.
What I love about health and performance is the intentionality behind creating harmony between body, mind, and spirit. I admire the cultivation of identity, character, and leadership. But mostly, I’m endeared by sport’s ability to transcend sociopolitical barriers and foster meaningful relationships with like-minded people through the embracement of adversity, introspection, and growth.
If these values resonate, it would be my pleasure to work together.
