Meet Coach Ally

Program Manager

Sport Performance Coach

Coach Ally is the Program Director at Relentless, leading the coaching staff and coordinating our internship program.

She has her BS in Human Nutrition, holds her CSCS, and is currently completing her USAW.

Ally completed her internship with Relentless in the Summer of 2022.

I grew up in Lansdale, PA, just 10 minutes from Relentless Athletics. My athletic experience began here within the North Penn School District, where I played lacrosse and softball. After trying track & field out of curiosity during my senior year of high school, I found a passion in throwing. I went on to throw at the Division 1 level for the University of Maine. I specialized in hammer throw and was a varsity captain for 3 years.

During my time at the University of Maine, I studied human nutrition while also being a competitive athlete. My experiences as both an athlete and student have heavily shaped my principles and beliefs as a strength and conditioning coach. I completed my first internship with a gym, funny enough, called Relentless Strength Training. This opportunity gave me not only a base of knowledge and a network of great coaches, but it also ignited my passion for coaching. I went on to complete two semester internships with the UMaine Sports Performance Department, where I worked with collegiate athletes daily. I saw first-hand the impact a great coach could have on athletes and was inspired to continue fighting for women in the weight room. Through this internship I was also given the opportunity to work with our mens and women’s rugby teams. Having the experience as a head strength coach for such an incredible sport was nothing short of amazing and provided me with so many learning opportunities and made me continue to strive for the best for my athletes.

At Relentless Athletics, I am excited to apply both my knowledge of human nutrition and my experience in athletics and strength & conditioning to provide our athletes with the best coaching experience possible. It is my hope that these young athletes take away from Relentless Athletics, not only how to move their bodies, but also how to fuel them and how to have confidence in everything they do.

I grew up in York, Pa. attended virginia tech for undergrad and graduated with a bachelor's degree in nutrition and exercise science. Over my time at virginia tech I worked within the sports nutrition program. I then earned my masters from lebanon valley college in sports performance. During my masters program I completed two sports performance internships, one at n2Athletex in Roanoke, Va working with high school athletes and adults. I also completed a semester internship with Duke Sports Performance working with their Olympic teams and was able to gain a foundation of knowledge of sports performance and coaching. My internship at Relentless has allowed me to continue growing my knowledge as a coach and better understand the importance of strength training for young athletes and sports as well for the prevention of injury. I’m excited to continue working and connecting with athletes and having an impact on their performance.

I’ve always been passionate about strength training and have really enjoyed learning more about the sport of weightlifting and adding it to my daily life. In my free time I enjoy being outdoors and activities like hiking and biking, as well as spending time with family and friends. I’m currently studying for the CSCS and am excited to continue developing as a sports performance coach.
