Today we’re joined by Thomas Mauriello, a power-lifting athlete and coach who has a broken back to thank for his success. Founder and head coach of Frontier Performance, Tom helps athletes unlock their full potential with structured training and nutrition.
Tune into today’s episode for Tom’s eureka moment when he realized his passion for sports performance and his journey getting to where he is today.
More about Tom: After breaking his back in 2012, Tom lost his ability to do what he loves: train hard and play sports. The rabbit hole of dealing with complacent doctors left him hopeless. His refusal to accept this as an answer led him to a sports medicine doctor that changed everything. After extensive rehab, Tom was able to return to what he loved, now with a newfound appreciation for health and wellness. This passion is the reason for Frontier Performance. His coaching business allows him to teach athletes their ultimate potential, both inside and outside of the weight room.

Tune in for his take on the power of owning who you truly are and how to step into it with confidence. Hint: it has to do with letting go of comparison.

As the years have gone by, Andrew has realized the extreme responsibility he has in the lives of the individuals that he works with. He’s not a personal trainer, he’s much more than that…He’s preventive health care.

A lifelong learner, Andrew has made the commitment to himself to seek out and learn from some of the greatest minds in the industry in his continuous pursuit of knowledge.
