In this episode, Jake Wareing interviews Phil Reichhoff, Assistant Athletic Director and Director of Fitness and Performance at Cape Henry Collegiate.

Phil’s got an incredible story - from his days hustling as an intern in collegiate strength training to running a one-of-a-kind fitness program for students right here in Virginia Beach. He’s all about grit, resilience, and, most importantly, showing up.

Phil leads a fitness program meant to cultivate lifelong health habits in students from pre-K to 12th grade. The program combines physical training, mental resilience, and leadership education to make sure students are not only physically fit but also prepared for life's challenges.

We dove into how early fitness exposure can completely transform kids’ confidence and lives, why grit is the ultimate X-factor for success, and how Cape Henry Collegiate is setting a new standard for fitness education.

Phil also shared some personal insights from his journey that’ll inspire you to rethink your own approach to fitness, leadership, and life.
