Bio:
Colette is a lifelong coach and athlete who cherishes guiding people through the human experience using sport as the vessel. Colette started her coaching career after she was done playing collegiate and semi-professional soccer. The lessons and mindset she learned while playing at Florida State University would prove invaluable, where her experiences leading the team as captain, as well as playing in multiple NCAA final four tournaments would give birth to her excitement and passion for coaching. Besides soccer, Colette grew up competitively in running cross country and track.
While coaching collegiate soccer at UC Irvine in California, Colette found CrossFit… and the rest was history. Managing, running, and coaching at CrossFit gyms over the last eleven years while being competitive as an athlete has been amazing, but the best part has been the relationships and diversity in athletes that she has been able to coach. From postpartum moms, to individuals training for the military/police/fire, to competitive athletes, she is passionate about helping people maximize their potential by challenging and supporting both the body and the mind, bridging the gaps between mental and physical limitations.
Outside of coaching, Colette is a mother of three amazing babies Bodhi 6, Maverick Rose 4, and Bruce 3 and wife to her best friend, Patrick. Her life is engulfed with family, faith, coaching, training, and outdoor adventures, especially surfing. She currently resides in Stuart, Florida and is stoked to be a part of the Underdogs coaching staff where she programs for Underdogs Masters and works remotely with a variety of athletes.

Client Testimonial:
“I first came to Colette in the Spring of 2022 with loads of self-doubt and insecurity as an athlete. I had reached a point in my CrossFit journey where I wanted to compete at a higher level in this sport. I chose Colette because of her esteemed athletic background and involvement with NCAA athletics.
As we completed our first season together, I quickly learned that the universe granted me more than just a CrossFit coach, but a life coach and mentor.
Reflecting on my progress, I have surpassed all of my expectations this year– such as qualifying as an elite athlete for one of the largest CrossFit competitions in California, finishing 765 in the world during the quarterfinals (500+ spot jump from the year prior), and only 53 spots away from qualifying in my region for semifinals.
Overall Colette has instilled in me the belief that anything is possible with an unstoppable mindset and a relentless work ethic. If you are an athlete who has doubted your abilities and wants to break that vicious cycle. Colette is where that transformation starts."
