What is Kūlia Performance about?
-
Kūlia means to strive, persevere, and aspire to do your best, and this is what we represent through coaching, not just with athletics but as a human. Running and training should be personal, as should your training plan! At Kūlia Performance, we work with athletes of all skill levels to develop a specific training plan that adapts and changes over time just as out athletes do. Life is messy, and our training needs to be adaptable. Having a coach that can work with you to change training when needed helps you run and lift with less injury, missed days, and overall stress. We get that not every day is highly motivated, but consistency over time is key!

Coach Becca has 20 years of coaching experience that started with gymnastics coaching. Get to know me!
I grew up as a competitive gymnast, talented but injury-prone, that caused me to find physical therapy that eventually became my career path. After 15 years of gymnastics, I became a varsity cheerleader at the University of Miami. After completing 4 years, I graduated with a degree in exercise physiology specializing in sports medicine, a natural progression to getting my Doctorate of Physical Therapy (DPT) also from the U.
While in PT school, I finally found running, a natural pivot after years of competitive sport, I found a new sport to dive into! It was difficult being a beginner all over again, but finding running as an adult gives me perspective for all the fellow adult runners!
I spent the early years of my running journey with recurring injuries, obsession over creating the perfect conditions for my training (in an unproductive way), and questioning why I kept getting hurt. I dove into the science behind running gait analysis, programming, overuse injuries, and the mental side of training to get myself into a healthier place with running. That included prioritizing strength training, sleep, nutrition, and health. This is where I found my love for Olympic weightlifting. Finally! I had balance.
Then I was blindsided by a chronic illness, but with my renewed outlook and understanding of training, I was able to navigate my health setbacks and continue to train hard, chase my goals, and give myself grace along the way.
Now when my athlete is spread thin, we choose you as a human over hitting the right pace or weight in a workout. What is going to help you get to your finish line healthier and happier?
Let’s make sure we are in the right mindset, recovering as hard as we are training, and staying well rounded. If training gets taken away, what do we have left? If we cant answer that question right now, let’s dive in and figure that out.
