Our Story
I grew up playing soccer and picked up my first set of weights at 10. From there, training became less of a hobby and more of an obsession — not just how to get stronger, but why structured training changes the way athletes think, compete, and carry themselves.
Over the next decade I played and coached at increasingly competitive levels, eventually helping lead Deacon Blue FC to a title. That experience taught me what separates athletes who plateau from those who keep improving: it’s not talent — it’s how they train in the off-season.
I started Grit Athletic Training in Santa Rosa to bring that same structure to youth athletes and adults in Sonoma County. Whether you’re chasing a starting spot, preparing for a season, or just want to move and feel better — I’ll meet you where you are and build a program around your actual goals.
Ten years of coaching. Sport-specific programming. Real results.

Our Philosophy
Every athlete — at every level — has more in them than they’ve tapped. My job is to help them find it.
I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all training. I believe in starting where you are, being honest about what needs work, and building from there. Whether you’re a freshman trying to make varsity, a weekend warrior, or an adult who just wants to move and feel better — the principles are the same: move well, train consistently, and trust the process.
Speed, strength, and confidence aren’t reserved for elite athletes. They’re built. And I’ll show you how.
Trainer Bio
I’m Oliver Mooyman — certified personal trainer, former competitive soccer player, and the founder of Grit Athletic Training in Santa Rosa, CA.
I’ve spent the last ten years coaching athletes at every level, from youth development programs to championship club teams. I helped lead Deacon Blue FC to a title, played over 700+ soccer games, worked with i9 Sports, and have built sport-specific training programs for football, soccer, tennis, rugby, and speed development.
My approach is straightforward: research-backed progressions, honest coaching, and programs built around your actual goals — not a template. Whether you’re 12 or 42, in-season or off-season, I’ll meet you where you are.
