Exos Performance- Christian Van Buren

Growing up in Louisiana, Christian found a passion for sports early on. Christian was highly motivated from a young age into a career in football following his fathers footsteps who played collegiately. Christian went on to realize his dream when we committed to Northwestern State University to play football. After his playing days at Northwestern, Christian was fortunate enough to participate in an NFL pro day. Although it wasn’t the outcome he had hoped for at the time, it was at this moment that he realized a pivot into training athletes was his path forward. On the show we discuss Christians background in sports and how he transitioned from being a player to a professional performance specialist. He emphasizes the importance of building relationships with athletes and treating them as individuals first before training. Christian also shares his goals for the future and offers advice to his younger self.
