I’ve been working with TSG Coach Alfred Jong for over three years now. In that time, he has coached me through several local, provincial, national, and international meets and developed me into an elite Team Canada athlete. Thanks to his programming and coaching, I’m lifting weights I never dreamed possible and most recently won the 57kg Canadian Open National Championship (a huge goal of mine I thought would take many more years to accomplish.)
Coach Alfred goes above and beyond for his athletes, and the professionalism and dedication he puts towards ensuring your success is next to none. Despite having dozens of athletes, he makes you feel like you are the only one. Alfred “gets it,” listens, and has a unique awareness to every athlete’s needs, while also pushing you to reach your full potential and be the best you can be. Beyond the barbell, I am grateful to call Alfred a dear friend and mentor.
As an athlete within the TSG community, I’ve gained a network of athletes and other coaches that are now colleagues and dear friends, resources, learning and development, supports, and opportunities. The group has provided me a space to grow within powerlifting and sport that is truly unique. I don’t believe another group in the world compares to the global TSG community and the benefits provided under the Team.
