Liza
Coach at CrossFit Ampersand

Hi, my name is Liza. I was raised in the Carson Valley and grew up loving sports and the outdoors. I waterskied competitively until I was 16, I ski raced into college, and was an avid soccer player. Once I finished ski racing, I started coaching for the Kirkwood Ski Team and I coached 13-18 year olds for 15 years. Because of my involvement in sports, strength and endurance training was an important part of my life. After skiing, my fitness was still important and I went through phases of working out at a gym, road and mountain biking, at home workouts, and then in 2019 I found CrossFit and I was immediately hooked! Not only did I love the community atmosphere of Ampersand, but I once again found that feeling of competition that I had playing sports while growing up. I love that there are so many skills to continue to improve on and I can see my progress in benchmarks that we test. It is rewarding to coach and to help athletes reach or exceed their goals. I am excited to be a part of the Ampersand team and to help our athletes reach their fitness goals and to achieve skills they never thought possible.
