Congratulations Coach Steven!

…or as we must call him now, “Doctor Coach Steven, PhD.”

If you weren’t able to attend Steven’s PhD exit talk on Monday and want to watch the archived video you can check it out by clicking here — given how nerdy (and I mean that as a compliment) and awesome this group is I’d imagine many of you would find it just as cool as we did.

He does an amazing job explaining something extraordinarily complex in an approachable, interesting, and entertaining way. And his sense of humor shines through just as it does every day at Arena Ready (the AR community even got a super rad shout out in his presentation which made more than a few of us teary eyed).

Bravo, Steven, and congratulations on your incredible achievements! We are all lucky to know you, to train alongside you, and to be coached by you.
