PERFORMANCE TRAINER
Wiley Counts
Wiley grew up playing a wide variety of sports, including basketball, soccer, wrestling, track, but mostly football and baseball. As a former athlete that underwent several injuries, he always struggled with not knowing the best ways to improve himself physically to reach his full athletic potential while being able to stay healthy. He joined the Quantum team because he wanted to be able to help younger athletes avoid the same problems that he had and reach their full potential as an athlete.
He earned a BS in Kinesiology from JMU.
PERFORMANCE TRAINER
Harrison Mann
As a lifelong athlete, Harrison was always involved in team sports, including baseball, basketball, and soccer. In college, he switched from team sports to MMA/kickboxing. When losing the structure of team sports, he had to supplement his sports training with personal performance training. Through this, he developed his interest in training, which eventually lead him to change his major from Biology to Exercise Science. This passion for training is what ultimately led him to Quantum Movement, to pursue a career in performance training.
He is currently finishing up a BS in Kinesiology at the University of Maryland.
