ABOUT ME

I was born in Romania—with a football at my feet and a point to prove.

​

From a young age, structure and discipline weren’t optional. They were expected. My parents didn’t talk about “motivation”—they showed it. Day in, day out. Organised. Focused. No shortcuts.

​

That mindset carried into football. I climbed my way up to the professional level, but every time I stepped onto the pitch, it felt like the weight of the world was on my back. High expectations. No room for error. I loved the game, but the pressure? It chipped away at me.

​

Injuries didn’t help. Three knee injuries in 2 years. Each one took a little piece of me with it. I tried to come back. I pushed. I rehabbed. I played semi-pro for a while. But eventually, my body made the decision for me. Football—the thing I built my identity around—was no longer an option.

​

So, I had to rebuild.

​

I threw myself into learning. Into science. Into understanding what made the human body perform, adapt, and recover. And as a result, I earned the top grade in the entire health and bioscience department at university after graduating from my MSc Applied Physiology—not for bragging rights, but because I was obsessed with figuring it out.

​

And I didn’t stop there.

​

I started a business. I wanted to take everything I knew—everything I had lived through—and turn it into something real for other people.

​

But building something on your own? That hits different.

​

I hit burnout more times than I can count. Physically. Mentally. Emotionally. Running a business, trying to grow, trying to lead—it broke me more than once. But each time, I came back stronger. Each time, I built better systems. I stopped winging it and started planning 3, 6, 12 months ahead.

 

That changed everything.

​

Today, I run RLC Performance—a high-level coaching business built on hard-work, structure, and results. No shortcuts. No fake hype. Just science-backed strategies that actually work.

​

Why?

​

Because I know what it feels like to lose direction. To have your identity ripped from you. To wonder if the pressure will ever let up. And I know the power of rebuilding—with purpose this time.

​

I coach with science. I lead with experience. I don’t babysit, and I don’t sell fantasy.

I give people the truth—and the tools to back it up.

​

This work matters to me because I know what it’s like to feel stuck. And I know what it takes to get out.

I’m here to guide you through that.

​

Now, I lead clients—entrepreneurs, professionals, high performers—through the process of regaining control over their health, their bodies, their outcomes.

​

Because when your body is dialed in, everything else levels up:

  • You lead better.

  • You think sharper.

  • You show up for your family.

  • You stop negotiating with yourself.

​

And when you take full ownership of how you eat, train, sleep, think—you unlock a level of freedom most people never reach.

​

This isn’t about me anymore.

​

It’s about building the kind of standard that forces people to raise theirs.

​

One habit. One system. One win at a time.
