Nearly two decades spent helping athletes turn potential into performance.
After earning a Bachelor of Science in Human Kinetics from St. Francis Xavier University, Boo co-founded Athletes Nation in Edmonton and spent 15 years coaching athletes from youth development through the professional ranks.
He returned home to Nova Scotia in 2020 and built BooM Performance to give rural athletes access to professional-level coaching without having to leave their community.
Boo earned his Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist certification before advancing to the Registered Strength and Conditioning Coach designation. At the time, he was one of only five RSCC-designated coaches in Canada.
For seven years, Boo was one of only six Nike SPARQ-sponsored strength coaches in Canada.
