Brian Grant

Coach

I grew up in Buffalo, New York, where I began playing hockey at age five. My athletic journey took me across the country as I competed in junior hockey from ages 16 to 20, eventually leading me back to New York to earn a degree in Exercise Science from SUNY Fredonia.

During my final semester, I began coaching at a sports performance facility in Buffalo, where I worked alongside experienced professionals and took the first steps in developing my own career as a performance coach. I quickly applied my academic background in strength and conditioning to help athletes across various sports and competitive levels improve physical capacity and translate training into on-field results through structured, sport-specific programs.

Now a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS), I specialize in strength training and biomechanics for both competitive athletes and active adults. My coaching philosophy is grounded in intentional program design, emphasizing detail and progression to produce measurable results. I take pride in helping individuals identify the strategies best suited to their goals and guiding them through a clear path toward progress.

I’m currently pursuing a master’s degree in Sports Performance to further advance my expertise. 

 

Core Values: Commitment: to be an individual that others can rely on. Improvement: to be a better version of myself today than I was yesterday. Gratitude: to be grateful for the life I have and the people I’m surrounded with.

“The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding”

Many athletes and active individuals are unsure of what training strategies are best suited for their goals. I enjoy helping them achieve those goals with well thought out, intentional program design through a clear path of progression.

I specialize in strength / conditioning and biomechanics for enhancing sports performance in competitive athletes and active adults. My wide skill set allows me to confidently work with individuals of all sports and experience levels.

As part of the team at Change the Game PT and Performance, I’m proud to contribute to a mission-driven, collaborative environment focused on helping others feel and perform at their best.
