I love education. I love coaching. And I love sport.

I have a Master’s in Kinesiology from UBC, a Bachelor of Arts in Criminology from SFU, and a diploma in massage therapy from the Ontario College of Health and Technology. Currently, I am working towards becoming licensed in Neurofunctional Acupuncture at McMaster University. I am a sessional instructor for the UBC School of Kinesiology, and have delivered lectures, labs and coaching services at other post-secondary institutions including Capilano University, Langara College, and Douglas College.

Over the course of my career, I have worked with thousands of athletes across the youth, high school, collegiate, provincial, national, and professional levels. Presently, I am the Head Strength & Conditioning Coach at Thompson Rivers University in Kamloops, BC.  I am also a strength coach with Canada Basketball’s National Training Centre. Prior to this, I spent four seasons as a strength coach and manual therapist in the CFL with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats and BC Lions. I have also held strength and conditioning positions at other great organizations including the University of Washington, Simon Fraser University, Humber College, and the Basketball BC Provincial Team.

Personally, I’m a hooper and competitive Olympic weightlifter. A lifetime on the basketball court learning from Canadian National Team members instilled a passion and obsession with bettering myself and others around me. Now, I use their lessons along with a barbell, weights, and great training environments to meditate, reflect, and fuel my competitive drive. In my spare time, I like to use my creativity to benefit the community. Check out my Zhouyong Weightlifitng Project, a streetwear-inspired apparel collection with some personal and philanthropic roots.

What I love about every coaching opportunity, clinical case study, or educational environment is the development of body and mind. I love how they help develop identity, character, autonomy, and leadership. And I love their immense power to transcend societal barriers and foster meaningful relationships with like-minded people through the embracement of adversity, self-cultivation, and personal growth.

If these values resonate, it would be my pleasure to work together.
