Shane Trotter has an unquenchable passion for learning and growth that drive his constant exploration of the methods that spur optimal human development and a thriving population. He is obsessed with examining the conditions that promote fulfillment and pushing them into mainstream society, starting with youth development.

He’s learned that the foundation of personal development is nourishing the body with strong movement. Mental and physical development and achievement cannot be separated. From this understanding, he seeks to use fitness as a launching point to create inspired people and question the habitual patterns of society that promote limited living. To support these goals, he’s created a website: Inspired Human Development.

Shane holds the CSCS, RKC, and ISSA certifications. Currently, he works as a high school strength and conditioning coordinator, where he has the opportunity to work with over 500 young athletes each week. Students enjoy exaggerating and finding the humor in Coach Trotter’s insistence on perfect form and good nutritional habits. He loves athletics, competition, and having the opportunity to work with many positive, ambitious people.
