Coach Richard Gallimore
Program
Coach, Athlete Development
“Tend to the field and bear good harvest” is the philosophy that best represents my baseline approach. Falling in love with the process/the work of cultivating greatness cultivates greatness.
Coach K. is a multi-sport strength & conditioning coach. He is a Calgary native with an HBSc in Sport Psychology from the University of Ottawa on scholarship to play football where he first began coaching as the team’s Strength & Conditioning Coach. This role soon grew to facilitate the majority of collegiate sports during his time completing his degree. He currently works in Calgary in Health & Wellness as an Operations Manager and Wellness Consultant; however, he still makes an effort to stay involved with sports and athletics at every opportunity. He has knowledge and experience across multiple sports including track & field events (60m, 100m, 200m, 4x100m relay, high jump, long jump, shot put, discus, and javelin). He has also trained endurance athletes for success running triathlons and decathlons.

Lifetime athlete trained under the tutelage of Mark Kilam and Raymond Perras, applying the Peak Performance Mindset in all aspects of athletic development and optimization. My background, education and experience allow me to leverage the athlete’s potential with training and mindset to propel them to new heights. My approach is athlete/team focused; “how can we get the best out of us?” Information based but that knowledge is only useful if the athlete is invested. My mantra around youth sport is to work hard and have fun.
