Attleboro Staff
Phillip Currier – Performance Coach
Plymouth State University: B.S in Exercise and Sport Physiology, CSCS, FMS
Phil has spent most of his life in northern New Hampshire and graduated from Woodsville High School. During his four years there, he was a member of the track team, where he qualified for the Wilderness Championships in the 100m & 200m dash each year.
Due to an exceptionally small school size, not many sports teams were funded at Woodsville, and Phil began teaching himself to weight train for sport and hobby where he found a passion for fitness and performance. He attended Plymouth State University, where he tutored Anatomy and Physiology I & II, Exercise Physiology, and Introduction to Psychology while working as a lifeguard and as a nationally certified pharmacy technician. Phil honed his coaching ability through 1000+ hours of internships between APT and Dartmouth College.
Phil brings an incredible work ethic to APT where he plans to continue to further his education concerning optimal sport performance. Phil is a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (NSCA), and holds a bachelor’s degree in Exercise and Sport Physiology from Plymouth State University.
