MORE ABOUT DREW UY →

To THRASH is to move freely and wildly, not through recklessness, but because you have developed the capacity to do so. Growing up, I learned this firsthand. Whether it was in punk rock basement shows, on football fields, or under a barbell, I discovered the importance of pursuing the things that make you unapologetically yourself and embracing the relentless pursuit of improvement.

Today, Thrash Training exists to help people build the strength, speed, resilience, and confidence necessary to meet the demands of sport and life. Whether working with youth athletes, collegiate competitors, or everyday individuals looking to become more capable, the mission remains the same: Lower the Barrier of Entry, Do the Thing. Meet every person exactly where they're at and drive the needle of performance forward.

I began coaching because of the coaches who helped shape my own athletic journey, providing me the tools to compete in collegiate football and qualify for USA Weightlifting University Nationals. Through those experiences, I developed an understanding that great coaching extends far beyond repetitions and programs — it is the structure, direction, and belief in what is possible that coaching provides.

EXPERIENCE

From 2021–2023, I served as Director of Football Performance at Skyline High School (Sammamish, WA) while also coaching throws and defensive line. During that time, I simultaneously worked as a Strength & Conditioning Coach at Tahoma High School (Maple Valley, WA) with the football and lacrosse programs. At the collegiate level, I spent the 2023–2024 season interning with Washington State Football before transitioning into Washington State Olympic Sports from 2024–2026, working with Track & Field (throws, sprints, and jumps), Baseball, and Women's Soccer — assisting with late-stage ACL return-to-play, load monitoring through Catapult GPS and VALD tools, and in-season performance maintenance.

Washington State University WSOC

Going through ACL recovery it was nice to work with someone who understood the process and the effort it took to rehab. You always brought a lot of energy and pushed me to be the stronger version of myself. I appreciated your attention to detail into every session, pushing me to get deeper on every squat, even when I didn't think I could. A big reason I was able to get back to competing at a high level was because of the optimistic mindset you brought to each workout last fall. Your genuine care and belief in me as an athlete made the process 10x more enjoyable and rewarding. Anyone training with you is going to get someone who's knowledgeable, motivating, and invested in their success.

Coach Uy not only has an amazing skill set in coaching strength and conditioning, he has an unmatched energy that completely transformed me and countless high school teammates mentally and physically in the weight room.

Working with Uy helped me through ACL rehab and getting back to playing with strength and confidence as an athlete. He knows how to push people to be their best while still making them feel supported and believed in. Even on hard days, he always found a way to motivate me and keep me focused on my goals. He genuinely cared about helping me improve, not just physically, but mentally as well. Their knowledge, motivation, and ability to push you while still making you feel supported is something that I appreciated. It is obvious that he is dedicated and loves what he does so that makes him as a strength coach stand out. Any athlete or individual who has the opportunity to work with Uy is in incredibly good hands.

Coach Uy is a driven and experienced strength and conditioning coach. I hired Coach Uy to be the head strength and conditioning coach for my high school team and he exceeded my expectations. Coach Uy can manage large groups of athletes while keeping them on an intentional program, all while fostering an energetic and competitive atmosphere. As a coach, I was pleased with the improved physical abilities of my team and was impressed by improved culture of the team that was built in the weight room with Coach Uy. I highly recommend Coach Uy for anybody looking to improve their physical performance or for any coaches looking to improve their team's culture and performance.

Coach Uy is an absolute beast. Got to know Coach through taking classes with him and through the gym as he was one of my trainers. In the classroom this guy went above and beyond and really had a good understanding of how the body adapts to loads and how to create adaptations through various movements. In the gym he took to a whole other level which is what you need as a strength coach. He knows what he is talking about and can teach it well with proper demonstration of the lifts, knows how to push an athlete the correct way to maximize there performance in to gym to then get the best results on the field. Overall this guy is legit!

As a practitioner, Coach Uy is constantly learning and researching new methods to help improve his clients well-being. One of the many areas we collaborated on was in sport science. His understanding of objective data measurements helps guide his decision making process when it comes to training each individual and achieving their goals. Furthermore, he is one of the easiest people to talk to leading to a great ability to explain chosen KPI's and reasonings behind his decisions to achieve optimal performance. Coach Uy may be one of the most passionate and dedicated coaches you may meet. Fantastic human and friend.
