Drew Uy CSCS, BS, USAW
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 repititions and programs. It is the structure, direction, and instilling a belief in what is possible that coaching provides.
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) working with 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. There, I worked with Track & Field (throws, sprints, and jumps), Baseball, and Women’s Soccer. My responsibilities included assisting with late-stage ACL return-to-play, load monitoring through Catapult GPS and VALD tools, as well as in-season performance maintenance.
