THE
PRIMA APPRENTICE COACHING
PROJECT

PRIMA is dedicated to helping create the next generation of women's fitness and sports performance, and a big part of this is developing the next generation of coaches! We are so excited to introduce and tell you more about our Apprentice Coaching Project and our first-ever cohort of apprentice coaches.

​

Learn more about our 2026 Apprentice Coaches, Kris Josef and Mallory Branca! 

​​

​Our coaching project builds on evidence-based coaching practices, drawing on insights from general fitness and sports performance as well as sport-specific coaching. In keeping with our approach, we incorporate women's lived experiences as we develop coaches, as per our original PRIMA Coaching Curriculum and our own research. 

 

Our first women's boxing coaches certify as USA Boxing coaches (Green-level minimum) and complete certification in our PRIMA Coaching Curriculum. They are skilled in sport-specific practices including technical boxing fundamentals, mitts, fight strategy, and more. 

​

Our apprentice coaches shadow and then teach classes ~ each coach brings their own style, dedication, and care to the studio. Meet our apprentice coaches and take a class soon!  Be part of creating the next generation of women-focused coaching!

APPRENTICE COACHES are selected through an application process. If you would like to be considered, and to learn more about qualifications, please email info@abbyathletics.com.
