Warrior of the Kingdom

LT Barry Despot, U.S. Navy, USA Boxing Coach, Master of Exercise Science

I am writing to provide my strongest possible recommendation for Dr. Lisa Petronis in support of her Performance Coach endeavors. 

Lisa and I began our boxing journey approximately ten years ago and have been training at San Diego Combat Academy in Spring Valley, Ca.  Coaching and training alongside Lisa is an absolute pleasure! She is dedicated to being in optimal physical condition all year long and a very quick learner to the highly demanding technicalities of boxing. 

As someone who progressed from the ranks of E-1 to E-7, then commissioned as a Naval Officer, and now still serving within the Naval Special Operations community, I can attest that Dr. Petronis has all the right characteristics to be a performance coach. Her background is in Psychology combined with her advanced knowledge of physical fitness leads to a winning formula for training others. Simply put, you cannot lose by hiring her to optimize your fullest human performance!!!

Should you require any additional information, I am available at 619-816-7157 or barry.a.despot.mil@us.navy.mil

Respectfully,
Barry Despot
LT USN

She loves the costly freedom in Dostoevsky and the steadfast hope in Tolkien—stories that teach courage, mercy, and the long obedience of love.
