Pat Doyle 

Head Strength Coach

Love my family that allows me to spend all the time that I do with the Islander Power program and our Islander athletes. Thank you to my amazing wife Ashley, my son Jameson (4), and my daughter Hayden (1). Love training, hunting, golf, baseball, all other sports and most importantly, spending time with my family. 

My true approach to training is to come with a great attitude, effort, intent, and attention to detail. The rest will take care of itself. Love the training process, do all the little things right, and it will love you back. Be the best person you can be, work relentlessly hard, and earn everything. #ConsistencyWins
