Connor Hanson
Connor has been coaching since 2017 and has been a sports performance coach in the Cincinnati area since May of 2020! He has had many prior stops before opening CARD Sports Performance and is grateful for each and every athlete, coach & mentor he met across the way. Without those prior interactions, Connor would not be the coach he is today, nor would he be the person he is today. Some personal details about Connor is that he is a native of Milwaukee, Wisconsin and an avid Milwaukee Bucks fan. He also enjoys watching the Philadelphia Eagles and Dayton basketball & football teams. Outside of those sports, Connor enjoys watching his athletes compete, whether in Cincinnati or at tournaments or college games as well! Connor is a former walk-on wide-receiver for the University of Dayton football team and played ultimate frisbee throughout college and professionally. He currently runs marathons in his leisure and is eyeing his first half triathlon! Read below for more info on his coaching background.
