At One Step Ahead Coaching, we believe that children thrive when supported in every area of life — mind, body, and spirit. As a dedicated mother-and-son team, we combine decades of experience with a fresh perspective to help kids take one step ahead through our coaching programs.
I’m Lisa Ulrich, a Doctor of Pediatric Physical Therapy with over 25 years of experience. Throughout my career, I’ve worked with children of all ages, including many with special needs, to enhance their strength, mobility, and independence. The small victories — like a child taking their first step or gaining newfound confidence — drive me to blend my professional expertise with compassion while equipping families with practical tools they can implement at home.
I’m Myles Ulrich, a soccer player, trainer, and student. Sports have been a significant part of my life, teaching me valuable lessons in discipline, resilience, and teamwork — lessons I now share with kids and teens through personal training for kids and executive functioning coaching. In addition to athletics, I challenge myself academically with rigorous AP and honors courses, using my experiences to help students develop focus, organization, and time-management skills essential for success in school and beyond.
Together, we combine compassion, expertise, and energy to empower every child we work with — helping them take one step ahead in school, in sports, and in life through tailored children coaching, tutoring, and more.
