More About Coach Jay
I'm a retired US Army Special Forces Veteran with extensive experience in endurance and overall fitness training. My unique background combines over 20 years of military experience, endurance sport-specific training, and coaching, enabling me to train athletes effectively for peak performance. I am a NASM Certified Personal Trainer (CPT), Speed, Agility, and Quickness (SAQ) coach, Youth Exercise Specialist, and USA Football Speed Coach. In addition, I have extensive experience training Special Forces operators on combat-related physical fitness and endurance. Beyond endurance sports, I've coached football for numerous seasons and served as a Freshman Football Assistant Coach. Academically, I earned a BA in Psychology from American Military University and Masters in Organizational Leadership from Norwich University.
I bring a solid athletic background with four years dedicated to track and field as a sprinter at the high school level, in addition to eight years of experience in football spanning youth and high school levels. Beyond traditional sports, I've completed the JFK 50 Mile Ultramarathon, numerous marathons/half-marathons, road/trail races, and extensive endurance events in the military and private sector.
Every client is unique. I can provide in-person, online, or hybrid training for endurance athletes from sprints to 5k to Ultramarathon. My approach focuses on the client's goals, rapport, physical screening, and program development with consistent re-assessment to ensure alignment with goals. For endurance athletes, mental preparation is a critical aspect and is included as part of the program. In addition, consistency, dedication, and athletes' expectations are key factors in athletic development. Realistically, it takes 4 to 6 weeks to see initial changes or improvements, while long-term changes may take 8 to 12 weeks. Given this, I recommend committing to multiple sessions to monitor progress effectively and to achieve your goals.

Client Reviews
Chris (CoachUp client)
Our first session with Coach Jay was impressive. Unlike many other coaches who might rush immediately into skill training, Coach Jay began the session by asking my grandson about his goals (short and long-term), his experience on HS JV and varsity teams and then spent the bulk of the session assessing his skill and ability levels. This approach will ensure the areas my grandson needs to focus on are those that Coach Jay will emphasize. We're looking forward to future sessions and the calm and insightful training Coach Jay will offer.
Jeff (CoachUp client)
My son has learned a lot of fundamentals from Coach Jay in his first two sessions.

Jay is a fantastic football coach who brings a lot of knowledge on football technique, training, and general fitness. He helped my 9 year old hone his skills in multiple areas on the football field. I would 100% recommend coach Jay to anyone looking for this type of help/training. Thanks coach Jay!
