Mark M.

I have coached and trained hundreds of athletes from ages 4 and up in basketball, football, baseball, wrestling, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, soccer, an kick boxing. From a kids first time touching a ball to High School Varsity players on their way to college. I love coaching and training at all levels. I have also won several championships in different sports coaching kids 5-10. I have had many roles... from Head coach, assistant, and even position specific roles. I coach youth rec and all-star basketball. I have head coached, assisted, and been offensive coordinator for football, assisted and head coached basketball, baseball and soccer. And have done specific personal training with athletes for wrestling and jiu-jitsu. I have been involved in coaching for 10 years and in sports my entire life. I love working with and training and developing athletes of all ages.

Three years of High School varsity basketball and wrestling. 2012 Kakuto Submission Only competitor. 2013 NAGA(National American Grappling Association) semi-finalist. 2013 Tough Mudder finisher. 2013 Spartan Run Finisher. I am still constantly training and improving for competition jiu-jitsu and life.

A dynamic and fulfilling work out and training experience. Sport specific drills and training to build speed, agility, mobility, and increase in self confidence along with building overall conditioning and athletic ability. I like to include a dynamic warm up, sport specific training, and speed strength and agility in every session.

I like to start of with a light warm up to prevent muscle tear and to loosen the body. Mainly the hips. The hips are the base of your core and its important to have flexibility and strength for any sport. Developing coordination, flexibility and power in the hips is key to being an effective athlete.

Light jog-- Included in the jog are high knees, butt kickers, side shuffles, and karaokes.

Then follow the warm up with body strength and speed conditioning drills. These include squats, push ups sprints, stutter steps, and footwork ladder drills. We will also do body weight exercises to improve strength, coordination, and flexibility.

After the body is warmed up and ready to train at an optimum level, we will begin the skill drills training! These will vary based on current position, what position you would like to play, and client preference.

During the overall training process, we will also cover in specific interest or wants or needs of the client. Then we will have a session of skill drills combined with conditioning to really train at a high level and make the players use what they have learned and react to different situations.

Then to wrap everything up we have a nice cool down/stretching... but we also use this time to talk, think, and reflect on out training. Why we do what we do, how hard work pays off, and how to apply the training in game time situations.
