More About Coach Marlon

With a B.S. in Biology and a minor in Psychology, I discovered my passion for sports performance and athlete development, leading to my role as a Sports Performance Coach, Physical Therapy Aide, and Personal Trainer at Symmetry Physical Therapy in Pelham, NY.

During my time there, I designed and led sport-specific training programs for athletes in football, baseball, basketball, and soccer, serving ages 11 through adulthood. These programs focused on enhancing strength, conditioning, and skill development while monitoring fitness progression. I also worked one-on-one with specialty athletes, such as golfers, and non-athletes seeking to improve overall fitness. Additionally, the physical therapy component gave me a deeper understanding of how exercise can rehabilitate and elevate performance for individuals with musculoskeletal injuries or disorders.

My diverse experience, academic background, and personal sports journey shaped my training philosophy, which focuses on developing both core athletic abilities and sport-specific skills.

My training incorporates:

Core Stability and Balance Development
Strength and Conditioning Progression
Short Interval Acceleration/Deceleration
Eliminating Inefficient Movements
Proprioception and Body Awareness

My athletic journey is a testament to perseverance and the power of focused training. As a junior in high school, I was named the starting quarterback despite having no prior experience in the position. With raw athletic talent and determination, I committed to intense training to refine my skills.

To elevate my game, I focused on studying defensive concepts to improve my ability to read and recognize coverages. Additionally, I completely overhauled my throwing mechanics, transitioning from a classic linear motion to a core rotary (rotational) motion with a simplified arm action. This change provided me with a lightning-quick release and safeguarded me against the common injuries associated with the traditional motion, such as elbow pain, shoulder discomfort, and rotator cuff issues.

These efforts paid off as I was selected as a quarterback for the New York City All-Star Team during both my junior and senior years. I was recruited by prestigious programs, including the University of Miami, University of Massachusetts, and University of Central Florida, and was invited to the renowned Bishop and Dullaghan Football Passing Camp in Indianapolis, an elite camp for the nation's top players.

While a series of knee surgeries ultimately ended my playing career, it redirected my passion toward studying the biomechanics of athletic performance. I pursued a degree in biomedical science, earned a competitive NRSA grant from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) to study mental health disorders, and worked in the Neurosurgery Department at Weill Cornell following my time at Symmetry Physical Therapy.

My experiences as an athlete and scholar continue to fuel my passion for helping others achieve their athletic potential while minimizing the risk of injury.

Training platform:

Every athlete’s journey begins with the Torque Diagnostic Circuit (TDC) during the first session. This dynamic series of drills tests hand-eye coordination, acceleration/deceleration, strength, flexibility, balance, speed, and conditioning. The TDC establishes a baseline for athletic performance and provides a foundation to tailor the training experience. By intertwining athletic enhancements with skill development, the circuit allows me to identify specific areas for improvement and create personalized drills to address both athletic and skill progression.

In the second phase of the initial session, we focus on the specific mechanics and refinement of your sport-specific skills, diving deeper into the techniques and strategies needed to maximize performance in your chosen sport.

Coach Marlon is excellent. We are excited to see our son’s growth while working with Marlon. He came home excited and worn out, and he immediately started to practice the new skills he’d learned.

Coach Marlon was excellent right from the start. He was very engaging and my son took to his teaching techniques right away. Big thumbs up

First session with Coach Marlon was great! My 13yo son doesn’t always give rave reviews for coaches. He walked away exhausted and really happy with the hour he spent working with Marlon! Very good start and looking forward to continue working together!

Coach Marlon was great! Extremely knowledgeable!

Excellent, learned a lot

Very professional, dedicated and with high work ethic. My 12 yrs old aspires to be a QB. Up until coach Marlon he was self taught and trained with the school team only during the seasons. Understandably he had many imperfections and issues. Our goal was two fold: find those imperfections; establish some long term drills accordingly, ie to improve them and strengthen the already established good skills. The idea was for the trainee to understand his weakness and strengths, set some goals and be able to follow some specific drills and a proper routine with or without a coach. Coach Marlon’s approach was quite methodical. He used several techniques to identify the weaknesses and strengths in the first session . He then explained them to us clearly and made sure we understood them. Then in the next session he came up with several drills and worked with them meticulously for several sessions until the trainee understood them and was able to perform them properly. In the end the Coach gave some general very usefully advices about training alone. He also made himself available for us to contact him any time for free for any tips, and welcomed us to send training videos to him any time for evaluation. My son was very comfortable and satisfied with Coach Marlon. We plan to work with him again once the school is over, during summer, and would highly recommend him.

My son is learning so much from Marlon. Marlon is knowledgeable, patient and encourages my son every step of the way. Thank you Marlon!

Coach Marlon is great! He started to work with my 13-year-old son and even from the first lesson my son said he learned so much! He is very accommodating and easy to work with. He made my son feel very comfortable! We are so happy we found Coach Marlon and highly recommend him!

Our son has only had 1 of 5 sessions so far but Coach Marlon was very motivating and was able to hone in very quickly on what he needed to work on. He is looking forward to the next one!

Coach Marlon has made my son who is a good Football player for his age, an even better Football player. He’s patient and knows the game very well.

Great work out, we were very pleased with Coach Marlon.
My son is looking forward to his next training session.

Love working with Coach Marlon, he breaks things down in a way that I can understand, corrects bad habits on the spot, and always allows for questions. We cover a wide range of skills in any given session. I feel much more confident already.

Coach Marlon was great and we cannot wait to have more sessions. My son is new to football and he definitely needs the 1:1 support. Coach Marlon was so patient with him.

Coach Marlon is a GREAT coach! He has provided my son with confidence and techniques needed before his first tackle football season. He is clear, patient, creative and provides direct constructive feedback. I would not hesitate to recommend Coach Marlon to any new athlete!

Coach Marlon definitely knows what being a COACH is truly about! He’s both a teacher and player of the game, and our young athlete learned a lot in the time spent with him. Not only is he the consummate professional, but Coach Marlon is someone who dedicates himself to making sure his players learn the GAME the right way.

Coach Marlon has taught me more in a few sessions than I could've taught myself in a year. He is very knowledgeable on proper mechanics, creative with his drills, and will help you as much as you need off the field as well. As a late bloomer, he has given me hope that I can accomplish my goal.

I am writing as the Quarterback that Coach Marlon is training, and Coach Marlon has taught me more about QB mechanics than anybody I have ever met. I can already feel how smooth, easy and more accurate the throw is than my former release after only two sessions. I also like how he treats me and how we can discuss what drills we are going to do. If you are looking for somebody who will actually help you improve your quarterbacking, I would go with Coach Marlon.

I’m not giving the review because I wasn’t training. But Ethan was very happy with Coach Marlon. He said that the coach was a good mix of firm and understanding.

We found coach Marlon to be exceptional. He's prompt, knowledgeable and easy to work with. He encourages my son to follow through each move/drill repeatedly to improve skills. We will continue to book with him and look forward to great results. - M. Clark

Fantastic sessions with Coach Marlon. He really knows the QB position and is able to teach it effectively. Quickly assessed my son’s level and worked on making adjustments and fine-tuned footwork. My son is playing college football and learned a great deal from Coach Marlon. Highly recommended.

Our son really got a lot of the sessions with Marlon. Very diverse expertise across the board in areas important for young quarterbacks

Very responsive and flexible with meeting time and location. Tailored his coaching to my son's individual mechanical needs to make it an amazingly productive session. He learned so much in this one on one session! Son is excited to take his improved skills and perspective to the field and we look forward to working with him further. Can not thank him enough for giving him that extra spark that he needed!

Coach Marlon was an excellent coach for my son. He helped correct some footwork issues and other mechanical breakdowns in his throw while also finding a way to be engaging and fun. Marlon also has great enthusiasm and natural teaching skills.

My experience with coach Marlon was great. I was coming to him not as an athlete but as a researcher. He proved to be smart personable and totally professional. He is very knowledgeable about cutting-edge training techniques. And a great guy!

Coach Marlon works with my son to increase his skills and confidence levels in a number of sports, including football, basketball and baseball. My son loves working with him and has learned a lot.

Coach Marlon worked with my 14 year old son - he was friendly, patient and knowledgeable

Coach Marlon is an excellent coach, he has helped our son in every aspect of the quarterback position. The throwing motion centered around rotational mechanics has helped our son throw longer distances and to throw more accurate and faster with less discomfort. Coach Marlon has taught our son to have better self confidence on the football field and to be an all around better football player. Our son looks forward to his practice sessions with Coach Marlon.

My son was disappointed with his lack of time on the field and I could see the lack of confidence he had during certain plays. Coach Marlon McGill was exactly what he needed. Coach gave him one on one instruction walking him through the technical aspects of his position and then putting him through the drills needed to build his confidence and skill set. That frustration my son felt on the field is now replaced with excitement to train with Coach and motivation to learn more. KP

Coach Marlon has all the right tools to coach a football player and help become a better athlete. The attention and detail that is provided in the session is very impressive, from warm up to conditioning. Coach Marlon is recommended.

Coach Marlon was great! During our first session, he quickly identified and corrected flaws in my son's throwing mechanics. My son also learned QB techniques that he was able to apply immediately in games. Most importantly, Coach Marlon showed professionalism and a positive attitude.

He is amazing; from the first session I understood the philosophy of the game and now I am looking forward to the next session!!!

Coach Marlon was very fast to respond and knows the key basics of football. He can help you both skillwise and physically. I highly recommend him for anyone interested in playing football wanting to get an extra edge in the game

my son is starting QB for his 6th grade team and we wanted to get him some one on one training before the season began. marlon is fantastic! he is energetic, completely involved, pleasant,easy to contact, and not only works on mechanics but physical conditioning as well. my son's agility and stamina are a strong focus of the sessions. marlon also teaches him the responsibility of being a team leader and the importance of being a team player. would highly recommend marlon to coach anyone wanting to get ahead in the game.

I rate Coach Marlon 4.5 stars. He pointed out great details about how I can improve my performance on the field as a QB; gave me some great ball skills on how to better grip & control the ball. He also showed me how to get back quicker in my "drop backs".
