Jeff grew up in East Hanover, NJ with a love of sports from as far back as he can remember. He has fond recollections of his dad as his coach, who also headed up the football and baseball programs for a number of years.
Jeff played football and baseball throughout his childhood years, which helped positively shape the person he became. When he got to Hanover Park High School he played football, but then became passionate about Tae Kwon Do and focused on that sport throughout his high school years and beyond.
Jeff started his coaching career in his early 20’s and has enjoyed every minute of it for over 30 years now. He has coached football, baseball, softball and soccer from the kindergarten level right up through high school teams.
Jeff became passionate about performance training when he saw the improvement it made in kids he was working with. He went to work with Parisi Corporate developing the Parisi training network across the country for 5 years.
Jeff has been eager to help young people achieve their personal goals not only in athletics, but also in life. He spent many of his years working with youth in a variety of settings.
He started an organization called Touch the World that took pre-teens and teens around the world building orphanages, schools and churches as well as developing leaders who would positively impact the upcoming generation.
Jeff’s talents and experience are now being utilized here at the Parisi Speed School of Middletown where he connects with youth and high school coaches and helps educate them on the value of evidence based performance methodologies that can help their athletes compete at the highest levels. He also presents seminars to parents on sports performance training and how to philosophically approach the wide world of youth sports.
