Mash Elite Youth Athletic Performance Ages 6-11 Coaching

Now each athlete gets a FREE FLEX Unit from GymAware to measure Power, Speed, and Strength.

This will be a team environment like none other.

This program is designed to stabilize, strengthen and mobilize young athletes in a way that will transfer directly onto the field. The goal is to strengthen the athlete through a full range of motion and in all planes of motion, while stabilizing and strengthening each individual joint with thicker and more elastic tendons. 

This program will ensure that youth development will take place focusing on:

• Functional Movement Patterns
• All Planes of Motion (Rotational, Horizontal, Vertical, and Side to Side)
• Power, Strength, and Body Weight Efficiency
• Videos and advice throughout
• Ongoing Coaching and Communication
• Programming based on biological and training age

It has been over two years since we’ve had a true online team. Since then, I have finished my Master’s in Exercise Science, was named the Head of Sport Science at Rise Indoor Sports and become the Head of Education for GymAware Velocity Based Training.

Why did it take by so long to launch the team rebirth? That’s because I didn’t want to launch just another online coaching team with some general program for everyone to follow. I wanted something different. I also wanted the best coaches possible to help me with this endeavor.

I'm starting off with the two coaches that work with me daily at Rise Indoor Sports:

•      First, Coach Matt Wininger, B.S. a graduate of Lenoir-Rhyne University where he was the Team Captain for my LRU Weightlifting Team that earned two National Championships. He earned All-American honors all four years, and is a two-time Team USA Weightlifting Athlete. He was also a sprinter on the Varsity Track and Field Team. Matt was the original Team Mash Elite Athlete having been my athlete since he was 10-yrs-old making it 14-years he's been my athlete. He's also the coach of my own children, which is the biggest honor I can bestow on a fellow coach.

•.    Coach John Lucchesi, B.S. is a graduate of East Tennessee State University's prestigious Exercise Science Department. He was a starter all four years on the Varsity Soccer Team and went on to play pro for a few years after college. John is the Head Strength Coach at Rise Sports Performance. He's also the one that keeps all of us organized and the one that creates our systems at Rise. Coach Lucchesi has worked hard to understand all the tech that I brought to Rise Indoor Sports. He's also one of the most humble coaches in America making a real effort to learn under my guidance. He's the glue to this team, and the real reason that the new online team will be better than ever.

You can expect:

• Individual Programming based on assessment and your expectations
• Healthy Lifestyle Education designed to improve athletic performance and to form a healthy lifestyle
• Weekly Zoom with your coach for accountability.
• 24 Hour turn around on messages daily.
• Monthly Q&A with Coach Mash via live Zoom
• FREE FLEX Unit from GymAware to measure Power, Speed, and Strength along with an eventual fatigue management system which is extremely important for youth because absolute strength isn't the goal at all.
• Nutrition Guidance designed to educate
• Team camps at Rise Indoor Sports and on the Mash Farm
• To learn about becoming the best athlete that you can in terms of science, lifestyle, and mindset.
• Testing that will determine the need for more force, speed, hypertrophy, or a combination.
• Muscular Symmetry
• Relative Strength (Your ability to handle your own bodyweight)
• Functional Movement and Mobility

When this program is over, your coach will design a new program based on your goals for the future, or you can quit at anytime.

If you are trying to get stronger and more powerful in a way that will help you dominate your sport, this is the program.

This is going to be a team with the aim to bridge the edgy hardcore culture Mash Elite is famous for together with the latest in science and research. 

Team Mash Elite is back! I plan on taking over the world of athletic performance!

You can quit at anytime, or you can simply keep going. Once you get to the end of your program, your coach will plug in the new program based on the season you are in (in-season, preseason, etc). 

If you are trying to get stronger and more powerful in a way that will help you dominate your sport, this is the program.

P.S. Youth development became one of my passions while acquiring my Master's in Exercise Science. I have written many articles, recorded many podcasts, and recorded many videos about this very topic. I will send a few of those your way.
