My fondest memories of coaching are very specific.
Specific to a period of time, particular location and group of young athletes.
Barrington High School.
Just outside Chicago, Illinois.
2004 – 2006.
I had started working at a large sports training facility not too far away from BHS.
Naturally, I wanted to position myself as the ‘go to expert’ for all the Young Athletes who participated in the competitive sports the school had to offer.

Attendees in Chicago and California Invited
June 10, 2010 – Attendees at Perform Better events can become certified as Youth Fitness Specialists through the International Youth Conditioning Association; #1 in Youth Fitness and Youth Sports Training.
At the Providence, Rhode Island Perform Better event two weekends ago, nearly 50 Fitness Professionals enjoyed an intimate 5-hour seminar, presented by IYCA Founder and CEO, Brian Grasso.
"It’s a unique setting and very unique experience for both myself and each of the attendees," said Grasso.
"The Perform Better Tour is the only place that interested Fitness Professionals can become certified through the IYCA live, with me teaching the material."
Since co-developing the Level 1 course with Dr. Kwame Brown three years ago, Grasso doesn’t conduct live trainings himself any longer.
The next two Perform Better events are schedule for Chicago, Illinois in June and Long Beach, California in August.
The IYCA ‘Youth Fitness Specialist – Level 1′ certification course will be hosted live by Brian Grasso on Thursday June 24 (Chicago) and Thursday August 5 (Long Beach).

Everyone claims to be an ‘expert’ don’t they?
It’s the one title that I truly can’t stand.
And I say that because there are very few real experts in the industry of
fitness and sports training.
Gray Cook comes to mind as one of them.
So to does Alwyn Cosgrove, Al Vermeil and Carlo Alvarez.
Experts all.
Easy to spot on expert, too. They’re the ones who have a major track record
of success when it comes to training athletes, but are also ALWAYS on the
lookout for stuff they don’t know.
Lifelong learners.
That to me is what defines an ‘expert’.
