Program Director

Full Job Description

The Parisi Speed School is unique in the fitness industry because the focus is on the training/fitness of athletes. Our proprietary methodology, the Parisi Youth Training System, has four separate programs designed to work with athletes of various skills and abilities.

Athletes are examined through Parisi Evaluations through Parisi’s signature Active Dynamic Warm-Up, Running Analysis procedure, and a battery of physical speed and strength movements. After the evaluation is complete, a performance coach reviews the results and selects the appropriate program for the athlete. There are also programs geared towards team training as well, where entire teams have the option of training together both in and out of season.

Some of the world’s best athletes benefited from the Parisi Youth Training System, including Chris Long, former No. 2 overall draft pick in the 2008 NFL Draft, as well as Tobin Heath, forward for the US Women’s National Soccer Team and two-time Olympic Gold Medalist.

Parisi, the leader in Youth Sports Performance, has come to Raleigh. Whether you are looking to improve your game or get fit, we are the place to train.
