ECC Trainers & Coaches
As a professional Sports Performance Training organization we
commit to providing our aspiring and accomplished athletes the most experienced
trainers and coaches, who have all played and trained at the highest collegiate
and professional levels.
We find the experience and knowledge our trainers offer — learned while
achieving their own athletic accomplishments — directly impacts our ECC
athletes and gives them something extra to aspire to.
Outstanding athletes don’t always make the best coaches and trainers.
This is a critical consideration in selecting our ECC team. It takes a special
commitment, experience and dedication to developing others. We are pleased
to introduce our team.
