Vertimax Vive

Vinny Scollo is a Vertimax Master Train and the Gold's Gym Sports Performance Director and Regional Fitness Manager in Middletown NY. As a strength and conditioning coach working with both amateur athletes and professional athletes in high school, college and the NFL, Vinny has over 12 years of experience in human performance.   In this episode, Vinny shares some of the things he thinks about when preparing his athletes for the NFL season, on and off season. As a trainer, it can be tempting to push your athlete to their max, however, patience really is a virtue when it comes to the human body and to achieve peak performance. You never want to go too fast and over exert your player, as that can cause massive setbacks (and injuries) later down the line.    Key Takeaways: [1:00] A little bit about Vinny and his performance background.
