In this episode, I’m excited to announce my new leadership role with  the IYCA, the International Youth Conditioning Association.  When I got  involved in the IYCA several years ago, I realized that it was a very  different organization that not only addressed high-quality training  methods, they also addressed how to be a better coach, run your business  and make an impact on young athletes.

When the opportunity presented itself to become the President &  CEO, I felt like the last 20 years of my career all came together.  All  of my experiences coaching, running a business, writing, and producing  online content pulled together.  I’m still running Total Performance, so  I’ll be in the trenches every day, which makes this opportunity even  more exciting.  I get to do what I love with people that I truly enjoy  being around.

I look forward to the next chapter of the IYCA and hearing your  thoughts about the direction you’d like to see it take.  Please try out  my new e-mail address jim@IYCA.org and let me know your thoughts on the  IYCA.
