SPORTS PERFORMANCE TRAINING COACH—We are also excited to announce that we will work with Align Fitness’s Jason Doherty in the weight room throughout the summer. Coach Jason’s wealth of knowledge is immeasurable, and we are excited to have him with us.
Jason’s passion for volleyball began with the opportunity to coach 2016 Team USA bronze medalist, Carli Lloyd (Italian A1 League standout and founding player of League One Volleyball). Jason has also worked with several other notable NCAA and professional volleyball players, including Anna Stevenson Hall (USA/LOVB), Nia Grant (PSU), Cat Dailey Minyard (Yale), and Maggie Kozuch (German Olympian).
Beyond volleyball, Jason has coached athletes from U.S. Soccer, the NFL, MLB, MiLB, and NCAA. He teaches a movement-based, results-oriented training methodology that minimizes the risk of injury while maximizing performance, preparing athletes to exceed the demands of both sport and life. His positivity and energy are contagious, and I am beyond elated to have Coach Jason working with us!
Off Season training is highly encouraged for development and injury prevention.
