Be the Coach You Wish You Had 

Mr. Jon Torine spent 17 years as a Strength and Conditioning Coach in the National Football League beginning with the Buffalo Bills and then 3 years later the Indianapolis Colts.  He was the youngest Head Strength & Conditioning Coach in the NFL where he spent 14 years leading all aspects of player performance and well-being. His tenure with the Colts is highlighted by a world championship in Super Bowl XLI and he considers the relationships developed along the way as the larger prize.  He was the Director of Pro/Elite Sports on behalf of the NFL Players Association Trust Program supporting former players in their post career transition.  Through Jon’s Lean In Coaching Initiative, he has been called in to coach and consult across pro, college and youth sports organizations across the globe in an effort to bring multiple disciplines together in support of the ultimate and most important resource, the people inside of it.  Jon is the owner and operator of i9 Sports – Eastern & Central Monmouth County.
