All I’ve Learned About Life, I’ve Learned From Coaching
I’m Jerry Palmieri. You might know me as the Head Strength & Conditioning Coach for the New York Giants on the staff that won two Super Bowl Championships (2007 and 2011).
I have had the privilege to be around some special coaches and athletes during 34 years as a strength and conditioning coach at the collegiate and professional levels.
Whether I was sitting in a team meeting listening to NFL Football Coach Tom Coughlin, coaching on the floor of the weight room, or standing on the sidelines for more than 500 NCAA and NFL games, valuable lessons were learned. Lessons that can be applied to life. These lessons are surrounded by stories and applications that will challenge and motivate men and women.
Here are just a few of the lessons that I share:
There is no substitute for hard work.
People do what you inspect, not what you expect.
14 – 0 is the kiss of death.
The first time you quit will be the hardest
I’d love to meet you, and hear more about how I can help you or your team take one step in the direction of your goals.
“Jerry Palmieri is one of the most passionate and inspirational speakers I know. His presentations for the Parisi Speed School and fellow NFL coaches were both moving and educational. I highly recommend his presentation for any organization that needs a boost in performance and motivation.”
