Jon’s professional career began
with the Buffalo Bills as assistant strength and conditioning
coach. For 14 years he worked as the head strength and conditioning
coach for the Indianapolis Colts where he was the youngest to be
hired in this role. His responsibilities were many and are proud to
have worked on a fully integrated team with a shared vision. This
culminated with a world championship in Super Bowl
XLI.
Jon believes in supporting
people that want to participate and thrive in activities meaningful
for them. Whether in sports, physical education or recreation he
embraces the process of the individual and the professionals
working in the field. Jon’s vision is practiced with EXOS as the
Performance Director for Pro/Elite Sports working exclusively with
the The Trust program for former NFL players. Jon serves an
instructor and content advisor for Functional Movement Systems
collaborating in development and delivery. He consults many
organizations and called upon for his experience and instructs with
the Positive Coaching Alliance for youth sports.
