Mark Watts is one of those rare guys who has been a college coach,  worked in a business setting, and eventually realized what he was born  to do – teach and coach youth sports.  Mark spent years paying his dues,  surviving on low wages and learning from great coaches before he  finally got his chance to be a college strength coach at Denison  University in Ohio.

After many years chasing the “strength coach dream,” Mark accepted  what many would consider a dream job as the Director of Education at EliteFTS.com.   During his time at EliteFTS, Mark authored dozens of articles, spoke at  conference around the country and hosted the EliteFTS Sports  Performance Podcast (which was absolutely fantastic).

With a stacked resume, you might expect Mark Watts to be arrogant and  opinionated, but he is a genuine, open-minded, first-class person who  is making a huge impact on a lot of kids these days.
