Lots of great things going on at HC that I had to have coach on and talk about. We talk about his programming , scheduling, movement exercises and all the other exciting things going on with his school and some upcoming conferences going on in his area that are going to be epic.

Paul Kolody earned his Bachelors of Science in Athletic Training and his Masters of Science in Physical Education, with a concentration in Exercise Science as well.

In 2003 he helped open Somerset Medical Center's Sports Performance & Rehab Center, managing that facility until March of 2011. At the center, Paul trained athletes at the middle school, high school, college and professional level.
