Throughout Mike Jolly's career he has been a wrestler, football player, football coach, trainer, training facility owner, inventor and now advocate. Consistent throughout has been Mike's passion for football. Today Mike's focus is on the safety of young athletes and raising awareness for the dangers of sub-concussive and concussive blows and teach how to minimize the damage from these blows with proper neck strengthening techniques.
Mike wrestled and played football at UCLA alongside good friends Mark Tuinei (Cowboys) and Luis Sharpe (Cardinals). Their long, productive careers in the NFL came crashing down due to CTE, a storyline that is becoming all too familiar. Motivated to change this fate for current and future athletes, and based on over 30 years experience in the fitness industry, Mike invented the Iron Neck as an innovative and powerful way to train the neck.
After a brief acting career (it's LA, who hasn't!), Mike entered into a career in strength and conditioning and started training elite athletes and celebrities. This led to Mike building and operating his own high end private training facility with 55+ trainers on staff, for over 10 years.
Mike coached two years at Santa Monica College (O-Line) and then two years at West LA College (Offensive Coordinator). Getting back into the game as a coach and working closely with young men, Mike again felt the impact of concussions and began to relentlessly research concussions and neck strength. This ultimately led to inventing the Iron Neck. Today, Mike speaks of the importance of neck strength and for coaches to adopt proactive concussion management approach to training.In This Episode We Discuss:

Mickey Marotti is in his third season as the assistant athletic director for football sports performance at Ohio State and his 28th season as a coach. He is the person Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer trusts in the critical area of strength and conditioning training and overseeing sports performance, and he is an individual Meyer has worked with or hired four times.
"There are times in the year when the strength staff has more contact with the team than the coaching staff," Meyer said, "and I have complete trust in Mickey Marotti's abilities to prepare our student-athletes to be the strongest, fastest and mentally toughest football players they can be."
Marotti, called a "master" of motivation and mental preparation by Meyer, is indeed that: he has coached three teams now that have won national championships: the 2006 and 2008 Florida Gators and the 2014 Ohio State Buckeyes.
His work with the Buckeyes last season earned him American Football Monthly's FBS Strength and Conditioning Coach of the Year award.
From there he went on to the University of Cincinnati, where he spent seven seasons (1990-97) as head strength and conditioning coach for UC's 20-sport program. He also worked in the areas of diet analysis and planning and assisted in student-athlete rehabilitation from injuries.
Midway through Meyer's five-year run as an assistant coach at Notre Dame, Marotti had the opportunity to work with him again when he was named Notre Dame's director of strength and conditioning in 1998. He spent seven seasons in South Bend, coordinating all aspects of the strength and conditioning program for the 26-sport department, including developing a year-round program for the football team, coordinating camps, clinics and special events, and developing policies and regulations.
Marotti was then one of Meyer's first hires when he took over as head coach of Florida in early 2005. And from 2005-11 Marotti oversaw the complete strength and conditioning programs for all of Florida's intercollegiate sports. He also served as the director of the football athletic performance team.
Unique in the fact he is one of approximately100 strength trainers to hold a Master of Strength and Conditioning - the highest honor in his profession - certification, Marotti is also atypical in the things he has his players do that all lead to developing a mental and physical edge.
Marotti's talents helped Florida develop 22 All-Americans and eight first-round NFL draft choices during his seven years in Gainesville. And there is no disputing the team accomplishments the Gators achieved: two national championships, two Southeastern Conference championships and three 13-win seasons.
The well-conditioned and mentally tough Ohio State Buckeyes have been one of the best teams in the nation over the past two seasons, including a school-record 24-game winning streak and only the sixth undefeated season in school history in 2012 (12-0). Four Buckeyes have been named first-team All-American during this time, including cornerback Bradley Roby and defensive tackle Johnathan Hankins in 2012 and linebacker Ryan Shazier and offensive tackle Jack Mewhort this past season. Additionally, Buckeyes were named31 min - IGCT Episode #178: Al Johnson- “Back In The Jungle”For Show Notes and Coach McKeefery's Website - http://www.RonMcKeefery.com

Former Ohio State football and Baltimore Orioles strength and conditioning coach Allan Johnson joined the Buccaneers’ coaching staff on Aug. 7 as an assistant coach in charge of strength training.
Johnson, who has spent the last three years at Northwestern University as the assistant director of sports performance for football, has more than 25 years of experience at the high school, collegiate and professional levels as a strength and conditioning coach. He spent 13 years with West Virginia and five years at Ohio State, coaching in 17 football and basketball postseason games, including helping the Mountaineers to the Sweet 16 in the NCAA tournament and helping the Buckeyes reach three BCS National Championship games – which included winning a national title following the 2002 season.
“We hit a home run with hiring Allan Johnson as an assistant football coach in charge of strength training,” Torbush said. “His resume speaks for itself and he will be a great asset not only to our program, but to the university and the community. He comes to us with the highest of recommendations from some of college football’s most respected names.”
Johnson was the first strength and conditioning coach in the history of the Baltimore Orioles and one of the first five in all of Major League Baseball. A 2003 inductee into the Strength and Conditioning Coaches Hall of Fame, Johnson was named the 2002 National Strength Coach of the Year and is a six-time recipient of the Big East Conference Strength and Conditioning Coach of the Year award. In 2010, Johnson was elected into the Mid-Ohio Valley Sports Hall of Fame.
“I am very excited and humbled by the opportunity to be part of the rebirth of ETSU football,” Johnson said. “The program, culture and championship staff that Coach Torbush is bringing together will be on a level to compete for championships. I want to thank Coach Torbush, Dr. Richard Sander and Lee Morrow for giving me this awesome opportunity to be part of a very special team at ETSU.”
Morrow, who is ETSU’s Director of Football Operations and himself spent 31 years as the program’s strength and conditioning coach, said Johnson is simply one of the top strength and conditioning coaches in the country.
“I am extremely pleased that Al has made the decision to be part of ETSU football,” Morrow said. “Simply stated, we cannot get anyone better to fill this spot right now. His background, his accomplishments, his personality, and his integrity are of the highest rating. I expect people to ask how we were able to secure his services.”
Throughout his career, Johnson has trained thousands of athletes, including 118 football players who have been drafted in the NFL, 25 men's and women's basketball players drafted in the NBA or WNBA, and 51 baseball players drafted to play professional baseball.
Johnson is a regular speaker at local, regional and national conferences and clinics regarding strength, speed and conditioning topics, as well as motivation, leadership and team-building. Johnson also serves as a consultant for Nike Football Clinics, High Performance Nutrition, Training & Conditioning Magazine (Editorial Board), Maxx Football and Alpha Dog Sports.
