JAY

You’ll never miss Coach Jay in the gym—he’s the one with the backwards baseball cap, a big smile, and a handshake or hug for everyone who walks through the door. Known for his fun but intense training sessions (especially on the VertiMax!), Coach Jay brings the perfect mix of energy, encouragement, and accountability to every workout.

‍

Growing up, Jay played just about every sport he could—baseball, football, soccer, and basketball, to name a few. Along the way, he had incredible coaches and mentors who taught him discipline, leadership, teamwork, and the value of hard work. Those lessons stuck with him, shaping both his approach to life and his passion for coaching.

‍

Jay believes sports are one of the purest ways to build character. Leadership, communication, perseverance, and teamwork aren’t just skills on the court—they’re lessons for life. Whether he’s coaching a T-ball team or training competitive athletes, Jay’s mission is the same: to inspire people to become the best version of themselves.

‍

At Star Plair’s, Jay loves that athletes get to immediately apply what they learn and “fail their way to success.” He’s grateful for the supportive parents who bring their kids in ready to learn, grow, and give their best every day.

As a proud father to a 14-year-old daughter, Jay uses his gift of connection, mentorship, and motivation to help young people find their purpose. He lives by the belief that the greatest gift you can give others is the ability to inspire them—something he strives to do every single day.
