Athletic Lab is restructuring our coaching staff to enhance efficiencies and improve our services. Highlighting the staff restructure, are the promotions of John Grace to Assistant Director of Performance and Brian Guilmette to Director of Scholastic Training. Athletic Lab already has one of the most educated, experienced and credentialed coaching staffs in the entire country and we expect this restructure to make us even stronger.
John Grace: Assistant Director of Performance
John Grace has been promoted to Assistant Director of Performance. In his new capacity, John Grace will take on a greater role with business administration, member relations, staff education and programming of training. John Grace joined the Athletic Lab coaching staff in 2011 following his successful completion of our coaches mentorship program. In 2012, John briefly left Athletic Lab to join Athletic Lab’s Dr. Mike Young as his Assistant Fitness Coach with the Vancouver Whitecaps. Since returning to Athletic Lab in 2013, John has served as a coach and Director of Facilities.
John has been a cornerstone of our team since the day he joined our staff. In his time with us, he has earned his Masters degree and gone above and beyond in his duties as a coach and Director of Facilities. In the past couple years, John has handled much of the programming at Athletic Lab, started the popular Athletic Lab Sports Performance Podcast and taken on a mentorship role with our interns and younger coaches. John is one of our most popular coaches and is gaining notoriety around the world as a significant contributor to the field of sport performance training. I can’t think of a better person to help move Athletic Lab forward.

Brian Guilmette: Director of Scholastic Training
Brian Guilmette has been promoted to the new Director of Scholastic Training. Brian joined the Athletic Lab coaching staff in the Fall of 2015 following his successful completion of our coaches mentorship program. In 2016, he directed our NFL Combine Preparation Program. In his new role, Brian will oversee our Scholastic Sports Performance Program. In this role, Brian will be responsible for managing scholastic member accounts as well as testing, developing training programs, and ensuring an uncompromising training experience for our Scholastic age athletes.
In his short time at Athletic Lab, Brian has made a huge impact and done a great job as a coach. I’m excited about his promotion and I think he has some fantastic ideas that will make our already great Scholastic Sports Performance Program even better.
