Happy Halloween

Every one has a kid inside them that loves Halloween! It's fun to dress up, be silly, eat too much, be scary and generally make the day a fun festive occassion. But, where did Halloween get it's start? Halloween has it's origins in the ancient festival called Samhain which is derived from Old Irish and roughly translates to "summers end". Samhain celebrates the end of the "lighter half" of the year and the beginning of the "darker half" and is sometimes referred to as the "Celtic New Year". Whatever Halloween means to you, celebrate, enjoy, be thankful for friends and family and please be safe. From me to you, Happy Halloween!!

Parisi Speed School

Bill Parisi was becoming increasingly frustrated with the training methods utilized by American Athletes. So he made it his mission to do something about it. In 1992, he decided to launch a company focused on providing world class performance training for athletes of all ages and performance levels. With the best in class training programs, a motivational speech and a $500 van Bill, hit the roads in his home state of New Jersey searching for teams and individuals that desired to increase Athletic Performance and Confidence Levels.
