Parisi History
In 1992, Bill Parisi started out toward a dream. His All-American track career over, he saw numerous limitations in the way American athletes were training for sport, and he wanted to help remedy the situation. Armed with a motivational speech, some equipment, and a 500 dollar van, Bill drove to high schools in New Jersey looking for coaches and teams that wanted to take advantage of state-of-the-art training techniques. That was the single-handed beginning of what has now become a multi-personal approach to changing the face of American athletics as we know it. That was the birth of the Parisi Speed School.

Fourteen years and four Northern New Jersey facilities later, the Parisi dream still continues to expand. Now with over 40,000 athletes from every level of athletics having experienced the Parisi Speed School, the program is aimed at launching a nationwide awareness by franchising across the country. In 2005, there were 8 Parisi Franchises sold in states such as Arkansas, Connecticut, Nevada, New York, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. This national movement will continue to expand in the coming years to hopefully allow any American athlete to take advantage of the Parisi training experience.
