J.C. Moreau has attained a level of coaching success that is typically reserved for sports professionals a decade his elder. During his 15 year coaching career he has established himself as one of America’s premier sports performance experts, and is now able to apply his world-class knowledge and skill-set working with youth athletes. “Much of the philosophy that I developed coaching top Division I and professional athletes is even more applicable to young athletes, especially kids.” Moreau says. “When you focus on developing postural integrity, structural balance and proper movement patterns, while simultaneously introducing a variety of loads and resistance, and perfect speed (acceleration and deceleration) and jumping (single and double leg + landing) mechanics, you can take the time required to ensure that each athlete develops to their full potential.” It has been this focus on safety, balanced physical development and the ability to motivate and teach young people the value of intangible qualities, such as resilience, character, accountability, persistence and purpose that has set Moreau apart.

Coach Moreau is also a sought after consultant for high school, college and club coaches and athletic administrators, as well as individual athletes and parents. He has provided guidance and direction to new and well-established programs alike, and his services have been acquired by schools, teams and organizations from California to Connecticut, and even abroad in Canada and Ireland. In addition to his consulting projects, Moreau is also a published author of “The Parents Guide to Sports Performance Training” and an “expert contributor” to several online publications, including the IYCA (International Youth Conditioning Association).

Over JC’s collegiate career several of his assistants achieved great success in their own right. Former Moreau staff members are currently leading the strength and conditioning departments at the University of Missouri, Iowa, Alabama State and the University of Kentucky Football program. Others are currently directing private facilities at Fortune 500 corporations, the Parisi Speed School, and on the staffs at Baylor University, the University of Massachusetts, North Carolina, Duke, Texas A&M, South Florida, Athletes Performance (EXOS) and Louisville University. Moreau’s lineage of coaches over a relatively short span of time, and the speed with which he reached several professional milestones are all further examples of his professionalism, effectiveness as a coach and manager, and ability to build strong relationships with his athletes and coaches. These traits also allowed him to be a difference maker and develop a Championship culture with each organization he has been a part of.

Moreau earned his B.A. from Colgate University in 2001 where he competed for the Red Raider football team (1996-98), which won the Patriot League Championship in ’97 and participated in the ‘97 and ’98 16 team NCAA Division I FCS playoffs. He also lettered for the Colgate track & field team. He earned his M.S. in Human Movement Science from the University of Memphis in 2007. JC and his wife Niki (of Monticello, IA) have three daughters (Carly 4, and twins Brooklynn and Blaykely 2) and reside in Coralville, IA.
