BS Secondary Education, KSU

John grew up in Overland Park, KS and graduated from KSU in 2005 with a teaching degree. John had shoulder and elbow surgeries in consecutive years during college, so while his peers were busy playing ball he had to pick up coaching to stay in the game. His interest in fitness started in middle school with his fascination of bodybuilding and that continued throughout his teens and 20s.

After two years of teaching and coaching, John spent seven years in outside sales. As the sports performance industry emerged in the past decade John finally saw an opportunity to open his fitness business; perfect background of teaching, coaching, and fitness in the perfect town to do it. Renzi Performance & Wellness started in 2013 with a handful of softball players and a few of John’s friends as his clients and within three years he had established himself as one of the most trusted sources in town for baseball and softball training. John and Matt met in 2015 and quickly realized the similarities in their training philosophies, and knew right off the bat they would be better off working with each other than competing. In 2016 they formed a partnership to create KCSC.
