This is what the coaching field is all about. Always learning. Always surrounding yourself with the best coaches in the industry. 

My name is Perry Wallinger, and I am the newest coach in The Spot Athletics Coaches Development Program (CDP). As a rising junior at The Ohio State, I am looking forward to my first semester as an official Exercise Science major.
