Meet High-Performance Coach Duane Carlisle

Hi, I’m Coach Duane Carlisle (MSc, MSCC).

I am the current Fitness Coach for the National Football League Officials and former San Francisco 49ers Head Strength and Conditioning Coach. I also previously served as the Director of Sports Performance at Purdue University, overseeing training for all their Sports programs.

I have worked with thousands of athletes, from beginner to elite, including six professional sports teams, and I specialize in helping you take your game to the next level, both physically and mentally, to ensure you gain a competitive edge over your opponent. I guess you could say my superpower is preparing people of all ages – womb to tomb – although I prefer keeping people out of the tomb!

I’m a Master Strength and Conditioning Coach through the Collegiate Strength and Conditioning Association and Boston University Track & Field “Wall of Honor” inductee

Having been in the performance industry for over 25 years, I’ve helped youth athletes develop the fundamentals of proper movement mechanics; I’ve coached professional athletes pushing the physical limits of the human body, and I’ve personally trained Silicon Valley CEOs to healthier living.

Even though fun is a major ingredient to training, so is hard work and dedication.

I believe in character-building just as much as muscle-building, and when both are mastered together, only greatness comes. A famous coach once said, “Athletes don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.” I live those words with every person I have the opportunity to train.

I hope to see you real soon.

“I’m a big believer in what Lightning Fast Training Systems can do. I first met Duane and the Lightning Fast team in 2014 when they began working with the NFL’s on-field game officials. What’s impressed me most in the three years we’ve worked with Duane and his staff is that they’ve taken the time to get to know us. They studied what we do as officials, how we move, and the physical demands we face every week when we take the field. They’ve used that knowledge to develop specific training plans, along with recovery and nutrition recommendations to help us perform at a high level. I’m convinced that Lightning Fast has helped us stay healthier so we can be at our best on the field”.

The significance Coach Carlisle places on optimal nutrition just adds to the many tools he uses to help an athlete reach his or her full potential in sport and life”.

“Upon assuming my role as Vice President of Officiating at the Pac-12 Conference, Duane and Lightning Fast were brought on board to develop and launch similar programs for our officials. After two years, Pac-12 football officials have shown improvement in performance due to their participation in the Lightning Fast program. The true value of such an endeavor is measured by the customized structure of the program that addresses and meets the specific health, fitness and mobility requirements of a unique group of athletes – Division One college football officials. The program for baseball umpires was introduced in January 2017. The work that Duane and his organization have done for the Pac-12 is unique and the superior results have been excellent”.

“Duane and his team listened to our specific needs and put together an assessment and fitness program that meet those needs. Their execution and professionalism in implementing this program to a group that had never been exposed to such methods was right on the mark. The information gained and follow through will be a great tool to improve our fitness and performance on and off the field”.

I am proud to call him a friend and a colleague”.
