Jeff Boucher – Managing Partner, Performance Coach

Jeff grew up in East Hanover, NJ with a love of sports from as far back as he can remember. He has fond recollections of his dad as his coach, who also headed up the football and baseball programs for a number of years.

Jeff played football and baseball throughout his childhood years, which helped positively shape the person he became. When he got to Hanover Park High School he played football, but then became passionate about Tae Kwon Do and focused on that sport throughout his high school years and beyond.

Jeff started his coaching career in his early 20’s and has enjoyed every minute of it for over 30 years now. He has coached football, baseball, softball and soccer from the kindergarten level right up through high school teams.

Jeff became passionate about performance training when he saw the improvement it made in kids he was working with. He went to work with Parisi Corporate developing the Parisi training network across the country for 5 years and then he, along with his partner Matt Lucarello, purchased the Parisi Morris location.

Jeff has been eager to help young people achieve their personal goals not only in athletics, but also in life. He spent many of his years working with youth in a variety of settings. He started an organization called Touch the World that took pre-teens and teens around the world building orphanages, schools and churches as well as developing leaders who would positively impact the upcoming generation.

Jeff’s talents and experience are now being utilized here at the Parisi Speed School of Morris where he connects with youth and high school coaches and helps educate them on the value of evidence based performance methodologies that can help their athletes compete at the highest levels.

Ken Bucsko – Performance Coach

Since childhood, Ken has always been an active person. Ken initially grew up with martial arts, with a specific focus on taekwondo. Ken invested a lot of time with taekwondo and still to this day reaps the benefits in terms of flexibility. Heading into Ken’s early teens he made a seamless transition to basketball, where he enjoyed the skill based game and had loads of fun with the movements involved with the game. The moment where Ken’s athletic career made a drastic turn was when he tried out for his cross-country team heading into his freshman year of high school. Let’s just say running and Ken have a connection, tied together through unique experiences he was only able to attain through the sport of track and field. Track has shaped his personality today. Through the sport, he came to understand pain; it made him tough. Ken came to understand patience;  that progression takes time, which is only achieved through hard work and consistency. Perhaps the most important lesson that track and field has given Ken is love. It is this reason that he continues to train outside of school, with the hope of one day representing Team USA on the track.

Once you understand Ken a little bit it makes sense to see why he went to college to study the human body and exercise physiology. Ken graduated from Rutgers University with a bachelor of science (B.S.) and ever since he has been on a mission to apply all his knowledge to aid young, hungry athletes in reaching their full potential. Along with Ken’s formal education he is also a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) through the NSCA and a Certified Speed and Agility Coach (CSAC) through the NSPA. Ken truly loves the art of human movement and the process of coaching athletes to achieve the most efficient positions so that their full potential for power can be realized. Ken never had access to a facility like Parisi growing up, so he feels he missed out because so many kids see numerous benefits through this program. Ken also never had a coach that fully resonated with him on a personal level, which is why he takes his role as a coach so seriously. It is Ken’s ultimate goal to prepare any athlete physically, mentally, and emotionally to perform to their best whether they are stepping out onto the field or court.
