About Us

Founded in the summer of 2022, our Strength & Conditioning Youth Program was created by Joey Carroll, Head Football Coach at Watertown High School, and Mike Wilder, Head Basketball Coach at Waltham High School. Combining Coach Carroll’s expertise in strength and conditioning with Coach Wilder’s strong community connections, the program quickly became a valuable opportunity for student-athletes in Waltham to improve their physical performance while fostering meaningful relationships and team culture.

Now entering its fourth year, the program remains rooted in its original mission: to develop empowered, resilient, and high-character student-athletes with a championship mindset. What began as a summer initiative for Waltham High students has since grown to include middle school athletes and participants from surrounding communities, broadening our reach and impact.

Led by Coach Carroll (Program Director & Head Coach) and Coach Wilder (Program Administrator), our coaching staff includes four additional experienced coaches—each bringing valuable insight from their roles as current or former varsity head and assistant coaches across multiple sports. Together, we are committed to building stronger athletes, stronger teams, and a stronger athletic culture
