Parisi Speed School

"Our child has been swimming at MAC (Memorial Athletic Club) before we started Parisi there. We noticed kids do Parisi, but never really knew what Parisi is about. Until after the summer swim team, I wanted to get my daughter strengthened before she starts swimming butterfly officially (to reduce shoulder injuries that are prevalent to female swimmers especially for the fly stroke), so we called for a Parisi evaluation. When making the evaluation appointment, I thought it was really neat that Coach Chris emphasized that Parisi is not necessarily meant for making the athletes to win the medals, which I do agree. For I think athletes rely heavily on their bodies as hardware (the minds are as software), and how “gifted” their bodies are, are under a normal distribution. Plus “...every man that strives for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown…(1 Corinthians‬ ‭9:25‬ ‭KJV‬‬)", so I chose Parisi mainly for my daughter to strengthen her core, and to reduce chances of injuries during recreational/ competitive sports. Coach Jeff gave very helpful tips pointing out my daughter’s flexible elbows during the evaluation, as she needs to be careful doing push ups to avoid injury at her elbows. Coach Justin cheered for my shy middle-childhood kid, and it instantly sets her to a cheerful start at the evaluation, as she was reluctant to do it then --- she being her own individual person, has chosen to quit jiu jitsu after I got her an annual membership, and she chose to leave soccer too. Now fast forward, we are already a quarter of a year into Parisi, and my daughter absolutely loves it. I've seen how drastically she has improved agility wise, and more importantly, how confident she is now doing and enjoying sports. The coaches really helped to make a difference. My daughter told me how she appreciated Coach Cobo and Coach Austen took the time to explain to the kids what they did wrong, so they could understand. I also personally had some feedback/inquiries to the coaches, and how Coach Cobo handled it was beyond expectation, which I’m indeed grateful for. All in all, I strongly recommend Parisi to parents for their kids."

"We recently enrolled both our kids in Parisi (8 & 10 years) & they have absolutely loved it! The coaches are great & we have seen much improvement in their speed, coordination, and strength. Their confidence level has improved greatly as well. Really cannot say enough positive things about the program, wished we would have started our kiddos sooner!"

"My daughter, Chloe, has been a steady member of the Parisi Speed School at MAC for 3 years. The goal was to improve her speed and strength in order to to better compete at the super champs level of tennis in Texas. Not only were the instructors knowledgeable in helping Chloe improve her speed and strength significantly, they also deeply care about her as an individual and a team member. Chris has helped with Chloe's self confidence as well as develop her to be a strong athlete. Chloe continues to attend Parisi classes even as a senior. We are very glad for Chloe to have had this unique experience. Our family are all members of the MAC and have been for years. I highly recommend this class to high level athletes in high schools and colleges or to teens or pre-teens who want to develop to be a good / outstanding athlete in any sport. Angelique"

"What can I about the Parisi program, Chris, and his amazing Coaching team... They have done wonders with our daughter. When our daughter started, her fundamentals were lacking. The team at Parisi trained her for strength, agility, speed, stamina and flexibility... and drastically improved her basics to where the difference was night and day... Other parents noticed the improvements as well... We are so thankful that we met Chris and found Parisi... Our daughter has been attending this program since 2013 and continues to do so... The Parisi team also goes beyond the athletics program and is more like a family... During the recent Hurricane Harvey aftermath in West Houston, Chris and his team reached out to us and other members of the Community to offer assistance. That was truly heartwarming... Great people, great facility, great team... Fully endorse them..."
