About Me2

James F. Curley, CSCS, NSCA-CPT
Founder
Sports Concepts

I live in Northern New Jersey and have been an educator over 6 years, including working with children with autism.  Prior to my time in education, I coached high school football, wrestling, and track for a total of 11 years.  I was also a personal trainer and strength coach for individual clients as well as the sports teams that I coached for 7 years.

When I'm not focused on teaching or my business pursuits, I very much enjoy quality time with my wife and son.
