Rich Jantzi

I am the Health, Fitness & Racquets Director for The Clark Sports Center in rural Cooperstown, NY, (Home of Baseball). In fact the company I work for also owns the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum. I have been employed in this position for 20 years and held a similar position at the Tri-Valley YMCA in Oneida, NY. I have close to 75 employees that provide programs for our 4000+ members in the way of health and fitness. Our facility has been in business since the 1890's and has always been committed to the health, fitness and recreation of the residents of Cooperstown and the surrounding communities. My job is very rewarding and truly love working in this community. I also coach Varsity Girls Volleyball, in 2009 we won our first Regional title in school history and I was named coach of the year. I have had 10 girls play volleyball at the college level. I believe that my versatility, integrity and the ability to multi-task are my strengths and my main weakness that I am working on is public speaking. It's really not that bad. I live by the Asics motto, "Don't just do it, do it better." That's my approach to everything that I do.
