William Fly
About
I grew up in Suffolk, Va where I played several sports & was fascinated with the weight room & how it can improve some of my limitations I had on the field.
My fascination with the weight room & athletic development only grew when I went to Greensboro College where I played football all 4 years & graduated with my degree in Physical Education.After graduation in May 2012, I started my unconvental journey to becoming one of the few full time public high school strength coaches in North Carolina.Along the way, I spent over a decade coaching high school football serving in a variety of roles from JV defensive line coach all the way to an assistant head football coach.I also obtained my masters in Coaching & Athletic Administration on Concordia University-Irvine during this stretch of time.
In 2020, I had the honor of being named the National High School Strength Coaches Association State Coach of the Year for the State of North Carolina.I currently serve as the Director of Athletic Performance at Mallard Creek High School located in Charlotte, North Carolina. I also serve as the Youth Athlete Head Coach at Discover Fitness, Strength & Conditioning in Mooresville, NC. I have also had the privilege to serve our profession as both NC State Director & Southeast Region Director for the National High School Strength & Conditioning AssociationFly Performance & Wellness was started to continue the mission of helping individuals pursue excellence, create connection, and live true to themselves outside of the walls of my school. It is our goal to provide the exact same quality instruction & programming that my students/athletes get on a daily basis to coaches & athletes all over through the use of technology such as google sheets & Teambuildr.I currently reside in Denver, North Carolina with my wife, Shani, & my beautiful daughter named Ruby.
