STRENGTH AND SPEED COACH DAN BESSETTI
Dan
Bessetti. M-PACT's Strength, Speed and
Cond
itioning
Director has been helping athletes excel at their
chosen sport for over 13 years. His success comes from a focus
on building the total athlete. He accomplishes this by
addressing strength, flexibility, conditioning, power, agility, and speed.
Only by addressing each of these components will an athlete achieve his/her
full potential. This “total athlete” approach is carried out within
a developmental framework – recognizing that there are windows of
opportunity to develop specific athletic qualities as a young person is
maturing. Coach Bessetti’s approach to training athletes combines the
ideal amount, type, and level of training for an athlete’s specific sport
within limits appropriate for an athlete’s age, physical maturity, and
mental readiness.
From elementary school-age athletes to post collegiate professional athletes, Coach Bessetti has the experience and know-how to successfully train them all. His Knight Force program at the university of Central Florida introduced hundreds of young athletes to a systematic training program and was utilized by youth participating in baseball, soccer, football, track, swimming, lacrosse and basketball. At the college level, Coach Bessetti's athletes have garnered 64 All-Conference Awards, 13 All-Region Awards, and 11 All-American Awards. Bessetti has trained 7 Major League Baseball draft picks, 2 Major League Soccer signees (Eric Vasquez, Columbus Crew; Ryan McIntosh, DC United), and 1 NBA draft pick (Brandon Hunter, Boston Celtics). Additionally, he has assisted in the development of numerous former and current NFL players including local products Brandon Marshall (Denver Broncos), Alex Haynes (Carolina Panthers), and Mike Walker (Jacksonville Jaguars), 2 time Super Bowl winner Asante Samuel (Philadelphia Eagles) and UCF's record setting running back Kevin Smith (Detroit Lions).
A powerful and effective coach of
individual athletes, Dan's true passion lies in working with entire teams. 
Coach
Bessetti loves to harness the energy of group dynamics and create a positive
and inspiring atmosphere where individuals shine and the team surpasses the
sum of its parts. He has effectively used his team training skills
with the following sports: football, soccer, baseball, softball,
basketball, tennis, volleyball, track & field, cross country, wrestling,
swimming & diving, and lacrosse. His extensive experience and
education allows him and intimate familiarity with the physical demands and
requirements that each sport presents its athletes. More importantly,
he has accumulated years of "in the trenches" experience working with
athletes and teams designing programs that simply work.
Coach Bessetti holds strength and conditioning certifications from the National Strength and Conditioning Association and the Collegiate Strength and Conditioning Coaches’ Association. He is also certified by USA Weightlifting and USA Track & Field, and he is certified in CPR.
"Coach Bessetti knows what it
takes to be a great baseball player and his program will help you no matter
what your age or level."
-Jay Bergman, longtime University of Central Florida Head Baseball Coach
