JLTA Philosophy

Johnny Long’s Training Academy (JLTA), was founded by Johnny Long after a 14 year stint as a certified Strength and Conditioning coach at the University of Tennessee. Johnny Long knew not only could he deliver great programs and superior training, but bring a true professional status to the field. JLTA has positioned themselves as the top performance training academy for many athletes across the country.

JLTA has the competitive advantage over the competition by providing expertise in strength and conditioning knowledge, actual, certified strength and conditioning coaches, proven sports-training programs and expert instruction. Our objective is simple; to hire elite coaches in the country and combine them with elite programs.

Long uses his Mentor Strength and Conditioning Coach and Master Strength and Conditioning Coach status to do just that. This status is only given to coaches who have coached at the college level for more than 12 years. Once again, JLTA does what others are trying to do, hire certified coaches’ - not personal trainers looking for revenue.

Our mission is simple, to equip athletes both physically and mentally with the ability to compete at the highest level. Johnny Long’s Training Academy’s sport training environment, qualified coaches and programs work together hand in hand with athletes to help them reach their individual goals.

Johnny Long has won a championship in every sport he has coached over the past 14 years including football, track and field, basketball baseball, tennis, and golf. Simply put, he knows how to train athletes and he knows what it takes to help them maximize their potential.

Many continue to spend money to improve their performance, but with little return on the dollar. Many so called experts (ex-athletes or personal trainers) know little if anything about executing sprinting, strength training and agility quickness skills. If you look closely at their teachings, you’ll see that they can demonstrate what to do, but they are unable to explain how to make the corrections needed for each athlete to improve.

Our training program is unique and scientifically designed for improving athletic performance. Most of all, it is proven and effective. Developed by Johnny Long and a team of expert coaches, our program is recommended for all athletes no matter what gender, age, sport played, or skill level. At JLTA, learning through experience and knowing the specific needs and movements will help you excel and get the greatest results in the least amount of time. We have perfected our system through playing the sport, running successful clinics, coaching entire teams, working with individual athletes and consulting with many legendary coaches across the country.

We will not dilute our program for younger or inexperienced athletes; we simply modify the load and intensity. Johnny Long’s Training Academy will provide what others can’t; the very best training and atmosphere in the country along with true results.
