Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Jerry North. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Jerry , thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today So let’s jump to your mission – what’s the backstory behind how you developed the mission that drives your brand?

Our Mission at NorthStar Sports is to guide young athletes along their journey and be there to help support them with the discipline needed to achieve their dream. We chose the NorthStar name because of the symbolism of the NorthStar as a guide in the sky, and our last name happen to fit perfectly.

Jerry , before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?

I got into this industry 25 years ago when I had an injury in High School and realized there were ways to prepare through injury prevention and at the same time boost performance to become a better athlete. Through my experiences as a Division 1/Professional/USA athlete I am able to help young athletes increase their performance, prepare their bodies for the rigors of sports and along the way we increase their self confidence through the discipline of training and practice.

Can you share a story from your journey that illustrates your resilience?

Over the years while the athletic world changes we as coaches, trainers and mentors need to understand these changes. The pressure of social media has put a lot of additional stress on young athletes and the need to please can be overwhelming. We are here to help curb the expectations placed on young athletes and help stream-line their expectations to goals they can achieve.

What’s a lesson you had to unlearn and what’s the backstory?

The biggest lesson I have learned is that you must be a different Coach to each and every athlete. Not every athlete picks things up the same way, so we try to teach and talk to the athletes on different levels. We bring great values to the lesson they will learn from training and practicing. IT is not just “fitness and learning the exercises physically, but the mentality that will take them towards their dream.
