Tim Corcoran, Jr.

S&C Assistant Coach

Originally from Ridgefield, CT Coach Tim has worked with 100's of athletes from volleyball to swimming to mountain biking. He was a 4-time All American Swimmer, two-time Junior National Finalist and National Champion in the 100 and 200 Butterfly events setting both state and regional records.

 

Tim has been lucky enough to train multiple national champions and Olympic trialists in swimming. In 2021, he was personally invited to the Olympic Trials by a long-time client of his who came home from long-time client of his who came home from Georgetown University to prepare for the Trials with him. During those 5 months, he made a second cut and set another state record. At Olympic Trials, he placed 16th as a 19 year old! The best part was that we did this all out of my garage with limited equipment.

 

From 2011-2020, Tim owned and operated his own fitness business at Four Seasons Racquet Club, where Cat and Garret Minyard began their journey with Northeast Volleyball Club. For three years after closing his doors, Tim focused on a few private clients and his position at the Country Club of Fairfield.

 

Tim loves connecting with his athletes and preparing them for competition, both physically and mentally. Tim is thrilled for the opportunity to join the NEVBC team and get back to his passion working with athletes.

At Home Workouts

At Home Workouts 

Before working out, always make sure the area around you is safe (clear floor, no hazards). Always perform the warm up and listen to your body. If something doesn’t feel right, do not do it. If you have an injury or you have been playing a lot of volleyball, it’s ok to go light or to skip. These workouts are for maintenance and to keep you moving and hitting your goals. We would suggest working out 3-4 days a week utilizing the workouts in order and keeping track of your workouts. When you finish them, repeat from beginning, but try to increase effort/reps/tension. 


If you need more instruction, feel free to reach out to Coach Molly at strength@northeastvbc.com to set up a private or small group training session.
