He has experience working at the Olympic Training Center in Lake Placid, NY, Duquesne University, Robert Morris University, as well as a variety of other coaching positions with athletes at many different levels.


As an athletic performance coach, he has directed and hosted many summer performance camps and clinics for sports such as hockey and wrestling, speed and agility camps for sports such as soccer and football, and team programs for sports such as basketball and tennis, throughout the east coast.


With the help of expert coaches such as Kevin Constantine, Shane Clifford, Dave Hanson, and Marianne Watkins, he has become one of best off-ice hockey performance coaches in the country for specific programming for ice hockey.


Hoy is also recognized by various forums as an authority on training for ice hockey, wrestling, MMA, preventing injuries in young athletes, speed training, and women's sports.


He is a highly sought after speaker/clinician and lectures each year on speed training and training for ice hockey at the Annual Pennsylvania State Strength and Conditioning Clinic attended by strength and conditioning professionals, athletic trainers, physical therapists and sports medicine doctors.


Early in his athletic performance coach career, Coach Hoy saw a need for a company that would provide the best sports performance training to all interested athletes, with principles embedded in science and real-world practice, with added values of leadership, integrity, and discipline, and with a commitment to the highest quality and value.


Coach Hoy wanted to create a private company that was more focused on the athletes getting trained than anything else...


He had a vision of a company that created programs specific to the needs of each unique athlete, and a company that could serve as an educational resource for parents, athletes, and coaches around the globe via a strong internet educational component. In 2007, he realized his vision-- he founded Finish First Sports Performance, LLC, and opened the doors of his first training facility in Pittsburgh, PA.


Jeremy resides in Pittsburgh with his wife and three children.
