A Little About Me

Jay Cardiello began his own athletic career at the age of 10 when he enrolled as a student of Shito-Ryu
karate. He found early fame in the martial arts with 5 state and regional championships, numerous
national championships and 1 international win in his 7 year career. After karate, Jay moved on to Track
and Field in college. There he experienced the highest level of success as a member of the Razorbacks
- 1996 Division 1 National Championship Team, at the University of Arkansas. After a knee and back
injury forced him to retire he transferred to the College of William and Mary where he began
concentrating on his studies and coaching collegiate athletics. With his knowledge of athletics first
hand, he brought the school its first ever Female US National Triple Jump Qualifier. After graduating with
a BA in English, and with his coaching accomplishments paving the way, he was hired directly out of
college as the Head Strength and Conditioning Coach for the Arena Football League’s (AFL), New
Jersey Red Dogs. While at the Red Dogs, Jay was asked to serve as a Strength Assistant to the NFL’s
