In 1996, I founded the Fallon Center for Youth Sports (FCYS) to pursue a career goal of helping student-athletes, regardless of sport, achieve their athletic potential, while also helping them build life skills, courage and responsibility. I have purposefully kept FCYS at its present size so that I personally know and am able to work with each individual student-athlete and their parents.  Through this one-on-one interaction, I ensure that each player receives candid and objective feedback, as well as guidance to help them achieve their realistic goals and life aspirations.  My service philosophy is based on a deep rooted belief in the potential of each individual, and the services we offer (evaluations, conditioning, college planning and coaching) are geared toward maximizing this potential. As a result of our services we have an astounding track record, with more than 97% of our seniors having the opportunity to compete at the collegiate level, with 36% of them participating at NCAA Division I schools.  In fact, since 2003 almost 100 players have been selected in the amateur baseball draft. One of my personal daily goals is to create a positive experience for everyone with whom I come in contact and I look forward to having the opportunity to provide this positive experience for your student-athlete as they embark on this next phase in life’s journey. -Jeff FallonFounder

For all of you uncommitted seniors, here is a good stat to know:
Less than 1% of you have made a committment .. that means 99% have NOT.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Relax, stay committed to developing and communicating with college coaches.  Don't give up!  Believe in your ability, your dreams and your goals.  Don't listen to people who do not understand your goals ... they will be disastrous in your efforts to reach them.  In most cases ... they are just jealous that you have a goal!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Enjoy your senior year!  You only get one of them.

Bill Gates recently gave a speech at a High School about 11 things they did not and will not learn in school. He talks about how feel-good, politically correct teachings created a generation of kids with no concept of reality and how this concept set them up for failure in the real world.

Rule 1
: Life is not fair - get used to it!

Rule 2
: The world doesn't care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself.

Rule 3
: You will NOT make $60,000 a year right out of high school. You won't be a vice-president with a car phone until you earn both.

Rule 4
: If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss.

Rule 5
: Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your Grandparents had a different word for burger flipping: they called it opportunity.

Rule 6
: If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault , so don't whine about your mistakes, learn from them.

Rule 7
: Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you thought you were. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parent's generation, try delousing the closet in your own room.

Rule 8
: Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life HAS NOT. In some schools, they have abolished failing grades and they'll give you as MANY TIMES as you want to get the right answer. This doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life.

Rule 9
: Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you FIND YOURSELF. Do that on your own time.

Rule 10
: Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.

Rule 11
: Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one.
