Meet Joey Chester

Athletic Mentors is delighted to introduce one of the newest members of its coaching cadre, Joey Chester.

The college running back and Plainwell alumni has been a competitive athlete his entire life. While at Defiance College, Joey was an integral part of the school’s football program. His moves on the field led him to become the third leading scorer going into his senior year, averaging 4.3 yards per carry. Off the field, he was a member of the Sports Business Association and received a degree in Wellness and Corporate Fitness.

Joey began his career at Athletic Mentors as an intern during the summer of 2013. He has since become a familiar face among the athletes, staying on after graduation in May 2014 and adopting new responsibilities this winter in connection with the Athletic Mentor’s Corporate Wellness program offerings. Joey has become entirely immersed in the training at AM. He oversees strength training of athletes in the areas of hockey, soccer, football, volleyball, tennis, swimming and other disciplines. He also offers personal training for adults looking for a lifestyle change.

Helping people reach their training goals inspires him. Being able to see the positive effects of the training is rewarding. Joey is passionate about what he does and all of the people that he is able to help along the way. His calm demeanor and insight have proven to motivate all that he works with.
