Since leaving his Division 1 College Football coaching position, Jeff Genyk has taken a year to invest in career, professional development and family during 2009. Genyk has continued coaching his son's Flag Football and Soccer team, and resides in Ann Arbor, Michigan. During his head coaching tenure, his team set several National Collegiate Athletic Association and MAC records. In last two games as head coach, Genyk's team was healthy enough to implement the "Warp Speed" Offense.
The warp speed offense quickly became noticed by many Division 1A college football coaches. Football programs such as, Cincinnati and Michigan were interested by the number of plays that could be run in a game. "An offense that can hang fifty points in a game and run over one hundred plays grabbed the attention of many coaches that run the spread offense".
Spending time with Coach Kelly and Rodriguez has been mutually beneficial. "You are always looking to improve as a coach, great idea exchange is an excellent way to grow and develop. The "Warp Speed" package is a fun and exciting system to coach and play in."
Genyk also invested greatly learning the ropes in broadcasting. With the help of Dave Eanet (WGN Sports Director), Chris Martin (Big Ten Network) and Matt Shepard (WDFN Radio) Genyk pursued a color analysis position. Genyk received an opportunity to move from the sidelines to the booth this fall as an analyst for ESPN Regional Television and ESPN 360.com. Presently broadcasting games in the Atlantic Coast Conference. "Having an opportunity to work with ESPN has been a great opportunity and experience. Hopefully, I am able to enhance the viewers experience by incorporating a coaches perspective."
As an assistant coach, Genyk helped secure 3 Big Ten Championships during his 12-year stay at Northwestern University. During this time, Genyk worked closely with some of the best and brightest coaches in the country. The lessons learned during these Championship seasons helped form many Genyk's core beliefs as a head football coach.
Perhaps the most profound impact was the relationship formed with the late Steve Musseau (Former Idaho Head Football Coach) and mental performance expert. Through Genyk's work with Steve and others the "Expect to Execute" program was created. A system to ensure athletes and professionals they can execute a high level when pressure/adversity strike.
"We improve the belief system by improving focus, self talk, visualization, framing skills and physical presence." The ability to utilize the best from the sports world and improve other professionals is a very rewarding process. The "Expect to Execute" program is presently being used at Medtronic, Inc., General Motors and Michigan High School(s).
The creation of a system to help high school students develop and advance in their area of interest has also been a 2009 project for Genyk. The "Potential to Reality" program is a system for high schools to ensure athletes, musicians and actors missions get the support that they need to advance to the next level. Ron Reed, Michigan High School Principal, "The system has allowed us to focus our energy as a school and community to ensure our young people are prepared to take advantage of opportunities in the future." "Life is all about how you respond to tough situations," the late Randy Walkers favorite character phrase. Genyk is an example of this type of perseverance.
