About The McCarthy Project

Around 2000, Stephen McCarthy attempted to complete the goal of being a professional golfer. One of the first areas he pursued was sport specific strength training. He found many people hawking their training programs as the silver bullet for elite performance in golf. And after attempting some of these programs, he was left wanting for ideas that actually worked.

By 2001, the goal of professional golfer had long passed, but the idea of training youth athletes and passing along the lessons he learned from experience in life and sport started take root. He knew that athletes want to succeed and are willing to pay the price for success, but they had one problem. Most of the information was marketing hype or "Old School, Survival of the Fittest" programs. They confused the real truth on "how to" succeed. With this backdrop, the company started with the mission of passing along training principles that are not silver bullets, but time tested scientific training concepts.

Our first product was training on a one-to-one basis. Areas covered were nutrition, mental toughness, and strength training. These personal sessions became the springboard for our team and camp training.

Since our inception, we have worked with over 10000 youth athletes aged 10-24. Our athletes have gained college scholarships, won national and state championships, and became elite athletes on their respective teams.
