After leaving his Eastern Michigan head coaching position, Jeff Genyk has spent 2009 concentrating on professional development and family. Genyk has continued with coaching his son's Flag Football and Soccer team, and resides in Ann Arbor, Michigan. While at Eastern Michigan, the Eagles set several collegiate records. Just prior to his departure, Genyk's team implemented 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."
This year has ushered in a new page to the career of Jeff Genyk. He recently accepted a position with ESPN as a color analyst for Atlantic Coast Conference football games. With the help of several nationally recognized broadcasters, Jeff was offered the analyst position for ESPN Regional Television and ESPN 360.com. As stated, he is currently broadcasting ACC games and Jeff says: "Working for ESPN has been a great opportunity and I enjoy sharing my coaching perspective with the fans."
As an Assistant Coach at Northwestern University for twelve year (3 Big Ten Championships) Genyk had an opportunity to work with some of the best and brightest coaches in the country. Randy Walker (Former Northwestern University Head Football Coach), Pat Fitzgerald (Northwestern University Head Football Coach), Kevin Wilson (Oklahoma Offensive Coordinator), Craig Johnson (Titans Quarterback), Ron Vanderlinden (Penn State University, Linebacker Coach), Aaron Kromer (Saints Offensive Coordinator), Gary Barnett (Former Northwester University Head Football Coach), Gregg Brandon (University of Virginia Offensive Coordinator) and of course his father, George, to name a few. These and many others helped form Genyk's coaching identity.
Likely the biggest impact on Genyk was made by the late Steve Musseau. Steve was the former Idaho football coach and a performance expert. Through Genyk's relationship with Steve and others , Jeff's "Expect to Execute" program was born. Genyk's "Expect to Execute" program is a program that instructs athletes and business professionals how they can operate in their field when they face difficult obstacles in their careers.
"We attempt to improve your 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.
