Introducing our new Director of Speed and Agility: Ben Jenkins

With over 22 years of experience, Coach Ben Jenkins is a trusted specialist in speed, strength, and sports performance. He’s helped athletes from elementary school to the professional level unlock their full potential through programs focused on long-term athletic development, injury prevention, and explosive performance. His training has guided hundreds into collegiate athletics and thousands toward personal bests—both physically and mentally. Ben currently works with 35 active collegiate athletes across all sports, five world-ranked Irish dancers, and an Olympic water polo player. He has designed and led elite performance programs for top tier private schools across the DMV.  As the former head strength coach for professional football teams, Ben also ran their combine events. His mission remains the same for the Penguins program: build strong, resilient, and confident athletes who perform at their highest level.
