STARTING WITH STAFFORD 

Kenny is a Columbus native and graduate of Desales High School. He continued his education and football career at the University of Toledo. After college graduation from UT, Kenny went on to play 8 years of professional football in the Canadian Football League. Throughout his professional football career, Kenny trained beside some of the world’s most notable athletes at Tony Villani’s, XPE in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. This is where his passion for training started to grow. Kenny took his growing knowledge base and applied it to train athletes of various sports in his off seasons. Tony continues to mentor Kenny to this day. Upon retirement in 2023, Kenny founded Staring with Stafford, LLC. Kenny owns 2 Shredmills, (state of the art speed training systems designed by Tony Villani.) Between the equipment, the personal experience, the connections, and the curriculum, Starting with Stafford offers elite training for all athletes. It All Starts Here.

​

Starting with Stafford teaches the athlete how to properly run with mechanics through the 4gears of speed. Once the athlete gets fast, we then then teach them the 3 proper ways to change direction from multiple positions. We take the time to break down how speed and agility applies to their respective sport; showing them how their speed dictates what type of change of direction to do in what scenario.
