Head Track&Field Coach St. Johns University
"I met Mr. Narcessian my last year of competition. I was struggling with injury and made a commitment to try for my last Olympics in 2012. In working with him I learned a lot about my body in motion. I'd already come to terms with the fact that everything was going to hurt, and I was going to have to get through it if I wanted to reach my goals. Dr. N taught me otherwise. With some biomechanical adjustments, I did the majority of my training pain free, qualified for the Olympics and made it to the semi-finals. I am forever grateful to Dr. N. Even today my athletes benefit from the things he's taught me."

"I cannot thank Bob enough for all he did to help me get through my knee surgery. He helped me through the rehab and continuing training process! I hope that over the next few years of training I can get to a level where I can be a vocal and elite testimonial to his training techniques and principles."
Billy Roman
NFL Football Combine Athlete
Running back
"Thank you for all of the time you have spent sharing your knowledge, while helping me achieve my athletic goals. Working with you has been a great experience that I will never forget. I achieved my lifetime fastest 40-yard dash time of 4.41 as a result of the work I had done with you."
Mark Cameron
2-time Olympian
Weightlifter
"Bob's influence was key to me making two Olympic teams. I first met Bob as a college Junior when he attempted to help me with my shot putting. That was a lost cause, but we later connected as I was training as an Olympic weightlifter. Besides the tremendous aid and support he provided there, he awakened an intellectual curiosity that led to an advanced degree in Biomechanics of Sport. His way of looking at things still influences me today."

"My first ah-ha moment with Bob was in 1976 after struggling with my shot put technique. Visiting with him for a day was enough to launch my new and improved throwing technique. He taught me the most important lesson in coaching anything: Physics doesn't lie!"
Gina Genovese
Former Professional Tennis Player
Owner Gina's Tennis World
"Due to an injury in 1980, I was sent to JFK Hospital. It was there I met Bob. He introduced me to the proper abducting squat! It helped me strengthen my hamstring and got me back on the court.
I asked Bob to coach me even though he never held a tennis racket. I guess we were both nuts. When he accepted my life was changed forever.
Forty years of listening to Bob's understanding of biomechanics and motions has taught me a different way to teach tennis that is found nowhere else. I have had the joy of imparting his quirky drills, demonstrating configurations and unloading while teaching how to use momentum every day.
I would never have achieved the personal satisfaction and been a standout as a tennis professional if it wasn't for Bob. I am still an innovative coach at 60."

"I came to Bob in college when I was suffering from an unknown injury. I came to him as an unwilling, cranky, rude college student in a lot of pain (mentally & physically). Bob did not judge. Instead he immediately recognized that my bad temperament was one of the many symptoms of the long-term injury. One short weekend with Bob, and I was able to sleep, sit, walk, and even run pain free! This is something that countless doctor visits, therapies and life-style changes could not fix! I am thrilled to know that with the progression of this research, that many other people have hope to experience the same life-altering relief that I did that weekend. I often think of the terrible state I'd have been in if I had not been so lucky to have met Bob that weekend. You and your research had been a HUGE blessing to me, and I know it will be the same for many others. Thank you Bob, and NEVER GIVE UP! (a.k.a. the cranky runner from University of Maryland :)
