COACH Eric Montag

Originally from Ann Arbor, Michigan, Eric Montag is a lifelong athlete with a passion for coaching and athletic administration.  He played football, basketball and soccer through high school, and he developed an interest in weight training and running in college.  

After graduating from the University of Michigan in 2017, Eric moved to the Verona area and spent a few years working in management roles for large corporations, before ultimately deciding to pursue his passion of coaching in sports and earning a Masters of Sports Leadership degree from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.  

Outside of our gym, Eric is an experienced Muay Thai athlete, coach, and referee, as well as a certified boxing coach.  He has also coached youth soccer and basketball, and has worked with athletes of all ages between 5 and 82 years old.  He is passionate about promoting safety and ethics in combat sports, and works part-time with the Wisconsin Unarmed Combat Sports Commission to help regulate martial arts events in the state.  

Eric operates by his personal mission statement "to make a difference in people’s lives through sports and community,” and he’s excited to bring that mission to the athletes at Sports AdvantEdge.
