About me

Hello my name is Myles Christopher Baliotti and I grew up in New Canaan, Connecticut roughly 40 minutes from New York City. I was diagnosed with Autism at age 2 and grew up playing all kinds of sports but focused on Football and Lacrosse when I got to New Canaan High School. I was also a Volunteer Firefighter and EMT with the New Canaan Fire Department and New Canaan EMS. I even was involved with St. Aloysius Roman Catholic Church and did their Youth Ministry and went on their Emmaus Retreat. I am currently enrolled at THE Ohio State University where I’m one of the Student Managers for Men’s Lacrosse that also plans on working with the Football Program. I grew up with 2 siblings, Jed and Celia and my parents Marc and Kate. My brother Jed plays a lot of Ice Hockey. He’s a Goalie committed to the University of New Hampshire currently playing Juniors Hockey with the Naniamo Clippers of the BCHL. He played Prep School Hockey at Berkshire School in Sheffield, Massachusetts. My sister Celia plays Hockey and Lacrosse at New Canaan Country School and for the NCLA 8th grade Girls A Team and will be headed to 9th grade next year. My mom Kate grew up playing Soccer, Basketball, and Softball at Sir Francis Drake High School, now Archie Williams High School in San Anselmo, California just outside of San Francisco and  became a Fashion Designer. She attended University of Oregon for 1 semester before transferring to Parsons School of Design. My dad Marc swam at my Alma mater New Canaan High School and then swam for 1 year and played 3 years of Rugby at the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland where he graduated with high distinction and got his Master’s in Finance from Villanova University while serving active duty as a Lieutenant in the United States Navy as a Diver and an Administrator. I grew up with all their exact same interests and desires. When I grow up I want to be a Strength Coach in the National Football League (NFL). I always had NFL Dreams as a kid and was fortunate to play Football and Lacrosse in high school. I am currently one of the Student Managers for the Ohio State Buckeyes Men’s Lacrosse Program and hope to balance that with a position with the Ohio State Buckeyes Football Program. I had played both Football and Lacrosse at New Canaan and wanted to do the same and be involved with both sports here at Ohio State. Before I decided to focus on a Sports career, I had desires of serving in the military or in law enforcement or as a first responder. I always saw myself continuing our family legacy at the United States Naval Academy playing Football and Lacrosse and either serving as a Marine Corps Infantry Officer, Navy SEAL, Navy Pilot, or Marine Corps Field Artillery Officer. I also dreamed of being either a Police Officer, Firefighter, or EMT since I used to wear Firefighter outfits around as a kid and would eventually volunteer for my fire house and EMS office.  But after learning about the rigourous academics that the Naval Academy has and about the hard life in either the Navy or Marine Corps, and after volunteering and had already pursued my dreams of being a first responder, I decided to focus on a career in the NFL as a Strength Coach. Jason Miska, who was my Football Coach at New Canaan and was the Strength Coach who played at Auburn University, inspired me to do this job. My dream scenario in the NFL would be to work with the San Francisco 49ers since it’s where my mom grew up and we still have family out there. I’ve also kept teams such as the Pittsburgh Steelers, Green Bay Packers, or the Philadelphia Eagles in mind. I also envision myself working with both Ohio State Football and Ohio State Men’s Lacrosse as their Strength Coach, and plan to work with them as a Student here. Thanks for taking the time to read!
