LOS ANGELES, July 29, 2025 — After growing up in poverty and overcoming significant life challenges, entrepreneur John Skoryna discovered something powerful: The path to fulfillment isn’t paved with hustle and burnout—it’s built through purpose, autonomy and giving back. Out of that revelation, Lionheart Fitness Kids was born.
Now in its 16th year, the Lionheart movement has impacted thousands of children by using imaginative, sports-based play to build confidence and character. And Skoryna’s vision isn’t limited by city or state. His nationwide certification program is available to adults all across the country looking to leave behind unfulfilling jobs and launch rewarding, high-paying careers teaching non-competitive sports to young children. Skoryna’s “Play Experts” earn an industry-best average of $100 per hour.
“I created the exact system that helped me break free from the grind,” said Skoryna. “Now I’m giving it to others who want the same—freedom, income and the chance to inspire the next generation.”
The Lionheart Coach Certification offers more than training—it provides a complete business-in-a-box, including:
· A public profile that connects coaches to parents and preschools
· An integrated scheduling and payment platform
· A mobile app with weekly sport-specific curricula
· A proven sales and marketing process
· Continuous support from an active coach community
Certified Lionheart “Play Experts” earn up to five times the industry average, making it one of the most rewarding careers in youth enrichment. With a proven system, powerful support and unmatched training, Lionheart empowers coaches to build a flexible, high-impact career doing work that matters.
With partnerships that include childcare facilities at Sony, Paramount, Universal, Warner Bros. and Fox Studios, Lionheart is already a trusted name in early childhood sports education.
Now, it’s becoming a vehicle for personal transformation—for both kids and adults.
“At Lionheart, we believe kids deserve confidence. Adults deserve freedom. And everyone deserves purpose,” Skoryna adds. “This program delivers all three.”
