Joe Schiessl
Athletic Director
Prior to becoming Catholic Central’s proud Athletic Director, “Coach Joe” spent the last 10 years as a strength and conditioning coach in both the private and public sectors, including running a sports performance business. Over the course of his career, he has worked with athletes as young as 8 years old all the way to professional and Olympic-level competitors. His public sector experience includes serving as a Strength and Conditioning Graduate Assistant at St. Cloud State University in Minnesota while pursuing his Master’s in Sports Administration.
Coach Joe now brings these diverse experiences—physically developing athletes, managing programs, and building a strong culture of excellence—to Catholic Central. He is committed to preparing student-athletes not only for success in competition, but also for the discipline, teamwork, and resilience required in life.

Topper Power
Topper Power is Catholic Central’s comprehensive strength and conditioning program designed to prepare student-athletes physically, mentally, and emotionally, for the demands of sport and life. Open to all high school students and interested 7th–8th graders, the program develops the foundational qualities of speed, strength, and conditioning through safe, progressive, and scientifically backed training methods.
True athletic success extends beyond sport practices and drills. It requires developing a complete foundation of physical skills and abilities. By strengthening every aspect of the athlete physically, athletes will unlock their full potential and reach the next level of athletic success.
Athletes will learn proper technique, how to train safely along with improving speed, strength, power and mobility. Each session emphasizes technique before load, ensuring long-term development of the athlete while minimizing injury risk. As their physical capacity improves, athletes are able to practice, compete, and learn new skills at a higher level, enhancing their overall athletic abilities.
Just as important, Topper Power instills life skills that extend beyond athletics—accountability, perseverance, discipline, and confidence—helping every participant grow as both an athlete and a person. Our ultimate goal is to equip Hilltoppers with the tools and mindset to make fitness a lifelong habit while improving their athletic performance.
Sport Teams
Catholic Central offers a wide variety of athletic opportunities where students can compete, grow, and represent the Hilltoppers with pride. With options across fall, winter, and spring seasons, there’s a place for every athlete to get involved.
