About Lisa Shall

I am lucky. Every day I live my passion. Ever since I was dropped off at our local YMCA at 13 years old, I learned how sports and exercise can transform a life. Over the next 5 years as I trained and conditioned my mind and body, I grew from an unconfident and broken teenager to a strong and driven woman. That drive earned me a college athletic scholarship where I was able to begin my studies in Exercise Science. As part of my undergraduate degree, I completed a strength and conditioning internship, training athletes at the University of Pittsburgh. This experience solidified my pursuit of a career in sports and fitness and led me to Columbia University, where I accepted the position of graduate assistant strength and conditioning coach. After completing my Master’s Degree at Columbia, I spent the next 4 years working as an assistant strength and conditioning coach at Princeton University and the University of Notre Dame. In those roles, I trained numerous conference and division champions, national champions, and Olympic-bound athletes. My experiences with athletes taught me how the human body and mind reacts in the most competitive and adverse circumstances. My resume served as the perfect precursor to the work I do today, training the “every day athlete.” Today as Manager of Wellbeing at Mattel, I utilize my personal experiences and 20+ years of athletic and corporate wellness experience to elevate our employees to greatness. My goal every day is to educate and encourage the employees at Mattel to become their best, healthiest selves, despite the barrage of stresses found in today’s working world. I aid them on their journeys by providing a positive and supportive environment that offers the very best in exercise and wellbeing programs. Now what could be better than that?
