During his college years, Mr. Ziegler participated in the 110-meter Hurdles, 400-meter hurdles and long jump at Western State College, earning Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference all-conference team status a total of seven times.

Ziegler began his first company in 1994, providing training programs for high school athletes and National Football League players including Chris Oldham, Seth Joyner, and National Football League Conference Champion Chris Walsh.
After eight years of successful programs that helped pro players stay on top of their game, Zig Ziegler gained an additional edge in his training capacity with the use of 3D motion-capture technology.

With the use of this software, Mr. Ziegler has consulted for top sports teams including the New York Mets and Phoenix Suns, conferring about the biomechanics and health potential of key trades such as pitcher Johan Santana and center Shaquille O'Neal. Mr. Ziegler also worked with O'Neal to improve his prowess behind the free-throw line, guiding him to one of the best second-half seasons of his career. In addition, Mr. Ziegler has consulted with sibling ball players Lauren and Jason Bay, helping Lauren Bay recover from multiple leg fractures and years of wearing a brace and allowing her to pitch pain-free.
