Saturday, December 20th Wake Forest played Navy and Wake Forest FB, Kevin Harris rushed for 136 yards on 24 carries against Navy. Congrats to Kevin and the rest of the Demon Deacons who redeemed themselves against Navy. Kevin showed just how committed he is to becoming a better player in less than 72hrs. on Monday morning was at DTS training during his break. Along with a USF Bull as their bowl game was on Saturday.

*Also a special thanks to Wake Forest's head strength coach Ethan Reeve helping us making a decision on our new weight room equipment.

Thoughts from Jon Davis (Owner of Davis Training Systems)

Last night was a great All-Star game. 6 DTS trained athletes performed very well last night, some also realized why they should have came to speed training through out the year. I also found it very flattering the fact that other training facilities were once again trying to follow in DTS' footsteps. Even a major corporation!

Over the past three years, DTS has had great success in training athletes in the Central Florida area and this has lead to a wonderful amount of word of mouth clientele. We have also passed out flyer's for the past three years and this has worked very well for us. DTS has been the originators of this type of advertising for sports performance training in our area and last night it was great to see other facilities trying to follow in our footsteps. With one facility taking our flyer's off vehicles throwing them on the ground and replacing it with their own flyer's. While another trying to mimic our past flyer's. If these facilities were so great why would they talk down about DTS, yet follow in their footsteps? Why use athletes in a corporate data base on advertisements? Why not mention athletes that you have actually worked with and have helped develop in your facility not in another facility linked to a corporate database?

So, if your looking for a facility to train at to develop your athletic performance, why train with facilities that are all hype, make false claims, produce no results and try to follow DTS! Davis Training Systems has developed our business for one reason. To help athletes perform and become their best. That's why you will never see or hear us talk about the trainers or owners, we talk about the athletes and their success in our system. The true dream and envision of Davis Training Systems. We are truly "Dedicated to the Development of Athletic Performance." Are you?

5 DTS high school athletes will play in The Funcoast Football Classic All-Star Game

5 DTS high school athletes will play in the Funcoast Football Classic All-Star Game this Thursday at 7. Stay tuned as we have other athletes who will be playing in other games as well.

DTS Athletes in Bowl Games

10 different DTS trained football players from 10 different college teams will be in bowls this year.

No other training facility in Central Florida can say this! Good luck to these athletes and their teams.

We also had 4 Dts trained football players from 3 different teams in the FCS playoffs.

We Build Speed!

Recently I have written about all of the massive amounts of improvements our baseball players have seen in their 60 yard dash times. We have had 2 athletes go to camps and showcases and have been the fastest kids there! There is no question of our methods.....the bigger question is are you training to be the best?

DTS trained athlete/now model making a name for herself

Everyone who follows our blog and website might be familiar with a face but not a name. Former track athlete Cary Poole has stepped out of track and field to pursue her dreams in modeling and is doing very well, to say the least.

Sometimes training isn't always about getting that scholarship but impowering yourself mentally and phsically.

Here's Cary talking about what DTS did for her as an athlete:

Now here she is showing off what proper nutrition and heavy weight training and plyometrics can do for a female athlete.

Now here is Cary in some action shots strutting the runway in Paris and featured in a Nike campaign. I guess training heavy didn't live up to the old myth, that if your a female and train heavy you'll get bulky.

Training Question for the 60 yard dash

Jon,

I'm trying to help my son get faster in his 60 yard dash time. He is 16 and I have used every training protocol possible but he doesn't seem to be getting faster. How are you developing your baseball players speed?

George,

Thanks for writing in. If I told you I would have to kill you, I'm joking of course.

We first start our players out with an athletic assessment that goes from toes to head. Yes, we work down then up. From there we know how weak or strong they are. How explosive they are and how flexible they are. So, I would suggest you find a qualified trainer to perform this type of evaluation in your area. Then you can start using the correct training protocols.

To give some insight on our weight training, you can't go wrong with tire flipping, deadlifting, box squats, push-up and pull-up variations. Along with core work and pre-hab for the ankles, knee, hips, lower back, shoulders, elbow and wrist.

As far as speed drills, we work hard on helping athletes learn the correct stance to run the 60 yard dash, along with the first step and how many steps a player should take in the 10 yard dash, along with the 60 itself. To often trainers, coaches and players just focus on running the whole 60. In two weeks we helped a player take a whole tenth off his 10 yard dash. We have taken 3 tenths off a players 60 just by getting faster in the 10 yard dash.
Along with the mentioned above we teach proper running mechanics, breathing and mental focus.(a big portion of a race against yourself)

Last component of training is G.P.P (general physical preparedness) which is basically preparation of an athlete's conditioning. There are tons of different ways to help a player get ready to run a 60 yard dash and the methods we use have helped dramatically. If you have ever ran a 60 you know your going to need a little extra conditioning. I also want to mention that people need to think outside the box, when I say conditioning that doesn't mean you put the cleats on and run numerous sprints or go for 2 mile jogs which are not uncommon in baseball.

With all this mentioned it is important that you are not just focusing on your son getting faster but also becoming a better baseball player. I hoped this helped.

Hard Work = Big Results

Jay Gonzalez has taken 6 tenths off his 60 yard dash time going from a 7.3 to a 6.7 in less than 8 weeks! Jay was the 2nd fastest baseball player out of 150 kids at a recent showcase along with being the fastest baseball player out of 50 kids last week at another event at Bethune Cookman College. Because of his improved speed and baseball ability Jay was offered a baseball scholarship right on the spot by Bethune Cookman College! He has even been approached by some pro teams! Jay will only be a Junior this year!!

We challenge any other facility in the Central Florida area to even come close to these results!

*A little side note we just had another young baseball player who's a sophomore take 3 tenths off his 60 yard dash time in one month!
