Matt D. started training with us a few months back and his father was very concerned about his speed and wondered a little why we wouldn't do specific speed training with his son immediately. After his father listened to our approach he was ready to see results! After Matt developed a good base of relative body strength we eased him into our deceleration and acceleration program and the results were amazing!
Matt's football team tested 40 yard dashes the first day of practice and Matt was the fastest kid! Not to mention jumped a 36" Box Jump along with a 19" Vertical Jump at our facility!! To say the training paid off is an understatement. Matt also convinced his Dad to have him stay in our program even through the football season! Makes me wonder about all the High School kids who say they don't have enough time.
Not bad for a 12 year old!
Derrick Z. has been working hard as well increasing his strength, power, speed and flexibility he also has jumped on a 36" plyo box (video below) with a 21" Vertical Jump with little weight training yet increasing his athleticsm and self esteem.
*Just a side note Derrick's older brother Mitchell has packed on over 15lbs. of muscle!
Last kid, I want to mention is Jared Bernhardt a.k.a. Baby Bernhardt who walked in our gym with his brothers Jake and Jesse (Lacrosse All-Americans) and bet me he could bust out 12 chin-ups! I of course didn't believe him so he walked over to the 2" thick pull-up bar and busted out 10! If we had a skinny bar I'm pretty sure he could have done 5 more! After that we tested his Vertical Jump and he jumped a 19" Vertical jump, to say I couldn't believe it is an understatement the family are truly genetic freaks!
