My Clients Give Me 5 GREAT Reasons To Do Speed Training

This has been a pretty good week for me from a client interaction standpoint. I received 5 emails from clients or their parents about how happy they are with the improvements they have seen since they started training with us. I thought I would share some of their comments with you. I'll be honest, I can't remember exactly how many of them have stated whether or not they would like to be used for testimonials, so I'm just going to keep their last names out of this and not give too many details about their personal information.

  • "Great news. I ran a 4.55 at the combine today (in the 40) and I feel like the main reason I lowered my time so much was because of the training we do. I really appreciate all of your help. See you this week." - Jake R. Jake is a football player for one of Central Ohio's better football programs. He and his brother had trained with us a couple years ago and he started back with us to really fine tune his speed. He is a real hard worker and a good kid.
  • "By the way- she did really well this weekend at the tournament. Her running was better technique-wise and her confidence was noticeably improved. Thanks for all the work you have done with Megan!" - Megan's mother. She is a soccer player that has been working with us all winter to improve her speed. A lot of her issues did come down to technique and she has really worked hard to drop her bad habits and develop new ones with proper running form. I really like the "confidence" statement. Yes, people sign with us to improve speed, but it is also about developing one's confidence to feel they can compete at a high level. Obviously, her mother felt this hard work has paid off.
  • "Thought you'd like to know that Samuel made the 7th grade baseball team. The cuts were last Wednesday. He is very pleased and mentioned to us that he credits his work with you for a big part of what made him successful. Thanks for all you've done." - Samuel's father. Sam also worked with us all winter and made big strides in his improvement. He dropped some weight, improved his technique, and got faster and more confident with his athletic abilities. I hope he has a great baseball season this spring.
  • "Hannah had a great meet last weekend. She hit 4 for 4. Her vault was amazing. She will be excited to tell you about it." - Hannah's mother. Hannah is a gymnast and came to us specifically to improve her speed on her vault. Our training carries over into other events for her, but she has been really happy with her progress this winter. Several weekends ago, Hannah told me she got first overall in her age group at one of her meets. Awesome!!
  • "By the way, Mara had a terrific race this past Saturday. She competed in the 1600 and ran a 5:21 which qualified her for the State meet this Saturday in Akron. She is now ranked 9th in the State for the indoor 1600. Pretty cool!" - Mara's mother. Mara and I have been working online and skyping once a week to keep her progressing with her program. She doesn't live close to our Dublin location, so we met once and then have done the skype thing weekly. She has stuck to the program I created and we have adjusted it as her indoor season has progressed. She's looking forward to having a great meet this Saturday at states.
  • "Thanks a lot." That is from Pickerington North coach Dave Butcher as I sent him a congratulatory note for making the state semis. I had worked with the Lady Panthers for 4 years prior to this year and my move to Dublin. So, I wish them well and hope they can take home the big trophy this weekend.

All these comments happened within the last week. It is pretty exciting knowing that you have helped an athlete accomplish some of their goals, that they maybe didn't think was possible a few months back. Each one of those athletes played different sports, came to us for similar reasons, and were ecstatic for very different reasons. I think that is GREAT! I'll be looking forward to helping more of you in the upcoming months.

Hope you enjoy St. Patrick's Day, the NCAA tourney, and cheering on your favorite team (go Bucks!) to the Final Four.
