400# Back Squat @ 19

Hello Everyone,

Athletes are getting dirty here at AGMC's Sports Performance!

On Monday we had one of our (recently turned) 19 year old athletes Back Squat 400 lbs for 2 reps. Now, this wasn't a "box" or "parallel" squat... this was a butt below the calves, almost to the floor back squat! It was awesome!

Do you want to get stronger? More powerful?

Do you want to train where top Northeast Ohio high school and college athletes are Back Squatting 400 lbs?

We get results. PERIOD.

What You Missed

Hello Everyone,

Below is the final slide of my presentation on "Teaching & Coaching the Clean". Visually it speaks volumes about why the clean can lead to increased athletic performance.

How much better of an athlete could you be if you were stronger and more powerful?

Akron General Sports Performance

Hello Everyone!


My new position as a Head Sports Performance Coach at Akron General is going great!

I'm really impressed with the level of athletes (mostly high school) I am working with. Many of them will surely being playing collegiate.

The adults in our Adult Performance groups are loosing weight, building muscle, and reaching personal goals.

What I am loving most is the high level of co-workers (coaches) I am surrounded by. Everyday we strive to get better... we challenge each other... together we make ourselves and our program better.

Watch out Northeast Ohio, there's something huge brewing at Akron General's Sports Performance!

Farwell & Thanks UNCG!

Hello Everyone!

It is with mixed feelings that I say Goodbye to UNCG. It was a great honor and privilege to work with all of UNCG's 13 sports over the 07-08 year.

The athletes are not just hard-working, talented players, but also amazing people.

I am very grateful to have received so many thanks, cards, letters, and photos over the past week as I prepare to leave for my new position as a Sports Performance Coach at Akron General Hospital in Akron, Ohio. My biggest regret is knowing that I will not be at UNCG next season to watch the teams dominate the SoCon (as I know they will).

A team-signed shirt I received from the 07-08 UNCG Women's Tennis Team. :)

Keep checking UNCG's website over the 08-09 year... it will be full of great & exciting achievements!

Keep Training!

Are YOU Good Enough to be an "Athlete of the Week"

Hello Everyone!

It's one thing to workout...and it's a whole different thing to TRAIN! During this past semester at UNCG we (the Speed, Strength & Conditioning Department) started an "Athlete of the Week" contest.

We wanted to reward those athletes that pushed themselves and their teammates. Those athletes that came in everyday wanting to get better. Those athletes that raised the bar for not only themselves, but those around them. Those athletes that want it more than everyone else.

Just some of this semester's ATHLETES OF THE WEEK at UNCG.

Do you work hard enough to be considered "athlete of the week" material? Do you walk into the gym saying, "I'm going to give it all I got"? Do you motivate not only yourself, but your teammates as well?

Its easy to just go and workout, it takes someone special to train.

Keep TRAINING!
