Speed up fat loss, power up your core & rip a phone book in half

For those of you that know me and have have seen me, you obviously know that I'm not what you would call the"Athletic body type". A matter of fact I'm 5'6" (on a good day) and what I would consider a slightly above average athlete. However, throughout my sporting career I excelled at football and lacrosse at the high school level and then continued to play lacrosse at a division 3 college that was ranked in the top 15 every year I was there (top 5 my junior year).

So, how does a 5 foot nothing (now bald) kid with average speed and descent strength have success in athletics?

It's called training hard and working harder!!!!

You See, I knew I was smaller, sometimes slower, and not always as skilled as my opponents. I knew I need an edge. For me that edge was training!!! I knew I needed to train to get faster, more agile, stronger, and more powerful. What I didn't know was the right ways to do it!!! I have worked out my whole life trying to create my small 5'6" frame into a finely tuned athletic machine.

The only problem was my hard work and training wasn't as effective as It could have been. I have suffered some injuries here and there (torn hamstrings, quads, bad ankle sprains) that could have been prevented. They could have been prevented if I trained the proper way.

If I knew then what I know now I think things would have been a bit different. I think I could have prevented some of the injuries throughout training and conditioning.

That's why I am here today. That's why Optimal performance now exists. I truly have a passion for helping athletes get better. It doesn't matter what age or level, I have devoted my life to learning the best ways to increase sports performance and decrease injury. I have developed a system that is guaranteed to work ( our success rate at Optimal Performance is outstanding), and it all starts with developing the complete athlete from the ground up. The Optimal Performance Training System is based on science not the current fads, trends or "new cool things to do". Our training system takes the individual athlete - screens them - lasers in on their individual limitations and build on their already built strengths...

It's a no fail plan.

Remember I am here to help you achieve athletic success!!!
