The message was clear & consistent, Leave a Legacy & Defend the Standard. To see it come together and to be a small part of it, man so surreal. So much adversity this group had to overcome that will go unnoticed by many, but this group never flinched & stood tall on foreign soil!

Truly a program/school award. Alignment is a word I like to use. Fortunate to have great administration, great coaches, great players, great parents, and a great family at home. We don’t do what we do without the support everyone.

It has been a gamechanger so far! Each player will have a tailored program aimed at their unique strengths & weaknesses. Prioritizing proper mechanics to keep the guys safe & healthy. Realtime feedback to keep players motivated & engaged, pushing them to maximize each rep.
We're excited to be partnering with Vitruve. An off-season focused on movement speed and power. Not only building strength, but enhancing each player’s individual recovery, giving real time feedback, and quantifying their progress. Are you “working out” or “training”? Let’s HUNT!
