Athlete Testimonials
Adam Porterfield
Harwood Union HS – Varsity soccer
“With [Sports Performance Academy], I learned to push myself and find my body’s limits. I have taken this lesson to another context; I took it to defending in a soccer match. I have recently seen a lot of improvement in how effective I am defensively. I would previously jog and move intelligently to force the opponents back or towards one of my teammates. Now I am more aggressive, and I can flip a switch to press hard and still get back behind the ball. Another, more expected result would be my comfort in the gym. This was really my first experience with lifting weights, and I am so glad that I got it with your support. I never had the chance to formulate any bad habits. Now I am much more confident in my understanding of how to work out effectively.”
Louisa Thomsen
Harwood Union HS – Varsity soccer & hockey
“After working with Zach for a while, through group training programs as well as individualized workouts and training sessions, I saw myself grow so much. I noticed a huge difference in my speed and physicality in my soccer season after working out with him over the summer. Not only was I able to see big results on the field and the ice, but my mentality definitely changed and I grew more confident in myself. Even throughout an injury, Zach adapted to what I was able to do and he helped me stay conditioned and strong.”
