Athletes come in all sizes.
Some great news from our biggest and smallest athletes this week.
Elliot Hoyte (6’5″, 120kg) American Football Defensive End, has won a full scholarship to Boise State College in the USA.
Elliot has been working on his pre combine training programme. Unlike most athletes I train who need to be a lot bigger, Elliot had this already. We looked at getting a solid foundation of athletic movement, and then applying strength and power around that.
A lot of what we did was new to Elliot, and against perceived old school (and teenage boy) wisdom. But Elliot grasped the concept, applied himself and has succeeded in getting into college. His new college conditioning coach is also looking to work on overall athleticism. Well done Elliot.
Krysten Coombs (quite short, 45kg) has won a bronze medal in the World Championships in Guatemala for Dwarf Badminton.
I have been training Krysten for 3 years with Excelsior.
Krysten is a dual sport athlete, being very good at table tennis too. He is looking to qualify for the Paralympics in 2016 in Brazil.
He is also the reigning 100m and 200m champion at the World Dwarf games.
One of the best things about my work is the variety of people I come in contact with.
Even better, is helping them along their way.

I have been working with James since September 2009, with a history of becoming injured in winter months our main goal was to over come this and help my core/hip area to become more stable thus enabling me to run at my full potential. Not only have I made it through the winter months without gaining the usual knee injuries I have also improved my performance to currently become one of the top ranked athletes.
