WRESTLING

Bishop McDevitt High School

Playing football in Europe is quite different than playing football in America. I am playing and coaching for the Steelers, a team that is part of the American Football Association of Finland. If it wasn’t for the physical and mental training I endured while training at EXSP, I would not have been able to overcome the effects of jet lag, dehydration, and exhaustion in my game two days after arriving in Finland. Training with Dave was the best decision I made when I came back home to train from college. I am now more explosive, stronger, and faster. Explosive Sports Performance is the real deal! Thanks DAVE!

After my freshman year at Robert Morris University and playing for their NCAA Division I Ice Hockey Team, I decided I wanted to maximize my potential and improve myself as a hockey player. From the first day I stepped in the gym, EXSP has provided me with the best opportunity to improve and develop the strength and quickness that I need geared specifically toward my sport. Dave Brixius and his staff kept me motivated and focused, while helping push me to that next level each and every day.

 

What I enjoy most about EXSP is the facility, because here I am able to work on all areas of my off-ice training in one location without the distractions in a general public gym. In the upcoming fall I will be a senior at RMU, and since that first summer at EXSP I have not only started in every game for my team the past 2 years, but have also developed into what it means to be a Division I athlete. Each year I attribute that success to how well I have been prepared at the beginning of each season due to the amount of work I have put in during the off-season at EXSP. I look forward to EXSP helping me continue that success into my final year of school and possibly beyond with a professional hockey career.
