I have been playing ice hockey for eight years. During the past three years I improved with each passing season but I still lacked the jump and speed required to achieve the top levels of play. Through the ESP program, I have never felt more on top of my game than I do now. With “It’s Time”, there is more explosion in my skating and I have been winning more one on one battles for the puck. I have noticed a dramatic increase in my overall ability on the ice and my recovery time between shifts is phenomenal.

The people at ESP care about their athletes and really personalize each aspect of the individual’s programs. This is why I love coming here. They demand the most from each person while making it fun and rewarding. They identified my strengths and weaknesses and based on their evaluation, established a program specifically for my needs. I can honestly say that I would never have attained the level of play without their assistance.

As my junior year in high school came to an end, my basketball career was continuously fluctuating between being good and becoming great. My strengths lead my team to the first round of playoffs, but my weaknesses were still obvious enough to be exposed and exploited. Going into my senior year, I worked hard on my weaknesses and strengths, improving them equally. I averaged 20 points per game and 10 rebounds per game and advanced to the second round of Districts.

Although my senior year was a successful year, I felt I could have been a lot better for my team. My defense was my weakness on the court and Explosive Sports Performance helped me hone in on the weaknesses and improve them 100%. I will be attending 2001 (Northeast Conference Champions) Monmouth University on a full athletic scholarship. My quickness has improved tremendously as well as my strengths. In result to the hard work and specific workouts that are tailored to my preferred sport, great heights can be reached.

I began working with Dave in the middle of the summer of 2001 and I already have great results in just 3 months of work. I have gotten stronger, faster, and I have a higher vertical jump. I have become more flexible, and more confident on the basketball court. He has me enjoying coming to work out when I once hated it more than anything. He also works with you as an individual, instead of a large group. I would encourage working with Dave to anyone.

My experience in training with Dave Brixius has turned into a great investment physically, mentally, and emotionally. Dave has personally helped me create a balance in my life. I started working out with Dave to prepare myself for Division I College Football. Without a doubt in my mind I feel ready to make this big jump in my life. Physically Dave has helped me become more explosive, quicker, faster, stronger, and more knowledgeable about my own body! I have gained 15 pounds of solid muscle mass and have also put 200 plus pounds on my squat in just over 4 months! Mentally he has helped me focus my energy in being disciplined and concentrate on the details, like correct technique and the importance of resting my body for the correct amount of time. Dave has been a great asset in helping me reach my maximum potential.

In the transition period from High School to College there are many tools that I feel I needed in order to prepare for the next level. Although I did improve a great bit through the years in High School, I still have a lot of weaknesses that need to be polished up. That’s why when Dave offered his new workout program to me it was right on point. When I met with him in April I could tell from the interview that he knew exactly what he was doing. He mentioned all of my weak areas and offered methods to improve them. In order to be effective at the next level he mentioned working on my hands, shoulders, knees, strength, speed and coordination. So we began to get ready to work right away.

As the summer of 2001 is coming to a close, I feel a lot more confident now that I have been working on my weaknesses. Through the workout sessions that I have experienced at Explosive Sports Performance I can tell a difference in my skills. Dave has turned right into all of my weaknesses and has showed me how to prevent them in the future. It has given me a sense of hope that if I keep up the hard work, anything I put in my mind can be accomplished. Also, the atmosphere at Explosive Sports Performance has been great. Many determined athletes come from all over the area to workout and reach their goals. They are always there pushing themselves and encouraging each other. That’s the atmosphere that I have found worked best for me. Well, in conclusion I would like to thank Dave for everything and I recommend this program to anyone.
