Matteo has been an unbelievable trainer for me and I'm very thankful for all the
work he put in. I was hesitant to start training mid-season this year but I
really needed to improve if I wanted a starting position on my university team in
the fall. Matteo was very flexible in allowing our sessions to be lighter before
games and practices and to work me to the bone on off days. The start of our
training consisted of conditioning, and preparing me for the muscle-building
phase. For me, this was the most difficult as I left most sessions barely able to
lift my arms. Although exhausted after many sessions, I was impressed with the
variation of exercises Matteo had for me each day. The muscle-building was a
little less of a struggle as it consisted of higher weights but low reps. The
long breaks gave me a chance to relax enough to go full out for the next set.
I really began noticing a change in my shape around this stage and felt that Iwas
really getting stronger, but I was most excited for the sport specific training
that was to come. The plyometric part of our training was thoroughly enjoyable,
hopping, jumping, and band training was fun and it worked. I was astonished at
the change in my vertical and I plan on continuing the plyo- training on my own
while I go to school. In such a short time I feel I've improved so much and I'm
incredibly confident going into my school pre-season training. Thanks Matteo for
all your help, and I hope to see you in the stands from the field, because that's
where I'll be.

Thanks buddy,
Mike
