Athletic Preparation

I have been so happy with the progress, even a few short months in, that my 13 year old son has made working with Josh at AP. At first I was just hoping to improve my son’s running gait. I wanted to see if we could gain him a little more speed for travel soccer, but quickly I realized Josh’s program is such a wholistic training program, that the training with AP isn’t just going to improve his soccer abilities (or any of his other sports) but it lays the groundwork for being a healthy and strong person for potentially my son’s entire life. Josh is able to use and teach lifting techniques/excercises with the kids, in a safe crawl/walk/run model that employs core athletic principles like time under tension, progressive overload, specificity, variation… etc, all while making it fun. Even though I understand true significant progress takes time and consistency, in just a short time I have seen noticeable differences in my son’s ability to generate power for sprinting and his functional strength. Lastly, while I would gladly give Josh/AP a positive review based solely on watching my own son’s progress, the greatest compliment I could probably give Josh after watching him train kids for the last few months is you can easily and without a doubt pick out the kids who have been training with him the longest, they stand out. Sometimes it can be subtle, more than just being faster and stronger, but they more focused, have better form, are more efficient in their movements, and are more intentional with every repetition. I look forward to seeing where he can take my son in the future.
