Zach started training at goperformance in the Winter of 2017. Zach is a senior at Trinity Christian School.

From Coach Lane

He trained through Lacrosse Season and through Football Season. Many athletes choose not to train during their season but Zach didn’t use being “in-season” as an excuse to stop working out. When athletes stop working out, they lose strength, decrease power, lose speed and increase their risk of injury.

Due to Zach’s commitment and desire for improvement, he chose to continue training while in season and has gotten great results. His training has translated to the field really well. He’s averaging more than 125 rushing yards per game this season over the past four games.

Zach loves working out and training. He truly has a desire to improve and enjoys the process. He has high expectations for his own improvement and he gets angry when he misses the mark. Most kids that hold themselves to a high standard tend to do well and improve at a faster rate.

As he closes out the football season, I hope that he continues to be a team player and injury free.
