Searching for the Alpha

I think that I have always been in search of the Alpha Athlete. Going back to the mid 1990’s when I began training athletes, long before I named the company ‘Alpha’, I was looking to train a certain kind of athlete.

I was searching for the Alpha.

When I talk about Alpha Athletes, I’m not just talking about athletic prowess. I’m talking about the athletes that show up and go a million mph, practicing at gamespeed.  I’m taking about the ones who show up to training sessions and lift and execute drills with a PURPOSE.

This search for me never stops. It is something special to watch an Alpha train, as they diligently and with purpose attack and execute the very training session that I design for them.

They lift, push sleds, explode on Vertimax’s and step through agility ladders like they are competing with themselves.

They are DRIVEN.

I’m gonna keep searching for Alpha’s. I’m gonna keep setting up challenging training sessions for them to execute and compete against. Then watch as their PLAY mirrors how they TRAIN.

The search continues:)
