More About Coach Bobby

Coach Bobby learned a long time ago that success in sports comes down to mastering the moments.  The moments come down to specific movements that are prevalent in that sport.  And the moments come down to the mental preparation needed to be ready for those moments.  Coach Bobby's program involves a proprietary training system (that he created) called Explosive Endurance and motivational speaking skills that help athletes get the most out of their abilities and talents.

 

Purpose & Passion

Training athletes, young or old, is about PURPOSE and PASSION.  If you are able to show them the purpose of what they are doing, and give TO them the same passion you expect FROM them, they'll run through walls for you!

Strong, Fast, and Quick..
..when it matters

One of the most unique things about Coach Bobby's training program is its simplicity and specificty.  Little time is wasted.  Everything has purpose, even the warm-up and cool-down.  Athletes, especially in sports like football and basketball, train to be strong, fast, and quick when they are tired.  It is at those times when speed, strength, and quickness are most often needed.  Yet, most athletes don't train that way, choosing instead to perform weightlifting when rested and doing cardiovascular work at a steady rate.  Training for explosive endurance is what makes the difference on game day.

 
 

Mindset and MORE

Sports teams hire motivational speakers like Eric Thomas or Inky Johnson all the time.  They do it because they understand the importance of mindset.  Coach Bobby is trained as a motivational speaker.  He brings that to his strength and conditioning program in a way that helps athletes identity their reason for greatness.  Through his program, athletes become better and teams become closer.
