ATHLETIC STRENGTH AND POWER

Time For Some Hard Work? How About Ken Mannie's Approach?

There's always plenty that you can do to jump start your training program. One way would be to get down to one of several of "The Workout" Training facilities. In Cincinnati, Ohio there's Hyde Park, Adam's Landing, Western Hills or in Northern Kentucky... The Workout @ Covington. Also, the Tampa, Florida location is very popular at The Athletic Performance Center where Scott Savor trains many high performance athletes.

Of course, there are plenty of coaches and trainees who don't live in proximity of of one of our training centers...yet still want the latest insights and opinions from the ASAP~Athletic Strength And Power network. Due to the technology of the internet, we get requests for information from all reaches of the world! Without a doubt, some of our more popular blogposts are those with the Ken Mannie influence. Coach Mannie, the Head Strength & Conditioning Coach of Michigan State University is on the ASAP Advisory Board.

Today's post features a pdf download from a recent POWERLINE segment that appeared in Coach & Athletic Director. We're sure you'll enjoy this one entitled "Strength Training's Bottom Lines."

CHOOSING TO WIN !!!

While there are certainly enough
factors in physical improvement that
are out of our control (e.g., genetically-
based road blocks), there are
enough controllable variables for us
to corral and use to our benefit....... Ken Mannie

LaRosa's MVP's No Strangers to ASAP Training

  In Cincinnati, it almost seems that if you're not having a "three-way" chili at a Skyline Chili Restaurant, you're probably ordering a pizza from LaRosa's. Both restaurants have a strong affliliation with high school sports in Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky. LaRosa's features high school athletes in a special MVP website  and through photos that are enshrined in their restaurants.

Interestingly, many of these athletes have found their way to The Workout at Covington and ASAP training over the years...including recent Kentucky high school stars Nicole Staverman (Notre Dame Academy) and Cody Elliott (Beechwood High School).

Keep up the Hard Work and Congratulations Nicole and Cody!!

Notre Dame Academy's (Covington, KY) Katie Tierney

Katie Tierney has been a big story lately in both the The Cincinnati Enquirer, The Kentucky Enquirer and The Cincinnati Post. She attends Covington, Kentucky's Notre Dame Academy and her comeback from a completely torn ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) has been nothing but hard work, perseverance and dedication. While many high school kids were spending their summer working at their particular endeavors, at the pool or hanging out with friends, Katie found herself many hours at The Workout @ Covington. "The Workout" is Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky's premier training center for athletes of all levels.
