    Ense 2 As the basketball playoffs approach, one thing is for certain, another off- season is looming. That's when 6'10" Chris Ensminger cranks it up a notch... taking his training to the next level. He's been doing it all his life... in high school playing for Mike Price at Cincinnati Oak Hills High School.... in college at Valparaiso University, where he starred with Bryce Drew and played for Coach Homer Drew.... and then onto a professional career in the Euroleague and Bundesliga, where he presently plays for Paderborn Baskets. Throughout it all, one thing has remained a constant... his diligent, hard work and effort to prepare for the next season on the horizon....
    "ENSE" is a regular at The Workout @ Covington during the off-season, logging many a training session consisting of strength training, agility training, speed and quickness drills, core emphasis, and interval training.
    It's all part of the lifestyle for the 210 centimeter Ensminger.... preseason games and training...regular season and playoffs....then "we take a couple weeks off...come back to the United States.....and then start working 'immediately' once we're back in Cincinnati with Coach C and Ted Lambrinides at The Workout"

    ASAP~Athletic Strength And Power Video Interview with Florida Strength Coach Mickey Marotti

    DSC_0196 ASAP~Athletic Strength And Power took to the air last week for a road trip that covered Tampa Bay, then Sarasota to see Matt Krause and Bronson Arroyo at the Cincinnati Reds' spring training headquarters....and then on to Gainesville, Florida to attend the 4th Annual University of Florida Strength Clinic. First things first, if you find yourself in Gainesville, be sure to check out Ballyhoo Grill for dinner and too relax. More importantly, start your day off right with breakfast at the 43rd Street Deli. French Toast, Sweet Potato Pancakes.... traditional eggs and sausage..... you won't leave hungry!
    From there, it's on to the clinic. Of course, it was hosted by the University of Florida's Director of Strength & Conditioning, Mickey Marotti who joined us for an ASAP Podcast back in '07..... and his strength staff, who found a way to keep nearly 275 coaches and fitness professionals comfortable during their two days at the clinic. There was plenty of room for all in the 25,000 square feet training complex used by the Florida Gators football squad. The facility is an amazing complex housed in the depths of Ben Hill Griffin Stadium... known as "The Swamp" to Gator fans. And ASAP plans to take you behind the scenes this fall when the defending National Champions take to the field for 2009.
    Take a look at our exclusive ASAP Performance Video and hear direct from Coach Marotti and get a look  inside the Gator training center. Consider this video a "part One", as we'll  have more later.
