Gamespeed product Robert Stephenson is back again for his off season pitchers conditioning program at GS. In his seventh year of GS training with Aaron Thigpen he is closer than ever in his goal to reach the big leagues. He was very close this year but the organization wanted to see have more innings. He will be ready.
Latest story on Robert:
Redsblog:
No decision has been made — Reds manager Bryan Price wanted to make that clear — but connect the dots, and it sure seems the Reds, or Price at least, want top prospect Robert Stephenson joining the team when rosters expand in September.
Stephenson was scheduled to return from the disabled list at Triple-A Louisville on Thursday. He’s been on the DL since suffering cramps in his throwing wrist on Aug. 12.
The right-hander is not currently on the 40-man roster, but will have to be added this offseason anyway.
“Those are conversations I’ll have with (general manager) Walt (Jocketty) when we finalize the roster of guys that are coming up,” Price said. “I […]

2016 Olympic hopeful Marlo (Deon) Moore this years silver medalist at the USA Boxing national Championships is bringing his dream for a gold medal to Gamespeed. Following in the footsteps of the last local American gold medalist Andre Ward he is using a similar formula. Under the direction of the notable Virgil Hunter he has added a customized boxing conditioning program with Aaron Thigpen at Gamespeed.
The USA men’s boxing teams haven’t won gold in more than a decade and haven’t taken home a medal since 2008.
Brandon Glanton and Marlo Moore are both dreaming of gold.
Glanton and Moore each won super heavyweight semifinals (over 201 pounds) on Friday to qualify for the U.S. Olympic boxing trials.
Deontay Wilder was the last American male to win an Olympic medal and the same boxer brought a heavyweight title back to American shores.
Wilder won bronze in the Olympics in 2008 and defeated Bermane Stiverne in January to claim the WBC belt, the first heavyweight title for an American since […]

I’ll be frank, one of the most common issues I am increasingly observing in the areas athletes is a lack of “physicality”.
Over the past twenty one years Ive been in this business I can say our kids are skilled but there’s something missing physically. Rest assured if their behind at age 12 or 13 they are likely to be behind at 17 and 18 years of age.
Here’s how I define “Physicality“:

Palsha, 23, was drafted by the Mets in round 27 of the 2014 MLB Amateur Draft out of California State University at Sacramento. He made his professional debut that season, pitching for both the Kingsport Mets and GCL Mets out of the bullpen, posting a 1.06 ERA in 17 innings with 11 saves over the two combined levels. The right-hander was assigned to the Brooklyn Cyclones for the 2015 season and has been even more successful. Through 16 games and 18.2 innings, Palsha has not allowed a single run, converting 11 saves in the process. He […]
