On his comeback bid Andre Berto put it all together. Taking a page from good friend World Champion Andre Ward he came to Gamespeed for his pre fight conditioning as well as enlisting the masterful talents of Virgil Hunter and his crew in Okaland. The result of this potent training combination was a convincing win over Upsher and the first step of an exciting career for a boxer with a lot left in the tank.
All our best to Andre Berto in his upcoming fight this Sep 6th on Showtime. He’s been retooled, redesigned and rejuvenated with the help of Gamespeed and the awesome team of Virgil Hunter. Following in the steps of his close friend Andre Ward he’s got a winning combination. He was a joy to work with.
Her mom emailed the good news:
Hi Aaron,
Sorry not to write sooner but we were occupied with family business. We wanted to let you know Jackie became the first female Californian to make a USLacrosse team – yeah! It was unbelievably tough and the talent deep. She made a brilliant move at the last minute and changed positions in response to a tryout disadvantage and was able to overcome and play extremely well! It was so nerve wrecking!!
She was naturally exhausted!
I will send you the clubs press release soon.
Cheers,
Jereen Gilbert

Congrats to Daylee Dunn. The talented twelve year old placed 4th in her age division in the 800m Final. She was 11th overall in the 400m and 28th in the 80m hurdles. Daylee ran 2.19.00 in the 800m at the regional meet. Her 800m time would put her in the NCS list at #14 among high school athletes and she’s only in the 7th grade! Great job my “little one!”

Alyssa Brewer competing in her first national meet ran spectacularly. I would bet she was the most inexperienced runner in her 400m final. She placed 5th. Her semi final time of 56.69 would rank her 5th in NCS among this year high school athletes and definitely qualify her for the state meet. Guess what, shes only 13 years old.

Our Taiwanese connection Robin Hu continues to have a stellar minor league season. He put his head down and worked on a 5 day a week program with Aaron and coach Tony Lao. The result was a 95mph fast ball and he putting that work to use. Great job Robin.
The Midwest League announced Monday that Kernels pitcher Chih-Wei Hu has been named the Midwest League Pitcher of the Week for the period July 21-27.
In two starts, Hu allowed no earned runs (one unearned run) over 12 innings, walked three and struck out 16 while picking up the win in both starts.
The Twins signed Hu as a non-drafted free agent in 2012. The Taichung, Taiwan native pitched for the GCL Twins last season. He is 3-0 with a 1.50 ERA in […]
An ambidextrous pitcher is definitely a rarity. When Alex came to me he wanted to increase velocity in not one throwing arm but two. Well with hard work he did. He’s now found the perfect home for his unique talent and it sounds like a great fit. This story was posted on HS Sports Daily:
By: Trevor Hampton
Alexander Trautner, a 6-foot-3, 210 pound ambidextrous pitcher from San Ramon Valley High School has committed to the Creighton University Bluejays’ D1 baseball program out of Omaha, Nebraska.
Trautner had garnered interest from Kansas, Hawaii, and Utah Valley among other D1 baseball programs. However, Creighton University had special interest in him because of his unique ambidextrous pitching ability. The school in Omaha had previous success with nationally recognized ambidextrous pitcher, Pat Venditte, drafted twice during college, now pitching with the New York Yankees’ AAA organization.
While Trautner did have interest in warmer-climate D1 baseball programs, he felt Creighton’s previous experience in successfully developing a collegiate […]

Jeff accepted an offer from the Rhody’s and will join the squad this season. The fleet footed and athletic infielder had a solid season for the Mustangs. A constant hard worker in all facets of the game he took his junior year off from high school ball just to work on his body and athleticism at Gamespeed . He gained 20lbs and dropped his 60yd time by .4 tenths.
Congratulations to Gamespeed’s Johanna as the honors keep coming to this standout athlete. As well as being named Gatorades State Player of the Year she was named Cal Hi Sports Ms. Softball for 2014. Read on…..
It’s not a huge shock that the 2012 State Sophomore of the Year and the 2013 State Junior of the Year gets the numero uno position among California prep softball players this season, but nonetheless it wasn’t a slam dunk choice, either.
Johanna Grauer from Amador Valley of Pleasanton did everything she was asked both in the circle and at the […]
