Softball: Freshman Kiara Garcia making presence known for OSU Beavers

A freshman shortstop at Oregon State Kiara Garcia hit the game winning RBi in the bottom of the eighth inning to help the Beavers win in pre-season action. Kiara has been a Gamespeed athlete since the age of twelve where she has worked on speed and agility to enhance her fielding skills. Just this past January she was in our Athletic Infiiedler class honing those skills which made her a Oregon State five star recruit.

Baseball: Craig Massoni Drops Half second off 60 yd dash time!

Craig Massoni first baseman for the Chabot College baseball team put in an intense summer of training at Gamespeed working on every facet of his game. He had a structured  four day a week workout regiment.  The first display of his effort cam in the form of a “HALF SECOND” drop in his 60 yard dash time. He went from 7.2 to 6.75!!! He emailed me the news:

“Hey Aaron. I just wanted to let you know I ran my first 60 since our workouts this summer. I ran a 6.75. I just wanted to let you know and thank you and Mike for all your help. Can’t wait to get back in and workout ASAP.”

Thanks Craig Massoni

Great job Craig its only the beginning of what will be a breakout season.

Track: Early Season Testing

Well its about that time. Time to get started on your off season training. Most who know me understand I’m not a big tester.  But for those of you who want hard numbers on how to evaluate where you are,  you can perform some fairly good tests to see at what point you are in your development.

Listed below are some tests you can perform to give you a better picture of your development. Periodic testing can be informative but it is not the last word. Some people are great testers but can’t perform on the track. I’ve listed some general parameters found in developmental and elite level athletes. Use these as a guide to shoot for but don’t use them as a pass/fail mechanism. Compare your improvement with yourself.

 Acceleration

  • Assume three point or track stance, when ready sprint to desired mark, the timer starts on the first movement (generally the hand). Record 2-3 trials.
  • 10,20, or 30yd Fly: This entails marking the appropriate distance and have the athlete approach at full speed and run through the distance 10,20 or 30m at full speed. Time the distance for a maximum speed score. Perform three trials and record the best score. Parameters for 20m […]

“I’ve worked with Jair for about twenty years now. We’ve  traveled internationally to work with coaches and athletes. Jairs strengths are that he has a great teaching touch with athletes and a way of communicating techniques easily. I’m no socccer coach but I like how he doesn’t restrict the athlete and make them robots but helps the athlete develop their own rhythm and flow to execute movements which results in a more athletic and capable player.”

Opening Day of the Latin American Baseball Classic, Nkosi Djehuti-Mes was in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, playing his first game on foreign soil after a baseball-filled summer.

The 6-foot-1, 200-pound star of the 14-and-under American team stepped to the plate in the last inning of regulation. With two outs, the bases loaded and the score tied, Djehuti-Mes was in position to knock in the winning run.

Football: Ed Achziger Dublin High Quarterback CC Times Athlete of the Week

Congratulations to Ed Achziger. The second year starting quarterback and member of the Dublin high track team is leading his team to a 2-0 start. Ed is a great competitor and its great to see him get some notice. What I like even more is his main offensive weapons are his track teammates. The same guys who won the schools first conference championship in track last season are taking their winning ways to the gridiron. Guess where the Dublin track team trains?

THE STAT LINE: Achziger led the Gaels (2-0) to a 53-6 nonleague rout of visiting Galt, completing 8 of 11 passes for 261 yards and four touchdowns. He also ran 9 yards for a score and ran for a two-point conversion. Achziger’s effort was highlighted by touchdown strikes of 85, 62 and 45 yards.

This will be a break out season for the overlooked Achzinger.

Static Stretching Benefits Occur after Workout Activity

When to stretch still seems to be a common question from athletes and parents.  At Gamespeed we start with a dynamic warmup  using semi -ballistic full range movements to prepare the body for intense activity. Static stretching is done during the workout as needed but generally reserved for post workout cool down.

Some recent findings done by Duane Knusdon a professor for Human Performance at Texas State  validates our process. He doesn’t speak of “in workout” static stretching but does advise the post workout aspect. Based on his research he sets some helpful stretching recommendations that I think are solid guidelines. Most of you who know me, know I don’t deal in absolutes there’s always more  than one road to doing things but it gives a great start:

  1. Frequency: Static stretch should be performed a minimum three times per week. Preferably daily after vigorous activity. On off days I like to see either an early morning or bed time stretch session.

  2. Intensity: The appropriate intensity is to slowly stretch and hold the elongated muscle groups at low force levels. In other words don’t move into the stretch too fast  and don’t […]
