Alhambra High shortstop Kylee Perez orally commits to UCLA softball after just her freshman season

Kylee has had an incredible season. Coming off knee surgery in mid November she came to Gamespeed to do some post rehab work to regain her movement along with her speed and agility. After progressing well with our program she went on to have a spectacular season as the DFAL league MVP. Her early commitment reminds me of GS athlete Cheyenne Cordes the California Gatorade athlete of the year who as a freshman verbally committed to CAL and will be headed there this September.

Alhambra High’s Kylee Perez still has three years of high school softball left but has already made her college choice.

The incoming sophomore shortstop gave an oral commitment to UCLA on Monday, picking the Bruins over a handful of other Pac-12 programs.

“It was the best fit for me,” Perez said. “I chose UCLA because of the academics and athletic tradition. Also, the coaches were exactly what I was looking for. I’ve had UCLA in mind for a while. I took a visit there and it was definitely a fit for me.”

Perez made a big impression in her first year of high school softball, batting […]

Carl Steward ‘In Our Backyard’: Masters sprinter Aaron Thigpen practices what he preaches

Carl Steward ‘In Our Backyard’: Masters sprinter Aaron Thigpen practices what he preaches

By Carl Steward

Oakland Tribune columnist

When you run a sports performance training center, it always helps to practice what you preach. With that in mind, Aaron Thigpen’s best advertisement for his company, Gamespeed, is himself.

At 46, Thigpen is arguably the fastest man in the world for his age, even though he was edged at the tape in the 45-49 age group 100-meter final by Italy’s Mauro Graziano at last week’s World Masters Athletics Championships in Sacramento.

Thigpen had an explanation for getting run down at the finish line. Because of nagging Achilles tendon and hamstring issues, he wasn’t able to train for 10 weeks and essentially went into the World Masters 100 cold. Yet he still was the fastest American at 11.38 seconds — well off a 10.94 that he ran in March before his injuries — and was an eyelash from winning the gold.

“Losing that bit of training time took just enough fitness off me where I was rusty,” he said. “I got to about 90-95 meters in that 100 after two other days of prelim sprinting, and I […]

Nick Candau Selected to u16 & u18 Junior national Water Polo Teams

San Ramon Valley athlete Nick Candau has been selected to two USA Waterpolo teams. He made both the u16 and the older u18 group. A force in the water Nick was one of the Wolves leading scorers this year. He has also played internationally just as recently as last summer in Italy. He is also catching the eye of DI programs such as Pepperdine and UCLA. Nick comes to Gamespeed for an intense “Dryland” program designed to help him in the water. The program targets leg strength, core, shoulders and explosiveness. .

Hockey: Ethan Stibich Stars in Carmen Starr Tourney

Dynamo Ethan Stibich plays for Wild 2000. In the Carmen Starr AAA hockey tournament last month his performance ranked  #2 in his division in overall stats. He had 2 assists and 7 goals in just 5 games. His performance  sandwiched him in between the #1 (8 g/3 a) and #3 (6 g/ 1 a) players who happen to play for  the top two teams in California, so he was in good company.

Ethan (11years old) has been involved in a customized “Dryland” program designed specifically for the demands of Hockey.  He does leg strength and power workouts for speed and acceleration on the ice, core rotation for passes and shots and impact training to handle collisions.

A special shout out to his little bro “Matty” who is another little dynamo!
