NOTE: Class times will only be held on Monday and Wednesday of this week. This is my last week of volleyball so expect more days of class in the weeks to come.


Congratulations and Good Luck to Foothill High School Varsity Basketball. This motivated group of hardwood athletes grinded their way through another preseason with Performance Quest Fitness & Athletics. This group did a phenomenal job increasing their work capacity on all accounts. It will be a pleasure to watch these guys take the floor this season.

For their last preseason workout they conquered one of my favorite workouts. In this workout, appropriately named "Atlas", it feels like you are carrying the weight of the world on you shoulders. Though it sounds simple on paper there are a number of lessons to be learned from the tasks which must be accomplished. Two of the biggest lessons, and arguably a couple of the most important lessons an athlete can possibly learn in a gym, are those of midline stability and center of mass as it relates to body control and bar positioning.



Are you able to spot any midline stabilization faults in these pictures or do they all show excellent midline development and bar positioning?


With how well they came together as a team off the court I'm excited to see what actually happens on the court

Good luck this season Foothill Basketball. Thank you for a hard-working preseason.
