If you could take a moment out of your day to vote for the Erik Widmark for the Arizona Sports Hall of Fame. Erik was the long time Executive Director for the Grand Canyon State Games. He spent a majority of life helping out youth athletes. From his days as a athlete, to coach, and then onto as an Administrator. He always thought of the athletes and their families. Wid is a great man and I am happy to know him and have worked with him for over 12 years.

Fitness Client shows skills in Weightlifting

I also wanted to give a big shout out to Kristen Ferranti. Kristen has adopted our Athletic Sports Performance Mindset and has taken to the Olympic Lifts with great ease. She has shown a glimpse of interest in the lifts and I may program them more into her workout. She battled hard today in her conditioning session and she kept going despite wanting to die. With time she will reach all her goals. Keep it up girl you did a great job today. I tried to kill you but you hung in there.
