Deon's Superfit

Its all fun and games until.....

I have trained College athletes who have played at all levels across multiple sports. Yes, that even includes D1 athletes. And the common denominator? Their work ethic in the gym/on the field!

PSA 🗣🗣🗣🗣

Parents, we have to do a better job of teaching our kids to stick with their outside training. Becoming a top-level athlete is not just about practicing your skill all the time whether that shooting, pitching, hitting, throwing the football, dribbling, etc....

When you become a high-level athlete, such as a D1 athlete, is usually because you are extremely physically gifted and a super athlete. A lot of the times, the super athletes are developed, through their work ethic and their training. And no, I don't mean any offense when I say this, but that's not from the work they do with their High School coaches. In today's game, it's a lot of the work they do with their independent trainers/coaches.

Now let's focus on that last part. When you take your kid to a trainer at age 8 9 10 11, somewhere around there, then that is the beginning of the journey. It is not a quick fix, it's not a summer fix, it's not a seasonal fix, and it's not a one off season fix. It is the beginning of your journey that is going to last him for the next six seven eight nine 10 years until they are seniors in high school. If you bring your kids to a trainer for one summer, one season, one semester, and expect them to be developed into start athletes, then you are sorely mistaken. Please stop doing that! Because you are setting your kids up for failure.

Very few of us, at least the people I know that are on my facebook, have kids who are generationally gifted physically. I don't have anyone on my Facebook who has a kid that is 6'6 280 lbs and runs like Usain bolt. So that means, our kids have to work, and work hard! Sometimes twice as hard just to be better than someone who is equally as talented!

Moral of the story.... hiring a trainer is the beginning of your investment into your child, financially and timewise. It's no different than the investment you make in select baseball or AAU basketball or 7 on 7 football. They can't just play their sport year round and become the stars that they need to be. Top level athletes that you see on TV in the College World Series or the college football playoff or the NCAA tournament, those are top notch, some of them, world class athletes.

And parents of girls, please don't assume that I'm not talking to you. I am definitely talking to you as well. Your daughters need to train to be Top Notch at the lease every bit as the boys do. They can't just practice pitching or shooting or any of that all year round and not focus on becoming better athletes. At the latest season will carry your child much further than just being good at their one particular skill. I promise you that!

I good trainer, no wait, a great trainer gonna stay on yo a*z.... at ALL times...

Stop playing with me....
