March/April
Athletes of the Month
|
|
 The
goal of any athletic endeavor is a positive result. For the March and
April Athletes of the Month, the results speak for themselves.
Julian Clark, the March Athlete of the Month, and April's
Athlete of the Month, Stephen Slaten, are both perfect examples of what
hard work and dedication can achieve.
Slaten, a 13-year-old eighth grader from Parkview Middle
School in Yucaipa, has used his sixth-plus weeks at Adrenaline to
REALLY improve his test results. In that time, Slaten has improved in
all testing categories, including a five-inch improvement in the
vertical jump (15" to 20"), a 3.5-inch improvement in the
power-ball toss (19 to 22.5) and four-tenths of a second improvement in
the 20-yard shuttle (5.68 to 5.28).
Most impressive among Slaten's improvement is his 40-yard
dash time, which improved from 6.50 to 6.12. That's nearly four-tenths
of a second!
"Stephen has great energy," Director of Training
Leonard Russell said. "He always comes in ready to work and shows
great improvement everyday. He's really become comfortable in the
weight room."
 So
comfortable that Slaten has gained four pounds.
Like Slaten, Julian Clark has really grown into his own at
Adrenaline.
A 14-year-old basketball player from Riverside King, Clark
has made great strides in a short time.
"When he first came in he was a bit awkward,"
said Russell. "Now he's one of the elite high school athletes. I
use him all the time to demonstrate proper form and technique."
Clark, who Russell says has a great sense of humor, spends
his off time hanging out with friends, looking for the next good time.
"I always see him at the movies," Russell said.
"He loves life and it shows."
Congratulations to both Stephen and Julian for their work
hard work and dedication. The staff at Adrenaline Athletic Training
thanks you for efforts and hopes it will result in success in all your
athletic endeavors!
