On December 17, 2011 Explosive Sports Performance (ESP) hosted a special clinic for young athletes, parents and coaches. The clinic was designed to afford a rare opportunity to Learn and Train with the Pros. Attendees were invited to listen and learn from professional and college athletes what it takes to take their performance to the next level, how they achieved their success, and how they overcame adversity.

The day began with our visiting professional/college athletes taking the youth athletes in attendance through a series of drills, giving them a taste of what it is like to engage in top drills designed to enhance their performance.

The next phase of the clinic was a dialogue with the visiting athletes, who discussed with the young athletes their individual stories of overcoming adversity, achieving success, and making it to the top of their sport. The youth athletes had the chance to talk with the visiting athletes and ask questions about their life and how they achieved their dreams.

Attendees heard a variety of stories, ranging from athletes who were undersized and still managed to start for their college team, to players who suffered seemingly career-ending injuries, whose drive and determination finds them training for a chance to return to the NFL. They even had the opportunity to hear from a current ESP athlete in residence who has come to Central Pennsylvania from the University of Florida to train for his shot in the NFL.
