Arianna Erceg
 
Arianna is one of the best, high school pitchers in the country(ESPN). Cinco de Mayo, she pitched a No Hitter against league rival Redondo. She came one walk away from a perfect game. To top things off she blasted another home run, her 5th this season. She is ready for the Pac 10 . Arianna is excited to be going to Cal on a softball scholarship and Cal is excited about getting one of the top softball pitchers in the country. It's a match made in heaven.
Arianna has worked so hard to be strong, powerful and fast. She continues to Weight train and do SPARQ training for softball (In-Season training cycle). I am so very proud of her willingness to train hard. Arianna Trains for Results !!!

Earlier this week San Pedro's sophomore, right fielder, big and strong Blake Mendoza Hit a home run blast to tie the game against cross town rival Banning 3-3, San Pedro Pirates later went on to win the game 4-3 @ home. Blake has a good future in front of him. I am very proud of Blake's accomplishments. I first meet Blake and his brother Ryan through Holy Trinity football. Blake was a part of the Holy Trinity CYO Championship football and Basketball Teams 2007/2008. What I like most about Blake, is that he takes full responsibility for being in great shape. He is well prepared. He trains hard. He's not afraid to work. He is a blue collar athlete. The bottom line Blake gets it done. That's why, he's the starting right field, as a sophomore, on San Pedro high's varsity baseball team, hitting game tying home runs.        Blake trains for Results !!!

Performance Testing for Results
Test, Train, then Retest for Results !!!
 
Testing is a big part of evaluation. Testing is a starting point. It's a way to measure your improvements every 6-12 weeks. It's What I call black and white improvements. Measurable improvements in upper and lower body strength, power out-put , local muscle endurance , body fat %, speed, change of direction, balance and coordination. Some test are universal to many sports and some are not. For example Back Squat 1 Rep max is a test of strength for the lower body, this test applies to any sport that reguires lower body strength. On the other hand the forty Yard dash is specific to Football Testing.
