PV'S ARIANNA ERCEG THROWS A NO HITTER AND
BLAST HER 5TH HOME RUN OF THE SEASON
 
 
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 !!!

Baseball 
Last 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 met 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 fielder, as a sophomore, on San Pedro High's varsity baseball team, hitting game tying homeruns. Blake trains for Results !!!

TYLER MCBRIDE IS DESTINE FOR GREATNESS !!!
 
Tyler McBride LA Loyola's RB/SS, Class of 2011 is a very special student athlete(GPA 3.3). Tyler loves, SPARQ training and working out. Tyler trains for Results!!!Tyler gets better every SPARQ training camp. He raises the level of competition every time he trains, for Results!!!when you train with Tyler he forces you to compete and you better bring your best, or he will beat you all day long. LA Loyola is one of the top Schools in the country, rich in football history. One of my favorite student athletes of all time LA Loyola's #77 Mark Gray class of 2002 (Cal class 2007). Mark was the only sophomore to ever start on both side of the ball, in over 125 years of football at Loyola.  Tyler and Mark both have share some fine qualities. They both are fierce competitors, both raise the level of competition around them. Both are very smart, both love to train but most of all the one thing that sets them apart from most, is they are both a class act. Great guys to train with, fun guys to be around. Tyler is just coming back from NFL University football Camp in northern California. He is training hard, getting ready to have the best senior season imaginable. Let me tell you something about Tyler McBride he can fly!!!He runs low and hard. His forty yard dash is 4.65 seconds, he can run a 4.3 second 20 yard shuttle. He can Bench 265lbs. and Back Squat 400lbs. Tyler plays both Running Back, Strong Safety, Kick-off return and all special teams, because he is good. Tyler gets the job done like no other.Tyler played youth football in Redondo Beach. Tyler averaged more than a touch down per game for 59 games. WOW!!!Tyler is a leader on and off the field. His teammates twice voted him team captain. I have always enjoyed training Tyler. I like his attitude about getting better,  I like his intensity, I like his style. I am proud of his accomplishments and so will college coaches. Remember the name #26 Tyler McBride. Tyler trains for Results!!!

Performance Testing for Results
Test, Train, then Re-test 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 requires lower body strength. On the other hand the forty yard dash is specific to football testing.
