Look What 5 Weeks Can Do

When Alex Demczak (Clarion University | Sophomore) came to FOCUS I believe his first comments were something like “You tell me what to do and I’ll do it… I do whatever it’s gonna take.” After five solid weeks of training over the holiday break I think it’s safe to say he made some noticeable improvements.

Have Fun Winning

Check out those guns! Amanda Henry (South Fayette / Freshman) is an up and coming volleyball player who isn’t afraid to hit the weight room. You can find her at FOCUS upping her vertical and total body power between club volleyball and school 2x a week. Not sure if you can read her shirt but [...]
