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. After... [Read more of this review]
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 it says “Duh.. Winning.” Never thought...

View From Above
One of the best moves I made when creating the layout for the new FOCUS training center was to include an elevated office. When you walk in the front door.. look up. You’ll see me perched high above writing workouts and doing some nerdy research to make our programs better than theirs. Yes – in here we train for real. You should too. 724-747-6229 AKPC_IDS...

Packing on the muscle
Not everybody wants to add as much lean muscle as possible in a little amount time but that’s just what Brandon Gresh set out to do. Rather than taking the rest of the year off after football Brandon committed himself to four days of training each week. Consistency, along with some nutritional improvements and a ton of effort on his part made... [Read more of this review]
This is pretty easy…
Not sure how to make this one any easier… When you refer an athlete into the program, and they earn one of our limited roster spots, you earn yourself $55.00. With unlimited opportunities to earn some extra $$$$$ go ahead and get started – like right now. Click here for all the details. Pictured here, from left to right are Austin King-Somma,...

Boxing Fun with FOCUS Mitts
Check out this short clip of Emily Rock (Bishop Canevin, Jr.) mixing it up with some boxing combinations. No.. I’m not a professional boxing coach and she’s not training for the Golden Gloves, but Emily has done a damn good job picking up the basics. We use some shadow boxing and focus mitts for confidence boosters and a way to change... [Read more of this review]
Build Off These Three
FOCUS operates on the premise that three things need to be established and cultivated in order to achieve substantial levels of success. COMMUNICATION: Firm handshakes, alive eyes, body language, tone, etc. All leads to improved interaction. I have to know what you’re thinking, and you have to learn how to get it out. If we don’t talk…... [Read more of this review]
From Lazy to Leader
Yea… I understand calling a kid lazy might me a little harsh. But if you understood how far Alex Verikas (Carlynton HS, Junior) has come you’d completely understand. A few short years ago he walked into the gym an awkward, weak kid with a bit of an attitude. Fast forward to the present and you’ll find a dedicated, detailed athlete... [Read more of this review]
Winter Workout Highlights
Winter workouts have been going awesome thus far. Our DIEHARD athletes (those that train with FOCUS year round) are well beyond this time last year. I can really see program targets clicking with these kids. It truly makes a different when a high school athlete knows you care about them, and in return they trust everything they’re asked to do. Check... [Read more of this review]
We have a winner!
Chase was a Monkey! For Halloween I ran a contest to see who could guess what my son was going to be for his first Halloween (he’s only 5 months old). To play, all you had to do was reply to one of the normally scheduled emails that go out to subscribers. You could only guess one time per reply but had unlimited chances to get it right. After...

Check out this highlight reel of local athletes from Bishop Canevin High School. FOCUS has worked with athletes from this district since 2004, seeing kids develop from 7th grade into their first year of college. You’ll see training at the school’s weight room and field, plus the facility we use in Robinson. This past summer marked the... [Read more of this review]
Lunge Exercises for Lower Body Strength/Power
Check out this video of Greg Jones (Denison University) and Nick Sylvester (Bishop Canevin HS) doing a couple barbell lunge variations. Both are super talented and aggressive athletes who take it to a new level every workout. Check out Greg’s balance and flexibility – something he needs as starting wide receiver in college. Nick on the... [Read more of this review]
