  • 3 Tools for Success That Don't Require Talen

    3 Tools for Success That Require NO TALENT Talent is a funny thing when it comes to success. Oftentimes I would argue that talent can be a hindrance when it comes to reaching your potential. It provides a comfort zone that allows for a lack of effort, focus and grit that is necessary in highly competitive environments. We all have seen the young kid who is just better than the rest or the high school athlete who is clearly above his peers from an athletic standpoint. These athletes were blessed with abilities that they often did not necessarily “earn” but were born with. Unfortunately these athletes oftentimes are not your hardest workers, lack great focus to ....

  • "I can't" or "I won't"

    The difference between " I can't do it" and "I won't do it" may be the single biggest obstacle to reaching your potential. Often times in our facility we here the phrase "I can't do it" . This phrase is used for all kinds of reasons whether it is an actual exercise or not attending workouts. While this phrase drives me crazy I often believe that it should be replaced with "I won't do it!" This subtle difference in wording will often keep an athlete from reaching their full potential in the weight room, the field and in school. Reaching your potential is not easy. It requires sacrifice, difficult decisions, the ability to get uncomfortable and prioritizing ....

Working out at The Athlete Factory has been one of the best things I've done to elevate my game. I started in middle school and continued to train with him until I graduated and went onto Georgia Tech to play division 1 volleyball. Since I’ve started, I can notice a significant increase in my vertical and hitting power, which are both huge in the sport of volleyball. Getting in the weight room didn’t just help me in high school or make me stronger, it also made the transition to college athletics a lot easier. Being familiar with a weight room and knowing good technique has allowed me to jump right in. We built a firm foundation with the basics, because these are some of the most critical movements. The coaches have always pushed me to be my best and to test my limits, which has helped me not just in sport but life.

I highly recommend The Athlete Factory! My son signed up for 6 months. He had a significant injury that had him on limited training for the 1st 3 months. The coaches worked around the injury until he was able to start full body training again. In the following 3 months my son improved leaps and bounds. We noticed right away in the beginning of his sport season how much stronger he was. The athlete factory gave the extra level my son needed in his performance for his sport. We signed up for another full year!
