TESTIMONIALS

Alex Drayson provided my son, Andrew Speed (Staples '17) with a comprehensive package of speed, strength, and agility training, along with elite quarterback training. Andrew had only 1 year of experience at the quarterback position prior to high school. Alex Drayson's QB training helped him win the starting spot for the freshman team and ultimately become the starting Varsity QB as a Junior. |

Coming here really gave me the opportunity to make myself better. I notice a lot more velocity on the ball and lot less of a toll on my shoulder. Now, I've learned how to correct things myself. That's something that before I was never able to do.

While this has been a fantastic experience for my son physically, more importantly, it has prepared him better mentally to handle success and failure. I am grateful to Alex and his staff for all they have done to help prepare my son for the real world and it’s challenges. Thank you.
