Athlete of the Month
ATHLETES OF THE MONTH – SEPTEMBER 2018
ASF SOUTH – JEREMY MEYERS:
Jeremy and Coach Becki have been working together for the better part of 3 years! Coach Becki said this about Jeremy and their time together…
“Jeremy is the epitome of a well-rounded athlete. He started at ASF in October of 2015 with the goals of getting stronger, changing his body composition, and improving his shoulder and upper back strength and mobility.
Over the years, we have steadily addressed structural issues while building Jeremy’s overall strength and mass. Jeremy consistently sets definitive, attainable strength and mobility goals and meets every one of them. We joke that as soon as we fix one broken part we find a new one, but the truth is the parts we fix stay fixed, due to Jeremy’s understanding of his own body and targeted mobility work.
Jeremy also lives a great example of a super-fit but realistic lifestyle. Even while paying close attention to his nutrition to get his body fat down, he knows when to relax and let himself have fun with family and friends. He makes his three sessions a week at ASF and his running a priority, and it shows – he has consistently lost body fat while gaining muscle, beaten his goal of benching his body weight, and mastered pull-ups (without pain!).
Coach Sierra has nominated Elaine for Athlete of the Month, Central because she’s always on the grind! She runs a minimum 6 miles a day and still comes in 3 time a week to strength train to enhance her running performance and reduce any chance of overuse injury. As a teacher for both preschoolers and older adults – teaching fall prevention and caregiving classes – Elaine keep her health, fitness, and strength a priority to keep up with all of her students.
