Before I started working with Dr Yessis, I got the usual information for track and field athletes, still being practiced today, using a lot of repeat 100’s, repeat 200’s, very little done on plyos; we overdid the weight lifting, squatted 2 ½ times their body weight. We experienced burnout, injuries, and the athletes became slower.
Then when I started working with Dr Yessis I went from being a beginner coach to having great success, and I received the “Key to the City of Wheaton”, when the whole city recognizes you! Nobody could figure out how I did it, it was so different. I produced national champions in 200m and 400m, All-Americans in the 100m and 200m, state champions in almost every event, along with high school and college national champions in the 200m.
I have been using his recommendations with my own daughter, who regularly beats girls 4-5 years older in track meets. And, I haven’t seen any injuries (due to the Active Cords)!
