SUCCESS STORIES TRAINING WITH ADAM AND THE SPEED SCIENCE METHOD:

Graham Smith: 2 time CIS All-Canadian, MVP- 2007 CIS National Championships
“The most amazing part of training with Adam is how you are able to keep on progressing no matter what stage you are at with your program. I have achieved my greatest successes in soccer since training with Adam. Our UBC training has changed me as a player; it has made me more explosive and much quicker on the field.â€

Mike Mosher - Head Coach UBC Thunderbirds Men’s Soccer
“Our men’s varsity program has benefited tremendously from Adam’s knowledge and experience in physical training and his passion and desire for developing high performance athletes. Further proof is that our program has already seen massive improvements with the type of training implemented by Adam in that we have captured the Men’s soccer CIS National Championship in both 2005 & 2007.â€

Brandon Bonifacio - U-20 National Team & Cambuur - Leeuwarden (Netherlands)
“As not one of the taller athletes I had to rely on explosiveness and quickness to get to higher levels in soccer. After just a couple weeks with Adam my body felt the strongest it has ever been. Adam’s methods have helped me in the prevention of injuries which is key for any athlete. It has helped me over the last 6 months reach
new levels as a soccer player and I owe a lot of my success to the work of Adam.â€

Eddie Chalk - Paris St.-Germain U-15 Team
“Adam’s program really helped me improve my soccer speed skills. The training sessions helped me develop not only my leg muscles, but also my core and upper body strength. I found this very helpful in winning tackles and avoid being pushed off the ball by bigger kids. Also, the drills that worked on explosive moves helped me a lot in getting to the ball first. I now play with the former club of 2 time-World Player of the Year- Ronaldinho Gaucho, Paris St. Germain (PSG) U15 team in Franceâ€
