A GREAT END TO THE WEEK

Owning your own business is very rewarding and also very difficult as anyone who owns their own business knows.  I have the pleasure of working with Coach Mark and have a great support staff in play but making a difference and seeing athletes and clients reach a higher level in life is what keeps me going.  These past few weeks have been very busy and challenged me more than the every thought.  I make mistakes everyday but feel I'm improving everyday and this story made my month.                                                       
I have trained the Rush Soccer Girls the past 4 years and have seen many of them reach D1 level and even the professional level.  This past week Alika a very bright and hardworking girl just got into Harvard and I wanted to highlight her and what she stands for.  What she says about training with Coach B is great but this girl works so hard and is really a pain in the ass with all the questions she continues to ask at every session.  Alika, your the best pain in the ass and keep those questions coming.   I appreciate your questions and look forward to every time you enter the gym.  This girl is going to be someone to watch on the field and in the game of life.  Thank you Alika.  Here is what she wrote me the other day.
                                                                                                                                                                        

Harvard was really a last minute thing. Meg and her mom had been throwing in little hints here and there to convince me to consider it, but my initial thoughts were that there's no way I would get in and that the coach hadn't even seen me play before. Even when the email came, I was rejecting the idea of it because it's absolutely freezing in Boston and there probably wouldn't be a good balance of soccer and school. As soon as I met the girls, I realized I was so wrong and I fell in love. As far as majors, I definitely know I want to do some kind of research in the science field. Luckily Harvard has so many options available.
B Meyer Training has helped me so much. I've never felt as agile and strong as I did after I started training on a weekly basis. In fact, two days before we left for Vegas, I landed the wrong way and hurt my knee. Based on the way I've heard other athletes's stories on how they tore ligaments, I was so nervous. When I went in for a checkup, the doc said he thinks I just twisted it badly. I may have thought it was worse than it actually was, but I honestly believe Coach Bryan's training helped me avoid anything more serious.
