Hi Alonzo,
“Just wanted to update you
on Nick’s progress during
his testing today. He ran a
4.84 - 40 yd dash and a 4.39
Pro Agility today during
testing. He was very excited
and I am very proud of him
for all of his hard work. I
know you wanted to keep up
with how the boys are doing.
I want to thank you for your
time, energy and focus on
Nick over the last 6 months.
You encouraged him to
believe in what you were
teaching and he now sees
what hard work can do. His
results have AYG written all
over them. I’m very proud of
Nick and he is very happy.
The coaches were too.” I’m
sure you recall that Nick
came to you running his 40
in 5.0 seconds.
Thanks again.

Alonzo, “After the session
yesterday we went and got
some crabs to celebrate. The
boys all really applied
themselves much more than
what I thought they would
when we first started. Conor
still will coast at times
but he is still only 9 and
that is understandable. But
Curtis & Phillip shocked me
with the effort they gave.
We celebrated last night as
they & I all know that they
have learned the habits &
character traits to set
themselves apart or at least
get the most out of there
abilities. We talked about
how hard they worked and
pushed themselves while
others kids on there team do
not. We talked about how
there are so many others out
there working to improve
themselves as is evident by
all the kids working hard in
your gym. I really believe
they understand that now and
they have the work ethic
engrained in there minds as
to how to get the most out
of there abilities. I have
to say that your class was
the most enjoyable part of
my weeks for the last 5-6
months. The sessions gave me
a venue to connect and
indirectly teach the
boys this quality. You push
them – I would talk with
them afterwards. By being
there it has given me a
whole new respect for what
the three of them have
inside of them and I can not
say thanks enough for
letting me do some
exercising.

"Alonzo Ruffin has been the
single most important factor
in transforming my daughter
Kayla into the athlete she
is today. He started over
six years ago with a girl
who was slow on foot and had
very little self-confidence.
With his hard work and
dedication he has not only
given Kayla the gift of
speed and quickness but was
able to build a sense of
self esteem to which I
credit all of her success's.
She has improved not only on
a basketball court and
soccer field but also in
school. She has learned an
important lesson from her
experiences with Alonzo. The
lesson being there is a
direct correlation with the
amount of work you put into
something and the results
achieved from that work.
This lesson has been
instrumental in the
development of Kayla as both
an athlete and a student.
The academic development was
something we did not
anticipate but was a welcome
surprise. The self-esteem,
pride in self and work ethic
that she has developed in
her six plus years of
training have carried over
into every aspect of her
life. I will be forever
grateful to Alonzo and more
importantly so will Kayla."

"In a sport that requires
short, quick bursts of power
from the run, working with
you has been fantastic! The
increase in speed and power
each time you work with the
girls is amazing! They have
a much stronger
understanding of how to
effectively and efficiently
use their feet and legs to
maximize their run for vault
and floor. In fact, the
drills you taught the girls
are now a daily part of our
vaulting and tumbling
workouts. Your coaching has
helped not only my girls
performance, but has helped
me to be a better coach. The
girls - and I - can't wait
to work with you again!
Thanks again!"

"During the off season,
Accelerate Your Game
training sessions helped me
stay in top shape. The speed
techniques, agility and
conditioning drills improved
my running form in just a
few weeks. I only wish
Accelerate Your Game was
available when I was playing
NCSL and high school soccer,
what an impact it would have
had on me."

"We had Alonzo in twice at
our facility during the
summer. We were in need of
improving our vault runs &
gaining access to more
drills to improve this
technique. "Accelerate Your
Game" has enhanced our vault
drills, greatly improved the
gymnasts overall running
technique & assisted the
coaches in improving overall
vault success. It was & will
be a great shot in the arm
for any program."
Sincerely, Karen
