In the past, my strength coaches would just put a lot of weight on the bar, basically just to see how much I could lift. But it wasn't specific to me as an athlete.
Because of this, I had a lot of injuries; torn quad, hamstring problems, tendonitis, shin splints, you name it. Since working with Phil I've been injury free for over 2 years!

SPARTA work-outs are catered to my needs as an athlete.
It is the first training program I have ever done that really focuses on my individual weaknesses, and I have already seen enormous improvements.
San Francisco Giants
After having career threatening Tommy John surgery, training at SPARTA has given me the physical and mental confidence to be as successful as possible when I get back on the field.
The training environment at SPARTA is ideal, allowing athletes to be focused and put in the work needed to be at their absolute best.

SPARTA Performance Science really takes athlete training and testing to a whole new level. Their use of the force plate to quickly and accurately assess each athlete's individual needs is innovative and exciting.
I consider them to be experts in the field of sports science and an invaluable resource to our program.

The SPARTA coaches have created a competitive, energetic and fun training environment that increases the intensity of each workout. Encouraging athletes not only to compete and pull for each other, but also learn from one another, creates a team atmosphere that is great to be a part of.
Since training with SPARTA my arm speed, strength and power numbers have increased each year. More importantly, my workouts at SPARTA have focused on increasing my range of motion and strength at the same time, which has increased my explosive strength as well as my ability to relax, translating into a much better baseball swing.
Quarterback skills coach
I am very impressed with the tools SPARTA utilizes in diagnosing the specific areas that quarterbacks need to strengthen. Athletes training at SPARTA have the unique advantage of being exposed to a system that utilizes technology based on hard science, to prescribe tailor-made programs to strengthen and improve flexibility, strength and consistency.
It is the perfect complement to the training I provide.

The thing I like the most about what Phil did is he put me through a battery of tests to find out what my strengths and weaknesses were. Then he went about hammering on those weaknesses.
I went from not being able to play or compete at a high level because of pain in my back to feeling like I could lie down in traffic and I'd be fine. My back feels that strong!
World Champion track cycling;2X US Olympian
I've always been a very strong athlete, but I struggled to be explosive when I needed to be.
After training with SPARTA I'm not only strong, but I can apply the strength when I need to.

SPARTA has scientifically broken down proper shot mechanics to pinpoint the core elements of the shooting motion. Their lacrosse specific strength training techniques focus on these elements to build shot speed and power.
Coupled with regular shooting drills, there is no better way to dramatically improve your shooting ability.

I cannot overstate SPARTA's contribution to our 2006 NCAA Championship Team. Our returning student-athletes realized that we were in better shape than our opponents during our 14 match winning streak at the end of the season, and stayed around campus to train with Phil the following summer.
They drop by my office to share news of new personal bests in vertical jumps and heavy lifts.
Head Coach FC Gold Pride
SPARTA has the unique combination of powerful scientific technology, in the hands of passionate, experienced coaches. I find their training sessions for my team so helpful, that I participate in them myself.
