To whom it may concern:

My name is Dennis Guttman; I am a 59 y.o. cyclist (road bike) who has been cycling for 3 years and about 15,000 miles. In an effort to improve my cycling (speed, power, endurance, form, nutrition) I was prepared to spend $2500 for a week-long cycling camp. A cycling friend suggested that I look into the training at UF Sport Institute, as she was delighted with the results of working with Jeff. Jeff is THE BEST!!! I have been fortunate enough to be training with him since November and I have made more progress in that short time than I have since I began cycling 3 years ago.

 

PGA of AmericaJohn Reger, Jr.From what I have seen so far, after review of the printed materials, and the high caliber of the physicians and scientists that are involved, I believe that this technology will revolutionize the way the game of golf will be taught by golf professionals worldwide.

Ford IronmanQualifying for and completing the 2006 Hawaii Ironman was once in a lifetime opportunity. The therapy and training that I received at the UF sports performance center, not only was instrumental in my completing this grueling event, but it allowed me to do so without injury. Thank you so much for supporting me.

I wanted to tell you Shannon is really getting so much out of this program. She thinks it's really excellent and the staff is terrific! Not only is she getting stronger but she says when they are doing drills at softball practice she finds herself using the things she has learned.

Rudy CyclingRudy RunningIf you would have told me a year ago that I would be a triathlete competitor today I would have told you it was out of the question completely. I would have said there is no way to balance a busy lifestyle with work, family, and countless other obligations AND be a successful Triathlete and I would be completely wrong!

Helping maximize my training time and getting the most out of my workouts and myself was all credited to Jeff Plasschaert and the experts at UF Sports Performance Center. I was so impressed with the professionalism of the staff and how quickly I was able to make significant gains in my training. As an avid cyclist, triathlete and Ironman competitor, Jeff was able to hand down a tremendous amount of knowledge and experience to help me train effectively and psychologically prepare for my first race. I was even able to ride the exact race course on the center's CompuTrainer weeks before the actual event!

Training at the Sports Performance Center completely prepared me to take on a challenge I never would have imagined possible, now I'm hooked on Triathlons and I look forward to a successful racing season!
