Getting our athletes to college, and the right college for them, is important to us. As coaches, we're not only playing in athletic development, but in character and personal development. That's why we try to address this topic a few times a year with our members. We'll be hosting a spring College Recruiting Seminar at our gym in Point Breeze on Tuesday, April 16th at 6P. The discussion will be moderated by Mark Metzka, a longtime admissions counselor at DII Slippery Rock University. This is free & open to the public. Share widely with the young people in your life!

With 2024 in sight, we've been reflecting upon all the good that happened this year. Here's a brief recap of the first half of 2023. From January - May, we coached our largest number of PIAA Track competitors ever, and many of these youth athletes are first time competitors at that level. Highlights of the spring season’s successes: At the WPIAL championship, #GHP athletes medaled in over 20% of the events punching their ticket to the #PIAA State Championship Meet. All 5 of these athletes are 1st timers going to the PIAA state championship and 2 are freshman. At the City of Pittsburgh T&F Championships, we coached nearly 90% of the event winners from the 400m-3200m between 2021-2023. Our Allderdice athletes combined with Coach Donald's Obama HS athletes won 60% of all gold medals earned at the City of Pittsburgh championship and 80% of the girls’ gold medals specifically. At #GlobalHumanPerformance, we coach these athletes in the gym, but we’ve also coached all of these athletes on the track. From form, speed and conditioning, to racing tactics, we’ve been part of their running journey, and we’re happy to be part of these major milestones in their careers. #2023Recap #PersonalTraining #TrackAndField
