Sometimes we get so busy that we overlook what's happening around us.

Then something comes along that reminds us that the effort we put into the things we love was worthwhile.

The email below was one of those "somethings" for me:

Hello Coach Ross- 

 I am just writing to request cancelling my ASR subscription. As my collegiate track career comes to a close, I will be taking an indefinite time away from training. I don't want to take up too much of your time with a long winded story, but I do want to let you know the profound impact your ASR and dead lift protocol has had on my athletics career. I've struggled with sub-standard (even dangerous) coaches my entire career, including the D-I level. When I discovered your website and coaching methods and the community behind you I was a very disheartened and burnt out athlete. 

 I was able to integrate your philosophies and a great deal of your training techniques on my own time, and within a few months I went from being frustrated, burnt out and 1 day away from quitting to being the top sprinter on my team, setting multiple PR's and most importantly, contributing on a significant level to the team's successes.

Though I am for now moving on to other pursuits, know that whenever I think of my time spent in Track and Field I will think of you and all the coaches that make up your community at bearpowered.com. I have already recommended ASR to many athletes and will continue to do so with full confidence that they will see the same successes that I have. Again, thanks for a wonderful product and experience; I will never forget it.

The thanks belongs to you Fred!
