Results That Speak For Themselves
Charlie started working with us to improve body composition and structural balance after a long season. As a quarterback he understood the value of improving the scapular retractors to put more velocity on the ball and the importance of body composition for reducing injury risk.
Zack had a big goal of putting on lean body mass so that he could compete at a high level for his new prep school. He gained 20 lbs over the course of our off season program.
As a middle school athlete Dylan and his parents knew how important it was to lay a quality foundation to build upon in subsequent years. The biggest limiting factor for most high school athletes is not skill development but it is size and strength. An early foundation will provide a higher ceiling for physical development later on when it matters most.

What Our Clients Say
My son has been very happy with the results. The first time he was able to get through three sets of pull-ups was something he was especially proud of.
The transformation of my son, Jack, from a good athlete to a truly exceptional one, began with his personal drive and determination. It was exemplified through the Science Over Tradition program led by Sam. We are immensely grateful for the positive impact Sam has had on Jack's life and his basketball journey.
Having a coach believe in my son was game-changing. As hard as Luke worked in the program, Sam worked even harder to support him. Luke is now a college wrestler and finished high school as a Connecticut Wrestling state qualifier, with more successes and medals than I can count. It all started the day we walked into Sam’s office.
The knowledge of Coach Sam and his staff, as well as the individualized nature of the program, is second to none. The time spent educating the athletes on not only the how but also the why will stay with my daughter long after her high school sports career. Sam has been extremely communicative, ensuring we are aligned on the path forward, which has benefited Rebecca tremendously.
