Hey everyone, my name is RJ Nelsen and I’m an athlete/coach whose primary interest is speed training, both for team sports and for track and field. I can’t say I have much in the way of accomplishments to my name, but over the past few years I’ve transformed myself from a scrawny couch potato into a half-decent athlete. Since I started training I’ve added 40 lbs to my frame (170 lbs to 210 lbs @ 6’1″), taken my vertical leap from touching rim to dunking from a standstill, added 18″ to my broad jump (8’8″ to 10’2″ and still going up), have done 7 chin ups with 90 lbs around my waist, and have dropped over a second from my 100M time. These numbers aren’t final either. I’m still improving and intend to eclipse them all in short order. I’ve also had the pleasure of helping many athletes get closer to their sporting goals.
Over the past few years I’ve learned the ropes from training myself, training others, talking to knowledgeable and experienced coaches, and reading anything and everything I could get my hands on. I’m finally starting to get a firm grip on things and I hope I can pass a little bit on.
