Lets imagine a 6 ft 3 inch 17 year old that weighs roughly 155 pounds.
He is made up of soft tissue and fat (very little that he had). His
arms are twigs and he can barely run up and down a basketball court a
couple times with out being winded. Well, that was me about a year ago.
I was one of those kids that would just sit around and not
really do anything. I loved basketball back then but just never got in
the shape for it because I was more interested in hanging out with the
wrong people and smoking all day (as much as I hate to admit it).

Then
I quickly shaped up my attitude and began the process of transforming
my body into a basketball players body. My grandpa who I had just moved
in with had suggested I try a gym called CrossFit. I thought it would
be a waste of my time and after a couple of weeks of putting it off I
finally attended a class. I fell in love right off the bat!

I stuck
with it and worked my butt off and within 5 months I was in some of the
greatest shape of my life! I went from having no hops ever into having
slam dunk contest hops. I gained "abs of steal" and I came ripped
throughout my body (even though I am not very big) I had gained 15
pounds of muscle over the 5 months.

I began to attend Rio
Americano high and tried out for their basketball team. I was so
worried on what the coach would think of me. After my first practice he
pulled me aside and said I made the team just off pure physical ability
alone. I was ecstatic!! I had just made the team because of CrossFit. I
continued to train and work on my game and I am now on the starting
team going into the season. I currently weigh around 175 to 180.
straight muscle you best believe 😉

I owe everything I have
to CrossFit East Sac and the trainers there; Justin, Travis, Brooke
and Lene as well as my grandparents. I am looking to go play
in college and hopefully get scholarships. I am participating in a Cal
Poly SLO (mission prep classic) dunk contest, where I will be going
against some of the best high risers in California. Once again I owe
this all to you guys at CFES! Thank you!
