What sport do you play? Where? What position?

I am a defenseman for the Pingry lacrosse team.

What is your favorite thing about your team, sport or school?

My favorite thing about being on the Pingry lacrosse team is the tight knit community of guys and the winning culture.

Why do you enjoy training with Robbie? How long have you trained with him?

I enjoy training with Robbie because his mentality pushes me to go hard in the weight room.  I’ve been training with him for around two years.

What are your favorite exercises?

My favorite exercises are barbell squat and barbell box step ups. These are great because they mimic explosive movements that transfer over to the field.

What are your least favorite exercises?

One of my least favorite exercises is reverse hyper extensions because they are hard to get out of.

Have you seen any improvements in strength/agility/speed thanks to your training?

I definitely think training with Robbie has allowed me to improve my overall strength as well as explosiveness on the field because of the correlation between the workouts and lacrosse.

What are some of your upcoming goals?

My goals for this year or to continue the tradition of winning at Pingry and have a great senior season.

 

Thank you, Kelsey! We look forward to your next season!
