Christian West (aka C-WEST), the man himself is this week’s Feature Friday! Christian is one of our dominant collegiate athletes who comes in 4x a week to get his training done in order to stay on top of his game! He is prepping to return for his sophomore football season for the UW-Whitewater Warhawks! C-West has been a huge part of our ETS Fam and we could not be more proud of him and all of his hard work, dedication on perfecting his craft, and being a solid role model to the younger ETS athletes as well! Keep grinding and keep working hard, Christian!

This week’s shout out goes to Benny G! Ben has been working consistently for almost a year and half at ETS to prep for football!
Ben entered his first day in the facility goblet squatting 20lbs and learning about form and tempo. Now he’s deadlifting 185lbs for reps with excellent form and progressing across the board. More importantly, Ben is a phenomenal kid with a great attitude and the willingness to ask questions and push himself every week!

This time of the year is never easy as our college athletes start to return to school and high school seniors participate in their final training session of the summer.
We couldn’t be any prouder of Derek Wallace and the hours he put in over the last few years. From intern to athlete, Derek has been a leader and made an impact on our facility and the athletes he’s been around. We’re excited to follow along as he starts his college career playing rugby for Arkansas State Rugby
