We wanted to give a shoutout to one of our athletes who’s been training with GRITT for awhile: Reagan Fredritz
Reagan is a testament to an athlete locking in, trusting the process and reaping the rewards. If you’ve ever seen her training in the gym, you know we certainly have plenty of fun and laughs but every set and exercise she is letting us push her, and the results show.
Over the last year, she has gained A FOOT on her approach touch for volleyball (7’8 -> 8’8). Now she has grown about 2-3 inches over the last year, but that’s still 9-10 inches gained on her vertical.
The secret why? Reagan is STRONG and has no fear of pushing her muscles with weight loads that look like they are not for a 13 year old. Sled pulling over 350 pounds, deadlifting over 250 pounds, squatting 200 pounds and all the while pushing herself in every plyometric exercise to go with it.
Reagan is one of the awesome success stories at GRITT, which has led to her success playing on Black Swamp Volleyball National teams (which have won multiple championships by the way, let’s go girls). Give this girl a thumbs up and cheer for the progress she’s made so far, and watch as she continues to improve.
