TESTIMONIALS: Graham Smith- UBC Thunderbirds Men’s MVP- 2007 CIS National Championships I've been training with Adam for two and a half years and continue to get stronger, more powerful, and more agile. His program has definitely contributed to UBC's two CIS National Championships over the past three years, and continues to improve our players. Adam will push you until you realize the full capacity of what your body can really do. His confidence in his training methods and ideologies is unmatched, and as long as you're listening you will learn something new at training everyday. Perhaps the most amazing part of training with Adam is how you are able to keep on progressing no matter what stage you are at with your program. I have achieved my greatest successes in soccer since training with Speed Science and I firmly believe that is no coincidence. This training has changed me as a player; it has made me more explosive and much quicker on the field. If you want to become a stronger, more able athlete then I highly recommend training with Speed Science. Aaron Richer-CIS National Player of the year- 2003CIS Canada West MVP- 2004 “I first met Adam when we played together with the UBC Men’s soccer team. Not only was he an exceptional player, but his training methodologies were much different than most; and we quickly realized it was his specific training that continuously gave him the edge in speed and strength over the competition. Throughout my years at UBC, several times a week we would work with Adam, focusing on the elements that promote quick recovery time, deadly acceleration and change of pace and a mental and physical strength that only a focused training system could produce. His work spoke volumes as we were known to be one if not the fittest and fastest teams in the league consistently producing recognized talent. On a personal level, Adam pushed my body to a level I could not have achieved on my own. My body came to crave his sessions, knowing that we were going to be engaging in something new and technical, and always rewarding. As a result, my game became more diverse yet disciplined and my ability to perform became second nature. Adams’s training allowed me to represent Canada at the World University Games and fulfill professional soccer aspirations here in Canada and Europe. Adams’ work is imperative to any athlete looking for that edge, separating themselves from everyone else on the field.” Carl Valentine- Canadian Soccer Icon “Over the last couple of years I have had the opportunity to learn from Adam just how power and physical training can take your game to the next level. With the emergence of practical sport science research, Soccer Canada is entering a new age in player development. Adam’s ability to disseminate the complex findings of sport science research and then simplify it to deliver the newest and most effective training strategies is unprecedented. There is no doubt that the game today dema?nds the modern soccer player be faster, stronger and more agile. Any young athlete looking to stay injury free while maximizing their performance should begin speed, agility and quickness training from age 8 and continue right through to adulthood. As is the case with ball skill training, the earlier you start this type of training the more profound the effects will be down the line. My only regret having seen Adam’s work is that he wasn’t around when I was a kid- I am sure my game would have developed in an entirely different way. It is with great pleasure that I recommend Adam’s program to any young athlete wanting to gain the essential qualities of a modern soccer player”. Mike Mosher- Head Coach UBC Thunderbirds Men’s Soccer“Since joining up with Speed Science in 2004 our men’s varsity program has benefited tremendously from Adam’s knowledge and experience in physical training and his passion and desire for developing high performance athletes. Adam has done a lot of work with our athletes over the past 4 years progressively implementing training programs. We are now at the stage where the athletes have completely bought into Adam’s training and they look forward to his sessions as they have really begun to realize the benefits of his innovative approach. Further proof is that our program has already seen massive improvements with the type of training implemented by Adam in that we have captured the Men’s soccer CIS National Championship in both 2005 & 2007. If you want to become a faster, quicker, sharper athlete than Adam is the guy to go to!” Jon Poli – UBC Thunderbirds Men’s MVP- 2005 CIS National Championships“I have never felt as strong, powerful, agile, coordinated, and fast as I did when I was training with Adam Plummer. Through his scientifically based yet original methods I became the most “explosive” athlete I have ever been. I had not been playing soccer for four months due to a severe knee injury, and through his training I returned to playing in the best shape I have ever been in my life. His training involves no long distance running, yet I returned with the ability to play an entire game without a problem. Adam Plummer’s training method increases ones physical abilities to such a degree that you also have more control over your skill. Adam’s training method made me able to accomplish things I could have only dreamt of. I owe a lot of my success in soccer to the excellent training that Adam Plummer has given me.” Brandon Bonifacio- Cambuur - Leeuwarden Pro Soccer Team in Holland“My game has gone through major leaps after my work with Adam. As not one of the taller athletes I had to rely on explosiveness and quickness to get to higher levels in soccer. After a couple weeks with Adam my body felt the strongest it has ever been. I felt good when I played and was not as sore after a match or practice. His methods also help in prevention of injury which is key for any athlete. Adam’s method should be used by any athlete that wishes to make a jump in their sport. To perform at your peak performance as an athlete these days, strength training is a big part of that. It has helped me over the last 6 months reach new levels as a soccer player and I owe a lot of my success to the work of Adam. I highly recommend the work of Adam to an athlete wishing to get stronger which in return will help in many other areas of their sport.” Eddie Chalk- Paris St.-Germain U-14 Team“Adam’s program really helped me improve my soccer speed skills. I am not the biggest kid so speed and skill are essential qualities that have helped me improve my effectiveness. The training sessions are very intense and helped develop not only my leg muscles, but also my core and upper body strength. I found this very helpful in winning tackles and avoid being pushed off the ball by bigger kids. Also, the drills that worked on explosive moves helped me a lot in getting to the ball first. All in all, I totally recommend the program to anyone who is serious about improving their speed skills and overall conditioning. But be prepared to work hard! Adam can show you the way, but you who have to do the work! You must have the will and desire to get better at every session. If you bring this type of attitude to Adam’s sessions you will develop very quickly. I now play with the former club of 2 time-World Player of the Year-Ronaldinho Gaucho, Paris St. Germain (PSG) U13 team in France and Adam helped me get here.” Shannon Locke- Full Ride Scholarship University of Tulsa Soccer Program“At the end of 10 week program it absolutely exceeded all expectations like no other Training Program had, and continues to do so every year. It’s fantastic! I can’t say enough about Adam’s Program. He trains you hard, building you up from the very basics and we accomplish something every session. Adam makes everyone feel like your 1 on 1 and he gives you the individualized attention you need to get better. I have corrected my running style, increased my speed and improved my agility, fitness and core strength. My brother and I are so incredibly pumped after each session”. Doug Locke- Father, ”Shannon and my son, Chris, look forward to Adam’s training not only to maintain and learn, but because they really enjoy it, even at the ages of 18 and 15. They even practice at home. Adam makes it fresh, competitive and fun at all levels. Adam’s Speed Science training especially targets required soccer specific skills that relate to defensive and offensive quickness, change of pace and direction, acceleration, deceleration and core strength. Shannon played Provincial Level soccer in 3 National and 5 USA ODP Level Tournaments and was a member of the National Training Center. She trains with Adam in the summer in preparation for her upcoming season with the University of Tulsa in Oklahoma”.
