| | Manny, I would like to thank you for showing me a different approach to my strength and endurance training, and most of all for helping me to improve my diet. During the summer of 2003 I decided to take a chance at working with you based on your background as a competitive athlete and a creditable trainer and I have been very happy with that decision. One of my biggest problems as a professional athlete was losing weight and experiencing early fatigue during the NHL season. Also, after several weeks of an intense game schedule and traveling 2 to 4 times a week it was hard to maintain peek performance all season. After training with you, during the 2003/ 2004 season I was able to maintain my body weight of 208 lbs and played at peek performance all game and for months at a time without having to take a break. I was given the title of NHL Florida Panther player of the year, best average game saves and nominated for the Vezina trophy along with 2 other NHL goalies for best goalie in the league. I enjoyed working with you during the off season and look forward to taking my game to the next level doing my job as a Florida Panther, breaking new records, and becoming NHL goalie of the year. Thank you, Roberto Luongo / NHL Florida Panther / Goalie #1 | |
