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
