agility, strength and plyometrics. The workouts were very challenging, but
enjoyable at the same time. He pushed me to my limits constantly. His methods
of training definitely helped me play basketball at the Division 1 level. As a point
guard, I was in great shape and felt faster than any other player on any team we
played. I gained more confidence and my level of play increased as well as my
speed. I would definitely work with him again"

"Jazz could 'hang' with any point guard in the country in terms of defending them
laterally and with her quickness, especially when we played those 5 top 25
programs. We NEEDED Jazz on the opposing teams point guard"
-- Beckie Francis, Head Basketball Coach, Oakland University
"Roger, and Sport X Training are excellent at what they do. When it comes to
training for soccer, I have found them to be a tremendous source of first class
training information! I would recommend them to any athlete."

"We were fortunate to have Roger White conduct a 5 hour seminar about speed
training all the techniques that entails during our Rite Stuff Camp. We had 26
Football Coaches and 139 football players in attendance. There grade range
was from 9th.- 12th. grade and some players entering into their Freshman year
in college this fall. My early concerns of keeping that many and that age groups
attention for 5 hours were quickly dispelled Mr. White total preparation and
interactive skills with all the age groups. His personal energy level and
communications skills are phenomenal. I am 70 years old and have been a
Fortune 500 executive for 2 Fortune companies, owned my own business and
coached football for a number of years now and have never witnessed any
better that Roger White in presenting his program. He will always be a welcome
guest at any of our programs.
--Jack Rowan
Head High School Football Coach
"Coach, Just wanted to let you know that my son Luke took second at the
Oakland County Middle School Track Meet in the 200M dash. Both Luke and I
are positive that the result of your training program made a significant
difference: how he is out of the blocks, form & leg strength."

"My son has been working with Roger for almost two years, and we have seen
great improvement in his flexibility and agility. Roger has also implemented a
strength training workout plan for him, in which he has not only gotten stronger,
but also learned proper weight lifting techniques. The thing that Roger has
helped the most with is my son’s confidence. The positive teaching techniques
and reinforcement has been invaluable. I have been so pleased with Roger and
his programs that our high school has enlisted him to work with our entire
football class. The students have taken to Roger very well, and work very hard
for him. Roger’s knowledge and teaching techniques make his training program
great for any one in any sport at any age."
---Mike Garrett, Parent & High School Coach
"Since joining the Sport X Training program, not only has my son's speed
improved, but there is a noticeable difference in his flexibility and balance.
Roger is passionate about what he does, and his techniques work. I highly
recommend the program."

"My daughter Ariel has been training with Roger for approximately one and one
half years, more intensively during this past year. She is in eighth grade, runs
track and plays travel soccer at the Premier level with the Michigan Gators. As
this track season began she posted personal best times at practice for the 70,
100 and 200 meter races. Two meets into the season she has broken the
school record for the 100, and certainly will improve her times in all three events.
She has finished first in all her races at all distances. With regard to soccer
performance she has advanced to the highest level team and is playing "up"
one age group with another team, showing measurable gains in speed strength
and agility. She has been injury- free during the entire time she has trained with
Roger, a tribute to his thorough conditioning regimen. In my opinion Roger is an
expert in his field. While it is true that I am first a parent, I have a Masters
Degree from one of the top three research programs in Physical Education
throughout the country (Michigan State University), so I am quite familiar with the
principles of exercise physiology. Equally as important in training with youth is
the ability to connect, and Roger is superb at developing youth talent while
infusing motivation and realistic wisdom. As a Principal and Educator for many
years, it is obvious to me that Roger is the perfect fit for youth that have the
motivation to improve their skills. His rapport with his athletes is exceptional, and
he is 100% dedicated to his program."
---Al Katsimpalis, Ed.D., Parent
"Roger White trains both our sons and we have seen tremendous improvement
in their speed, strength and agility. With training that is sport-specific, Roger
customizes drills and demonstrates techniques that are sure to get our sons to
the next level. Roger devotes many hours to developing his training system and
he is completely dedicated to his clients' success."
---Donna & Milan Radich, Parents
" Roger has worked with our baseball program for the past 2 years and I have
seen huge improvement in our overall team speed, agility and quickness.
Baseball is a game of inches and with Rogers dedication and hard work our
players are taking advantage of every inch they can gain. Besides being
dedicated and hard working, Roger truely cares about each player. Everyone of
our players look forward to working with him and wouldn't use any other trainer."
--Mike Morris, Troy Athens Head Varsity Baseball Coach
As the head coach of an elite summer baseball team that has eleven players
headed to play college baseball and as an assistant high school varsity baseball
coach I believe one of the key elements you must have with your players and
support groups is "trust". We are working with athletes and you must surround
yourself with people you care about them and their well being. I trust Roger with
all my players. To go a step further I am also a parent of a varsity player and a
college baseball player. I trust Roger with my kids also. He is always looking out
for their best interest and is looking to help them maximize their potential while
keeping their overall health as a high priority. Our baseball team at Troy Athens
had only won a few league titles and even fewer district titles in their 31 year
existence. We brought Roger in to help train our players in the off season and
for the first time in our school history our baseball program won the league title
and the district title in the same year. Our class of 2007 speed, quickness and
fitness level was a direct result from Rogers training and a major factor in our
success.

"My children are involved in several different sports. I had the advantage of
watching Roger work with clients while my daughter Laura was doing different
training at the same facility. I saw how he worked well with his clients and they
respected what he wanted them to do because they all took the training
seriously. It was a big advantage to see his program in action before signing up
for it. Additionally, the location and cost made the program work for us. Laura
has always had speed. She has been one of the fastest runners on her team.
As she begins to grow into her body she was losing stability and coordination
when she would run. Roger has helped her to re-gain control over these growth
changes and use this to her advantage in increasing speed and running
technique. Roger’s program’s success can be measured on and off the field.
On the field you can see structural changes. Running technique changes and
improves, the speed of your player increases dramatically, and others can see
these changes. But the biggest change that can't be measured or seen by the
average person is the way that Roger relates to his clients and how he makes
them feel better about themselves. Most players that work with Roger are
coming into their adult bodies, entering puberty, and are growing and changing
rapidly. What also changes is there confidence in the kid’s ability to be
successful as they get older and see the competition changing in size also. The
competition may be growing faster than they are - thus making them doubt their
skills and ability when competing with players bigger than them. Roger's best
asset is his ability to get the players to feel good about themselves, and regain
the confidence as a player. This new found confidence as a young adult, plus
the additional skills acquired with speed and strength training, is the key to the
success as a growing player."
--Diane Johnston, Parent
"Laura's speed has allowed her to run down through balls offensively and
recover quickly defensively. She is on her way to becoming one of my most
dangerous forwards. When Laura first came to Waza she was playing two years
up. She attended every extra training sessions becoming technically sound and
creative. However, she never really had the 'guts' to show these skills around
her older teammates or competitors. Roger, your training has made an
awesome impact on Laura. She is a very different player than she was in the
Fall. Thanks for your great work."
--Phil Moore, Soccer Coach, WAZA FC
"I was interested in training with you because I had witnessed some
of your work first hand. I realized that training with you would help
me strength my weaknesses in speed and agility. I felt this would give
me an edge over my competition. I was expecting lots of plyometric work and
some form running. In reality, it was actually more than that. We did more
things with a medicine ball than I knew were possible, and really hit the explosive
training hard and consistently. The summer training helped me tremendously
for college. I was able to pass our required fitness test with flying colors. I set
personal bests in timed 2 mile, sit ups until failure, and push ups to failure.
Besides the fitness, I became quicker, which added a new element to my game.
My advice is that being a college athlete is a full time commitment. You train your
bodies hard to endure the bumps and bruises of a long tedious season. In
terms of soccer, I believe the major changes are physicality and speed of play.
Skill alone will not alone a player to be great. The player has to be explosive
and have the ability to outwork his or her opponents."
--Andy Klenner, current college Goalie
