Where is she now?

I've been busy, which isn't a bad thing for me, except I've ignored my website.

My previous post was about my long-time client Ally Kirkpatrick and how she's been training to improve her game in soccer, as she prepared for her freshman year at Kutztown University.

So, how did she do?

Ally had an excellent first year playing soccer for Kutztown. She had the distinction of scoring the FIRST GOAL of the fall season (which was the ONLY GOAL in the game) and the LAST GOAL of the spring season. What a thrill it must have been for Ally to WIN the very first game of her college career!

I understand, from talking to her mother (who is also a personal training client), that Ally will receive an award at a November banquet for being the Freshman Female Scholar-Athlete of the Year. How awesome is that!

Congratulations Ally. It's good to see all that hard work pay off. Big time.

Now, back to the workout.

More work, better play


 Ally Kirkpatrick started working with Rupp Fitness the summer before her freshman year in high school. 

Her focus: training to enhance her game in soccer. Her result: impressive.

As a forward, Ally's honors include starting varsity her freshman through senior years. She was named captain her senior year (2013-14).  

She made the All-Central and All-Delco teams in her junior and senior years.      

Now Ally is working with Rupp Fitness in preparation for her freshman soccer season at Kutztown University.

Ally's workouts include a variety of exercises, some sports-specific, others to build strength, speed, and stamina. At top left, she works a 4-square agility drill; below she does power cleans to a push press.
