“Playing in the NBA as an undrafted player for 9 years with the same team is difficult and almost unachievable. But if you spend every summer in the weight room and conditioning with a coach that has a plan, a goal, and a desire to help you improve, it can happen. Working with Coach Foran was a major reason why I was able to succeed in the NBA.”

“I was lightly recruited out of high school, but at Miami, Coach Foran helped to get me strong, explosive, and well conditioned. I ended up winning the Outland Trophy and was was the #1 pick in the NFL Draft. During my career, I won 2 National Championships in college, and 3 Super Bowls in the NFL; and I owe much of my success to being in shape to perform.”
