Scottsdale Combine

I must of re-wrote this post 3 or 4 times but I still haven’t found the words that I’m looking for

This will have to do..

Big G, You changed my life! You believed in me when I didn’t believe in myself.
You taught me to never quit on a worthy cause.
You would say to me:“Consistence and Persistence makes champions”
You influenced my mind to dream big and my heart to show compassion.
You gave me the knowledge of Weight training. Where technique
and form was never sacrificed for heavier weight. Paying attention to detail was your gift you handed down to me.
Your Designed approach to fitness influenced my path to success as a Gym owner and a man.
Save a spot for me underneath the squat rack in heaven,
but not yet..I still have some work to do.❤️

Welcome 2nd class .franze .1 into The Scottsdale Combine Banner of Fame! If you’re name is on one of these banners, you represent what a Scottsdale Combine athlete is. Just to name a few qualities: Work ethic, consistent, competitive, determined, leadership, resilient, and an unwavering will to succeed! You are the best of the best!

Win in the gym..Win in life!! You all are in my Forever category and your legacy lives on within these walls. Thank you all💯

It is a great feeling to prepare an athlete for the field of competition. Every once in a while, we’ll find someone that goes beyond sports and into adulthood. .baxxter is one of them.
Life after High School Sports can be difficult finding your way through life. At some point, the sport you played and loved will be stripped away due to various circumstances. The real question is what’s left? What did you learn and where will life’s journey take you?

Figuring this out takes time, courage, and determination to be great! It also takes a great deal of maturity and character to run AT your fears..Josh Baxter is that guy!! However, It didn’t happen overnight.

Personally, I have seen this young man at his worst. Self doubt is filled with destructive tendencies. Choices made between the ages of 13-19 stunted his growth and development as an athlete and a person. Receiving a call from Josh about a year ago to come back to my program was an encouraging one. Discussing his goals and getting back into shape, physically and mentally for a higher purpose was our mindset. I believe in 2nd chances. Knowing the support of his family and that he was not alone was half the battle. His faith in me to get him there was all I needed. Bottom line, he was ready at the age of 20 to get past what was holding him back.
Fast forward to now, I’m here to tell you that the foundation of the past was laid and not forgotten. It was my job and my team of amazing coaches to bring out the best in him. The confidence he now has and the humble spirit sets him up for a successful and happy life! I am beyond proud and humbled myself to see this fine young man’s development into a success story in the making!
God Speed Josh💯

This is the essence of what we do at Scottsdale Combine.

Emotional day for Scottsdale Combine. One of our athletes .franze is leaving AZ and heading to to play college football. We have prepared him to the best of our ability. We wish him a healthy and productive season!
Personally, I have a lot to say about Jacob. He was 12 years old when he started training with me. 6 years have gone by and it seems like a minute. As his strength coach, I told him that his form and technique needed to be perfect before increasing the weight. He absorbed everything at such a rapid pace we never stopped increasing the weight💪🏽 Little did I know, 12 year old Jacob was a perfectionist. My point is this..Jake does everything right! He approaches life with a will and determination to succeed. His mind is processing information faster than I can get a sentence together to correct him…He’s already found the answer😳 I also had the honor to be his High School LB coach. He applied the same mindset to football..Figured it out and started for the past 3 years. He literally ran the Defense on the field for 3 years, while playing 3 different positions. My other point is this: Put him in any environment and he’ll find a way..Not only to succeed, but to lead his teammates to a victory. THE Smartest player I’ve ever coached. I will tremendously miss him on the daily..But I’m so excited to watch his development into a leader of men. Big things ahead! God Speed Jacob💯🏈

.gray15 is heading out to Trinity University in Texas, running track for the Tigers!! We have trained CC for 2 seasons and now it’s time to say goodbye for now😢. Looks can be deceiving when it comes to shear strength! There is a whole lotta power packed into her small frame! All her primary numbers were far above anyone her size. The willingness to push further and breakthrough barriers is a clear indication of how strong she is in the mind as well. Her quickness and speed in the gym directly related to her performance in her events. The hard work and determination to be great showed up! We are so proud to send her off to the next level where she will continue to shine and achieve success.
God Speed CC💯🏃‍♀️

Another athlete moving forward to play at the next level! is heading off to college in Florida to play Lacrosse. She has been a part of our SC family for 3 years. It could be quite intimidating when you’re working out with mostly boy athletes, but Addy didn’t flinch! She jumped right into our program with her goals in mind. The focus and drive to get better was innate and also developed through her efforts. The proof is in her work ethic and determination to play on. Nothing will stand in her way until the goal is accomplished. That is the root of success and what a Scottsdale Combine athlete stands on. So proud of her accomplishments! Many many more success stories in her future. God Speed Addy💯

Sending off another Stud athlete today😃🥲 .1 is heading to Kansas to play college football. Joining the Scottsdale Combine family early this year..he probably put in 2 years of work in 7 months time. Dedicating most of his day to training and eating!
Packing on some weight, getting stronger, and gaining speed was our goal. Mission accomplished! The proof is in the numbers and he passes the eye test! It’s been an absolute pleasure preparing him for what’s to come. I know his athleticism and character will stand above the competition. God Speed CT💯💪🏽

It’s that time again. Sending off another next level athlete to pursue their dreams!
I had the privilege to prepare him for 3 seasons. Their are many positive words I can use to describe him, but the one word that sticks out.. Coachable! If you ever taught anyone something of value and they picked up on what you were teaching, then you know what that word means and what a great joy it brings to the teacher. Luke is the epitome of this word! He Listens to small details, studies hard, and applies new information to perfection. Not only does he learn with his brain but with his heart as well. The trust between a Coach and an athletes relationship is a big part of moving them forward…This TRUST was established Day 1! His mentality matched my own! I know I got his best and he got mine! My advice is to be Fear-Less in everything you do! The future is bright young man!! Nothing but great things ahead Luke! God Speed 💯

Almost that time again..Another graduating class through Scottsdale Combine, playing at the next level. It’s been a tough road for this class to say the least. The uncontrollable circumstances of the world have influenced our athletes to grow up pretty quick! If you were to speak to anyone of these boys, I know for a fact it would be nothing less than respectful, intelligent, and a heartfelt mind behind the words. When I look at all the crap that’s going on in the world, I focus on who God has put in front of me. That’s my inspiration..That’s my encouragement..That’s my passion!! This keeps me moving forward. God Speed boys!!💯
