"My UCLA junior year was a critical draft year for me. After experiencing left forearm soreness during my sophomore season in junior college, which slowed the velocity on my fastball 3-4 mph, I needed to improve and validate my pitching velocity for the baseball scouts. I met with P3’s Dr. Marcus Elliott who assessed my problem and identified my forearm tightness to be a result of muscles that were weak. We strategized on ways to strengthen all the core muscles including quicker hip rotation and creating more forearm flexibility. The results were immediate. My fastball velocity increased from 87-89 mph to 89-91 mph after two-two hour sessions with Dr. Elliott. I’ve been working with P3 for the last 3 years. Now I am in the majors and competing at the highest level." David Huff |

Comments
"P3 exposed me to an all new type of training philosophy. Some aspects of the training done in this program I had been exposed to before, but they had never been articulated as clearly and combined into a program that seemed to make as much sense. P3's staff doesn't simply tell an athlete to do something and then walk away; they work with the athletes in order to make sure that the athletes not only are doing the exercises correctly, but that they understand what they are doing and what they can gain from this training."

Comments
"I had a fantastic 2 months at P3- I had a few options to gain conditioning experience for the summer of '06, but cannot imagine going anywhere else and getting so much out of an experience. For sports science students or exercise physiologists, P3 is an ideal place to go and apply/learn the most effective and specific ways to use current scientific principals in formulating quality power, speed and strength training programs. My time at P3 also allowed me to gain fantastic coaching experience, working with athletes with various experience ranging from high school athletes to Olympians. I have never come across such a detailed, conscientious and knowledgeable coach as Marcus and will remember my time at P3 with fond memories.”
