PALS -Trained 8 years Trent Laffoon:
I trained with Chat starting when I was 13. Youth Performance helped me be competitive in my soccer career growing up. After a year of coming in three times a week I noticed a significant difference in my overall strength. I continued training there throughout club soccer, high school and even trained there in the summers in between college season. Without Youth Performance, I would not have had the chance to compete at the collegiate level or be as competitive in my level of play throughout the years.
Maggie Davis, OSU, Lexi Thompson, Dental Hygienist, Rachel Krutz, Colorado College Volleyball Hannah Curtis, OU:
When asked what are some of your favorite memories of Youth Performance, I say ANYTIME WITH CHAT! YP was a second home to my friends and I. We probably annoyed the trainers to no end. The fact that we felt comfortable enough to watch the series finale of Pretty Little Liars while working out and messing with the trainers was the ego boost none of us needed. Jokes aside, my favorite memories were from the summer of 2020. My dream internship in NYC was cancelled, so I was back in Norman for the summer. I woke up everyday at 5 A.M. to work out and get all kinds of advice from Chat. I have too many memories from YP to pick a favorite but making vines at the old facility with Chat and my best friends would make the list.
Trained 6 years, OKC firefighter Brady Davis:
When I first started working with Chat. I was skinny, uncoordinated and unconfident. Chat showed me what to do to gain size, coordination and how to find confidence in myself.
My favorite memory of working with Chat was the constant back forth joking with each other during a workout.
