Another One Bites the Dust

Today was our first full day of conditioning and it went better than expected. Especially for athletes DeSagana Diop and Jeremiah Cutts.(who was my pick to throw up first today). Things didn't fair that well for basketball player, Big Joe. After the AquaShock pool workout and then hills, he was teetering on the brink of puking. It looked like he had kicked it by time we got back indoors at Oakland University. I personally think he was using the chew and re-swallow method but it didn't matter. It eventually got the best of him.

Here Comes the Sun.....

I know, I know, it's been a while but life sometimes gets in the way of our hobbies. At the moment I am preparing for this summers Pro Basketball Training Camp at Oakland University. It starts June 2nd and runs through July 10th. Check out last years camp on youtube.
We had a blast and this year we have a newcomer DeSagana Diop from the Bobcats. Stay tuned for a fun, hard, wacky and successful summer.

The Tale of Two Spirits

If you love what you do, there is a thrill in just waking up in the morning. Each day brings you one step closer to revealing the gift you have discovered about yourself. I have had the luxury of feeling that way about what I do for the last 24 years, and the things I have discovered amaze me.
The young men and women who are training with us this year are all on the same road of discovery and all possess that love for what they do, adding to the joy I experience each day.
We have every sports story you can image from the comeback to the best in the nation. And as usual there are some unbelievable characters here...
Welcome Joique Bell from Wayne State. Joique led the nation in rushing, averaging over 200 yards per game and 18 points. Quite a feat at any level. We have Pepasports alum Demetrius Crawford back and leading the way for the young Bell. Demetrius is preparing for his indoor season beginning in March in Washington.These two will push each other toward there goals. Joique is preparing for the Senior Bowl on the 30th of January and then the NFL Combine in February.
These two young men are a joy to train and watch.

We're Baaaaaccck!

Well it's a new year, and according to all the doomsday fanatics, the beginning of the end, culminating in a planetary alignment that will end the world as we know it on 12/21/2012. How I look at it is, if it all ends, we won't be around to experience it so why worry about it, WE GOT WORK TO DO!
I have been busy as ever since my trip with Eddy to Jamaica. That was in September and now it's a whole new year.Eddy is back with the Knicks, and acclimating to the pro game again. The rest of the guys from this summer are all doing well. JR Smith, Nuggets...Jason Thompson, Kings...CDR, Nets...Rawle Marshall over in France, Cal Wooten in Germany and LeBron, Cavs.
Our consulting project with Oakland University Men Basketball program is going well as they are undefeated in their conference.
My work with Charles Rogers and his comeback has been put on hold. Charles is battling an addiction and our prayers go out to him. But while in Michigan we adopted another nephew in Joique Bell, Wayne States running back, who led the nation in rushing. He is such a bright lite, wait to you get a load of this joker. There is a lesson to be learned here athletes.."God is always making one better than you!" so work as hard as you can, as smart as you can, as right as you can and show the world your gifts.
I traveled to Freeport, Bahamas and adopted a track club called The Golden Eagles. Coach Dwayne Jennings invited me down to see the work he has been doing over the last 10 years and I was so impressed that I vowed to get him some help in the form of sponsorship. Plus we got another nephew by the name of Kenroy Woolery, 100m, 200m sprinter. He and Joiqure should probably never be in the same room together...lol
Well we are back in the Bay Area for another NFL Combine session. Man does time travel fast...that's why it's best you do what it is you love! "Otherwise the speed of time will breed regrets!"
So welcome back one and all and get ready for another unbelievable year of manifestation and magic!

Up Up And Away......

Well Jamaica was everything I expected and more. I never spent that much time in water in all my life. Eddy is a fish, and could spend all day in the water. He's dropped even more weight on this trip so he looks lean and ready. Ready for everything except Para Sailing....Check out Aqua Man

Last Days Of Camp.

We are finishing up here in Ocean city. Everyone here has been awesome! Thank you John Porter and the staff at EAP(Elite Athletic Performance), Dr John Greenburg, Big Dr. Christopher Sepanski, Mark(Da Mayor)Grimes, Dats, Ann Manatt, for traveling back and forth to make sure we were all good. And last but not least World Wide Wes.
I like to thank everyone who came out to train or just to give there support.
We put on one serious camp this summer and though I missed everyone in Oakland and regret not being able to be there with you, this was an opportunity of a lifetime. Pepasports has a new home on the East Coast in EAP and John Porter and I are going to pursue other ventures together.
We will be packing up and moving camp to New York this week to add the final chapter to the Eddy Curry Project. Eddy is doing great and is exactly at the goal we set for this summer with about a month to go before camp officially begins. That's about 50lbs shed in three months, INCREDIBLE! But that's the way camp has been, take a look at Mustapha Farrakhans incredible dunk today at the end of practice.

Ocean City Camp

OK guys we're back!. It's been two months since the last blog and so much has transpired since then I don't know where to begin. From Rochester MI, to Las Vegas, to Chicago and now Ocean City, NJ, which is right down the parkway from Atlantic City for those of you who didn't know. (I would have been one of those who didn't know.)Ocean City is a resort town and there are hundreds of thousands vacationing here. There's a boardwalk several miles long and miles of beach. We have been here for a couple of weeks now and camp is going wonderful. For those of you keeping up with the Eddy Curry project in the press, Eddy is now 319lbs. He lost over 40 lbs so far. The goal weight was 310 before Sept 1st so looks like no problem. And the new muscle should impress everyone.



Along with Eddy we have had JR Smith from the Denver Nuggets and Jason Thompson from the Sacramento Kings.







Former NBA player, Rawle Marshall now playing in Spain, had it rough after a month lay off. First day is always the worst.
