“Growing Up Gamespeed”: Two Longtime Athletes Donate Pro Jerseys

Gamespeed’s been a part of athletes lives in the Bay Area for over twenty years now. I’ve trained hundreds of athletes. Like anything they come and go. However there are some who spend most of their athletic lives with me. Case in point Cheyenne Cordes and Robert Stephenson. I am proud to have played a part in their athletic development and watch them grow as individuals and athletes.

They have given me some of the most memorable moments of my coaching career and now have added to that by giving me autographed replicas of their pro jerseys. You guys are a true inspiration to me and the future generations of Gamespeed athletes.

Thank You.

Cheyenne Cordes (Softball – Infield)

As a middle school athlete Cheyenne came to me and we’ve worked together now for over twelve years. A standout at Rodriguez High then onto CAL and now in the National Pro Fastpitch League playing her first pro season with the Rebellion but recently traded to the Texas Charge.

 

Robert Stephenson (Baseball – Pitcher)

Its been eight years since Robert first joined Gamespeed. We’ve watched him develop into a top high school […]

Lacrosse Goalie spends her Christmas break giving herself the gift of SPEED

Clare Laughery plays for Central Michigan University. Part of her schools fitness testing is running a 300 yard shuttle. Her previous attempts were around 90 plus sec. She couldn’t break that barrier. Over the break she got to work attending fourteen private sessions with Gamespeed’s coach Aaron and earlier this week she was happy to report she tested at 73 seconds. That’s a whopping 17 seconds off her previous time. Way to go Clare!

Gamespeed Tennis and Baseball players begin 2017 as signed athletes.

Congratulations to Sydney Smyth and Brett Sterrer.  Both signed to play at the next level in December.

 

Sydney Smyth a GS Tennis athlete since 2014 has worked diligently to improve her game. Her programs consisted of improving her running technique, speed, lateral movement & agility and developing strength.  In just a couple months her work moved her up from 199th to 46th in NorCal USTA rankings.  Good enough to have the coaches at Arizona Christian University to take notice.

 

 

Bret Sterrer  has been GS trained since 2012. His program has consisted of improving overall conditioning and pitching velocity. Its been a real pleasure watching Bret grow from a freshman into a young collegiate level athlete. He will continue his work at GS in the College Ready Program. The program builds athletes physically and mentally to transition to the demands of college sports.

Are You College Ready?

Hi Aaron!

“Just wanted to give you an update on how the fall has gone so far. I feel that you have prepared me beyond words for the life of a college athlete. Right when we started conditioning and weights, I felt prepared for everything. Our first week, we had a 300 yard shuttle run test, and I […]

Rays’ Chih-Wei Hu: Added to 40-man roster

Big congrats goes out to Gamespeeds Robin Hu (Chih-Wei Hu). He came to Gamespeed in 2013 with one goal, to make a major league roster and play professionally.  He is one step closer now. The Taiwanese native has undergone Gamespeed’s highest level of training and management program conducted by Aaron Thigpen and coach Tony Laio. The program focuses on developing major league talent under stringent guidelines physically, mentally, technically, and tactically.  The results have been the Ray’s organizations overall leader in ERA for the 2016 season.  He hits 98mph, sits at 94mph and has a “PalmBall”  that mystifies batters. He’ll be back at Gamespeed this December to continue his journey.  Cant wait to get started.

 

 

Rays’ Chih-Wei Hu: Added to 40-man roster

by RotoWire Staff Nov 19, 2016 •

Hu was added to the Rays’ 40-man roster Friday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

The right-hander turned in a fine season in 2016, posting a 2.59 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 107:36 K:BB in 24 starts for Double-A Montgomery, showing enough to warrant protection from the Rule 5 draft. Hu may not have the upside of some of the other arms in the organization, but he has a chance to contribute late […]
