REAL WORLD RESULTS
“During the Thanksgiving holiday week, my wife (Shalonda Solomon), an Adidas sponsored track and field athlete as well as previous National Champion, need a place to complete her lifting work out. We were so lucky to have contacted Jaxson of JASAT. Our experience was awesome! Not only was Shalonda, able to complete her workouts, but she was also able to learn new lifting techniques the will definitely help her in the future. I too was able to learn new exercises and can’t wait to add them to my training plan. Jaxson was truly a Godsend and give us such an invaluable experience. Anyone who is looking to learn proper mechanics, needs to look no further. JASAT is where it is at!”
– Selim Nurudeen, 2x Olympic Semi-Finalist 110m Hurdles
“In the two years I spent working with Jaxson, it was clear to me that I was around one of the most driven, hard-working competitors that I have encountered in all my years coaching and playing football. He has a passion for getting the most out of himself and his athletes, and for kids who have a desire to become better athletes. There is no better person to push you than Jaxson. He knows what it takes to perform at the highest level and the work it takes to get there.”
– Zac Taylor, Head Coach of the Cincinnati Bengals
“Jaxson was a tremendous player at Texas A&M; his dedication and work ethic were the epitome of Aggie Football. He was a player that I looked up to and admired his tenacity on the field. Jaxson knows what it takes to compete at one of the highest levels. I have no doubt he will carry that into his new field training athletes.”
– Cody Wallace, Pittsburgh Steelers OL NFL
“Coach Appel has done it at every level of the sport and knows what it takes to be successful. He demands hard work because it breeds success and gets the desired results.”
– Cole Anderson, Iowa State Cyclones TE Big 12
“Jaxson Appel’s training has proved extremely helpful. Since being trained by him, I have undoubtedly become a better athlete. He is a detailed instructor who has a goal to make sure his students understand the proper mechanics. This references running form as well as correct lifting form and has led to increasing my strength, speed, agility, and flexibility. I would encourage athletes within the Houston area to train with him. Jaxson Appel’s detailed training has led to me become an all-around better athlete.”
– Anthony Makransky #19, University of Wyoming
“In just 5 short weeks of working with Jaxson over my winter break, I could definitely see the difference in my strength, footwork, and running form. I was in an environment where I was constantly pushed and motivated, but Jaxson took the time to learn how much my body could handle so I didn’t do anything unnecessary to hurt myself. At the end of the season, I was not where I needed to be. After working with Jaxson over the break, I returned to school confident that I was in a good place physically to start off-season. Thank you Jaxson!”
– Jesse Brewster, University of Lamar OL
“JASAT is a special program. When you reach the collegiate level of play, it’s no longer who works the hardest but the combination of hard work and attention to detail. That’s what JASAT brings. Not only do you work hard, but every motion is calculated and corrected to perfection. This includes warm-ups, running form, and weight training. That is the difference between a role player and an all-conference player, and that’s why I chose to work with JASAT. I would recommend any athlete serious about getting better at their craft to work with Jaxson and his team.”
– Jimmy Bauer, Colorado School of Mines LB
“Training with Jaxson was a great experience. In the short amount of time we spent training, I learned a number of things. One thing that stuck out to me was the fact that he demonstrated every movement that was included throughout the entire workout. Each day he emphasized certain things which kept me focused throughout the workout. From on the field speed training to the weight lifting, the information I received are things I will use for the remainder of my time playing football. Training with Jaxson was something I always wanted to do. Growing up in Friendswood as a little kid he was always someone I looked up to as a football player. He also spent some time in the NFL, so it’s nice to learn from someone who has accomplished something you are trying to do! Not only is he a great coach, he is someone I can reach out to and receive advice from outside of just training and football.”
– Johnathon Johnson, University of Tennessee WR
