During the middle of my high school career I acquired the want to play college football. I wanted to take extra steps on my own to get me closer to my dream. MKU was perfect in helping me be more of a college athlete. MKU has a great brotherhood enivornment and the coaches have been where I want to go. The coaches still to this day keep track of my current college career.

My experience with MKU was more than helpful. MKU is the reason why I am at the University of Akron. I can remember running hills early in the morning with Austin; and doing combine training with Steve at Goodyear Field. I plan on training with MKU this summer, so I encourage every athlete who want to take there play to the next level to come and participate with me and MKU.

My experience at MKU has always been beneficial not only towards my athletics but also towards my life. The staff members are mentors as well as coaches. They always check up on me to see how I'm doing and give me words of wisdom. MKU is a big family and I'm happy to be apart of it.

My experience with MKU has been life changing, we do more then just train Steve, Austin and a lot more people involved give us good advice on life. They helped me take my skills to a whole new level, they made me believe in my skill level and that I could compete with the best of the best. MKU will forever be part of my life rather I'm playing or not, its a brotherhood.

MKU has taught me many things on the field and help me understand the game of football in ways I never knew. Most importantly is the way Weedie was there for me off the field also. The things people don't see about MKU is what I will cherish the most. Joining MKU gave me another big brother figure in Weedie. Someone I call upon at anytime and for anything. MKU is not somewhere where we just come to workout, its a family, a brotherhood.

The experience is great. I enjoy working with athletes similar to me that have the same goals in mind that I do. We compete against each other to try and reach those goals.

My experience with MKU I can say it was a great one it was a workout that I can say honestly help me in many ways such as foot work my agility and different types of running endurance workouts from stairs to hills. I feel it's a great program and extremely helpful not just some workout made up from the guy next door.

MKU played a big role in me developing as a student-athlete. They helped me take my game to another level. They pushed me to my limits everyday and made me into a better all around athlete. Which lead to me accomplishing a lot of my goals and exceeding expectations. They also helped me grow into a better young man by teaching me to never settle and always try to be great at whatever you. I would highly recommend MKU to any kids trying to get better and become a better athlete.

My experience with MKU is a good one. They help me stay in shape year round. They have a lot of experience coaches who been in college and pro's that I can ask different questions to. They are good role models and have good athletes for me to compete against when I'm training. Its a good program to be apart of instead of being in the streets.

MKU has had an huge impact on my life and football career. MKU has been there for me on and off the field, helped me understand that hard work pays off. Not only are they good trainers but they are very experienced and great mentors!!! #weworkin

MKU has helped me out with football in so many ways, to become a better player, and a even a better teammate. Working with Coach Weedie has been great for me because he is some I can look up to not only as a football player but also an mentor in life itself. He takes time out of his life and family to make sure that all of his kids are on the right track with school and grades. Hel so make sure that we are always on top of our game weather its on the field, weight room, or even conditioning. I enjoy how him and his other coaches conduct their self in a respectable manner but always having us compete like we don't know each other!

Last summer was my first time training with MKU and I loved the everyday competition. Coach Clopton not only trained us but he trained with us, while also lending advice on matters outside of sports. If you're an athlete that wants to take a step in reaching your full potential I strongly suggest you try MKU.

For me MKU has brought my level of competition up. Working out with coach Weedie humbled me and made me realize there is always room to improve rather its speed or being a student of the game. We changed the term #weworkin from a slogan to a lifestyle. I also respect MKU because it focuses primarily around our area so we can produce better athletes. I came in as just an aspiring athlete, I left with a brotherhood of athletes all wanting the samething and the attitude to always BE GREAT!

Great and fun experience. I learned a lot about the game of football in general. I worked a lot of ways to get off the ball and how to properly run my 40. I learned things that I didn't even think about like stretching correctly and I did a lot of position and feetwork drills which has helped me a lot this football season.
