What They Say About Us
"The training Tim Robertson provided me for the 2009 NFL Combine/Pro Day was what I expected: comprehensive, individualized and intense. The “Rocky” mentality of the facility and his experience training other pro athletes prepared me for my pro-day where I ran the fastest short shuttle time in the draft. Ultimately, my goal of getting drafted was accomplished. I recommend Speed Strength and Tim Robertson to any football player who wants to get better."
