  • Speed
  • Explosive Power
  • Body Control and Awareness
  • Agility
  • Foot Speed
  • Core Strength

  • Balance
  • Overall Conditioning
  • Flexibility
  • Injury Prevention

Our program will be realized through the use of:

  • Sprint/Speed Drills
  • Callisthenic Exercises
  • Multi-directional Agility Drills
  • Resistance Training
  • Conditional Exercises
  • Plyometrics
  • Ball Drills

 "To our friends, instructors, and directors, at ESP Sports Performance,

My son and I would like to pass along a huge Thank You to Instructors Chris Simon and Macey Brooks for their help in training Noah Hibler this past winter. He has exploded into many ‘personal bests’ thanks to your work and encouragement with him prior to the 2013 track season.

Noah is an 8th grader at Liberty Junior HS in New Lenox, IL and like many kids, he loves to run. As a 7th grader he was successful as a member of Liberty’s 4 x 200m 7th grade relay team which had the 9th fastest qualifying time in the state last year. The relay team made it to state where they recorded their best time of the year. This has fueled Noah to take formal training and improve his track skills even more. With ESP owner Tadd Gibson’s advice and leadership, Noah was connected with the staff at ESP to take his first formal track training sessions. With Director of Training Amy Brooks’ help in coordinating our visits, Noah trained directly with coaches Chris Simon and Macey Brooks.

Here are some of Noah’s track performances and results so far this year:

100m dash – broke the school record with a 12.1 time in the 100m during track meet at Summit Hill JHS, only needs .3 better to reach state qualifying time

110m hurdles – had never competed at hurdles up until 2 weeks ago yet has already grabbed 2 first places, and 2 third places in just 4 meets this season, he has a personal best of 19.0 seconds already

Long Jump – has a personal best of 16’8” during the second meet this season, he still needs 2 feet to reach state qualifying distance

200m dash – has a personal best of 25.0 during the third meet this season, only needs .6 better to reach state qualifying time

4 x 100m relay – Noah anchors a team that just executed a 50.3 (their best) during their meet at home this week, only need 1.3 seconds to reach state qualifying time

4 x 200m relay – Noah also anchors a team that has recorded a 1:45.8 (their best) which is only 2.3 seconds away from state qualifying time

Thanks to the training that he received at ESP, Liberty Junior HS has chosen Noah to represent them in 5 events for the championship portion of the 2013 season: the Dupage Valley Conference Finals (May 7), the Illinois Sectional Finals (May 11), and hopefully, the IESA State Finals in Peoria, IL (May 17, 18).

Thank you again to all the ESP staff. ."

"Macey & Tony -- I know both you guys are so dedicated to training you give to the kids. I wanted share a recent moment from 55 M dash Glenbard HS Track. Sara has never run track before. Nice to see ESP training impacting her form and capabilities. -Andy Stankoskey"

"I am so happy with the progress Anthony has made working 1 on 1 with Macey! Anthony is noticeably quicker, faster, stronger more aggressive and more confident in all aspects of his soccer game. His coaches, peers and even other player’s parents have commented over the past few weeks. He loves Macey and loves going to each and every session, last week he asked me if he can go 3 or 4 nights a week, I told him to get a job so he can start paying for this stuff!!" - Anthony Falcone Sr.
