2008

Male - Mark Stachelski, Men's Soccer
Height: 5'9" Weight: 155
Bench Press: 240
Vertical Jump: 31.4
Power Clean: 0
40-Yard Dash: 4.7
Agility: 4.17
Squat: 340
"Mark has made improvements in all areas of his athleticism, including his anaerobic fitness, vertical power, agility and strength levels. Mark has a never-say-die attitude which is well respected and contagious amongst his teammates. Because of this attitude, Mark has achieved an 18-7 on the Yo-Yo IR Beep Test and can broad jump 1.5x his height. He has improved his bench press from 205 to 240 pounds and squat from 300 to 340 pounds within 1.5 years. Mark's attention to details and willingness to get it right the first time has helped build UAB Men's Soccer into a highly respected team across the country."

Female - Jenny Meyer, Women's Soccer
Height: 5'5" Weight: 130
Bench Press: 135
Vertical Jump: 23.6
Power Clean: 0
40-Yard Dash: 4.6
Agility: 4.34
Squat: 180
"After an injury-plagued sophomore year and a broken leg during post-season play in 2006, Jenny Meyer has battled back every time. She trains, lifts and plays like she has never had a torn ACL or broken leg. She still managed to improve her bench from 90 to 135 pounds and her squat from 115 to 180 pounds over her career. Jenny is one of the fastest athletes I have ever worked with. She is mechanically sound, always in great condition but always ready to extend herself out of her comfort zone. She is a true student of both strength and conditioning and soccer. She will be missed by the performance staff as well as her coaching staff."
