As a trainer, coach, and author, I am expected to know a lot about training athletes. But when the times come that I am stumped, or need clarification, there is only one person I trust going to: Roger Nelsen.

He is one of the smartest and most dedicated coaches I have ever come across. His wealth of knowledge, creativity, and openness to new ideas has set him way apart from the rest. I would not only trust to leave my athletes in his hands, but I would even feel 100% comfortable and confident leaving my own training in his hands. Roger is simply "top notch."
