Zach Northey
Here’s a guy who’s had more than his share of trauma to his young body. Last year, Lincoln East tennis player, Zac Northey, broke both ankles and had heart surgery to correct a heart irregularity. Not only that, fifteen-year-old Zach also grew several inches in a short amount of time and just didn’t feel he was able to adjust to the changes in his rapidly growing body.
Zach’s a hard working athlete who came to me 16 weeks ago on the advice of his dad and personal tennis coach, David
Northey. David talked to me about Zach’s game deficiencies, and basically we’ve designed a sport’s specific program to prevent injury and strengthen those problem areas. Twice a week, Zach and I meet for strength and conditioning training. He says he’s now stronger, faster, and quicker. He’s also noticed he’s quicker to the ball, has a quicker first step, better coordination, a better lateral, and a stronger serve. Zach has won 16 straight tournaments, the last one just this week. Congratulations Zach!
