 Today's video, we're going to kind of take things back. We are officially 10 years old as of September. It's our 10th anniversary and our first super crew included Rocky Fenton, Matt Katnick, Matt Katnick at the time, 72 feet a senior year, Dottun Obendage, he had grown 65-5 and 194. Nick Banzio was the 2013 California State Champion and Kelsey Benoit grown 62-6 and 185. One of the things most people don't realize is that we started in a really dinky 800 square foot gym, but the perk of it was it was right on Pacifico's highway and you looked out the window and you could see the beach and the ocean. It was great. To maximize the space we had this parking garage below so you could see it's a small gym so when it was packed and we would have 10, 12, 15 athletes in there it was pretty jammed. But we also had a dirt lot next door was one of the things we always talk about. It's not about all the best facilities, it's about the information in the program and I think this kind of talks about the early times of what we were able to accomplish. We hit some of the local schools, throwing facilities at high schools in Southern California. Nick was one of these guys who would drive almost an hour and a half, one direction to come train. Had this parking garage below. This was the exit of the parking garage is where we used to get a lot of work done so we would throw into the wall. You can see all the marks on the wall. We knew what we were doing. We were working on our pillars. At this time it was the very early stages of the Trenchy Interaction System. That was it. Better, better, everybody can see it's better. That's it. And so it was just rep after rep after rep and there's a great thing to see you know just anybody as long as you can get a hold of a wall, the amount of work you can get done and I think why you know what made this group special is that of the five guys four of them were state champions. So Rocky Fenton was you know 158-8 in the shot, very respectable, 185 in the disc. So the California disc is championed 2014. Dottun would come down fairly regularly and it's real important to note that Dottun's primary coach, the guy who really deserves a ton of credit as well is Jorge Reyes who was the school coach and had really gotten Dottun up to a really great point and Dottun had come to us in his junior year and he had three consecutive PR. Dottun's coach came down, we coached him up, coach went back, applied the things. Dottun PR, they came back again, he PR again, came back again, PR again. Okay good opener. Load the left and drive, let's go. Push. There you go. Rocky had lived close, Kelsey lived close, they were teammates, really good friends, went to San Clemente High School and they lived just a couple miles away so they were there with their four or five days a week. Katnick lived up in Los Angeles and so he would drive down and we started working with him and I worked very closely with his coach, his coaches out here in the sector and he would come to a lot of the trainings and really study the throwing chain reaction system and apply it with the rest of the throwers at their school. A little better. See that was actually much better. Rocky had worked with since he came in with about 120 foot PR and the next year he had thrown 180 and then by his senior year you know he was consistently in the 170s and the last five weeks of the years we got everything back and he kept PR'ing every week and he wound up winning the state title. There we go. Brace here going on, Collins, Doris Robinson, that's Patty. Kelsey Benoit, you know, this guy is probably one of the most talented athletes I've ever coached. His mom was a nutritionist so he'd eat fantastically and the kid was just like really talented at the state meet unfortunately had a little bit of an off day but he had already thrown well committed and all these guys were heavily recruited in scholarship athletes so it was it was a really fun group to train after these guys kind of battled it out you know they went on and it was Dottun, Matt Katnick and Nick Ponziu all trained together up in Oregon and we went to junior nationals. There we go. Rucky Stenton. Woo! You drove 64-4 Matt Katnick. All right Katnick. Now off on your state track champion. Manning for Madison with a goal of 65-5 and a half. Dottun Okodeji. Dottun, all right. Nick had just barely missed the final I think by a quarter of an inch he was a little tight it was his first big competition in a while. Testaments to the athletes these guys were exceptionally talented. These guys the one common thread was all that they all worked hard. Nick and Dottun are basically competing at the pro level. Matt's got one more year of Dottun Okodeji coming back and how much fun it was and you just look back kind of we come back humbly from humble beginnings and the importance is kind of putting this video together is just kind of reflect on some of the successes we've had you know show you guys somewhere where we came from and one of our first group of superstars and then we had a whole lot more we're going to be talking a lot more about in the coming weeks and months and kind of as we celebrate our 10 years of erite throws nation.
