 I have been the head football coach at Cactus High School for the past 22 years. Cactus High

School has won conference, divisional, and region titles, yet the state Championship trophy had eluded us. The last two seasons Cactus High School went 12-2 and lost in the State Championship. I felt we were close, but we needed that edge to get us over the top. We began using the Optum SPS resistance units two days a week beginning in January. The Optum SPS made it possible to get us over the hump. We won the Arizona 4A STATE CHAMPIONSHIP in

' 2005 '. We were 14-0 scored 554 points and allowed only 79. The differance - QUICKNESS! Our ability to get to places on offense and defense enabled us to hoist the trophy in December.

I would like to thank SPS Distribution for introducing the Optum SPS resistance tool to us and wish you the best. The Optum SPS is truly a revolutionary training tool that every sports program must have.

The Optum SPS has been a great addition to all of our programs. The ability to train individuals, small groups, and large teams makes it invaluable. It has become a mainstay in our resistance speed training modules and it's versatility has enabled us to design athletic protocols for all sports.

We have just finished training a group of Professional hockey players and the Optum SPS was utilized as a focus for power bounding, striders. sprint outs, hip crossovers, and tows that each player stated was a tremendous benefit to their skating power and speed!

 "The Optum SPS is the most valuable piece of equipment  for improving speed, strength and power that is available right now."

Coach Mark Phillipi

Director of  Strength and Conditioning

Level Division 1

   

"For years the top strength and conditioning coaches have been in search of an effective yet safe means to incorporate resistive training into their team's running programs. Personally I think I have tried them all; from parachutes to plate loaded sleds, but nothing has been as easy to use that also adapts quickly to all running capabilities and strength levels.

The Optum SPS has provided us a means to train the entire team quickly and effectively.

With the Optum SPS we no longer have to cart around hundreds of pounds of weight plates or worry about the snagging or entanglement of the rope. When used correctly The Optum SPS allows a coach to switch out users and adjust the resistance in literally seconds.

Thanks for your support and the quality of service you have shown the Titans in getting the Optum SPS units to us so we can begin our resistance running program. I am anxious to see the entire team utilizing all 10 units at the same time."

“I wish to thank and commend you on your new rehabilitation product, the Optum S.P.S. We have used the device with both our surgical and non-surgical patients and have found your product superior in comparison to the other rehabilitative devices we were using. The variable resistance and constant tension allows for an unlimited number of functional exercises. We are now incorporating the Optum S.P.S. into our off-season conditioning program for all of our players. Thank you again for introducing the Optum S.P.S. to us and we wish you much success in the future”.

"Thank you for introducing the Optum S.P.S ....... it will be a useful tool to help build strength and speed. We are looking forward to adding it to our training regimen in the off-season."

"I would like to congratulate you on your new Optum S.P.S. product. I have been a strength and conditioning coach for over 20 years and have tried a variety of different products that enhance speed and power. The feature I find interesting is the ability to load and unload with a constant, smooth resistance. In addition to the speed and power development, I use this device to teach sports specific movements. In the NBA the ability to cover ground in the first two steps is critical. Using the Optum S.P.S and applying the two step concept in my training programs, I have been pleasantly surprised how quickly our athletes have improved their ability to push off. Thank you again for this product and I wish you continued success."

"When I tried Optum S.P.S. I was sold by the machine s ability to change and set resistance, yet still be a very smooth run for the athlete. In my opinion the Optum S.P.S. unit is much more effective for performing drills that require resistance versus cords or bands that are not set and can snap. The unit is portable making it possible for my athletes to build their strength on a daily basis. I have seen and used products that are similar, however, they were not as effective and would simply break after several sessions. I have yet to find a product on the market that compares to the Optum S.P.S.. I have over 20,000 reps utilizing my first unit and have just purchased 5 more. The Optum S.P.S. has complimented my workouts and I have witnessed success in 30-40% of my daily sessions. I have several athletes that have dropped as much as 5 tenths in the 40 using the unit."

"I have had the opportunity to supervise athletes training on the Optum S.P.S. in both a rehabilative and sports performance setting. I believe that the smooth and constant resistance is important in training athletes and preventing injuries. The Optum S.P.S. helps our athletes to become bigger, faster, stronger."
