1. Testimonial for DJ Jones,
I would like to take this opportunity to write about DJ Jones who was my mentor
during my time in California for my 400 hour internship. With his college and NFL
background, DJ expressed great knowledge in training clients as well as different
youth teams, improving their performances for that certain sportsuch as Socceror
Football. Besides from being a specialist at fitness, he was also able to connect
with clients by learning about their strengths & weaknesses, limits to each
exercise, and achieve the client’s personal goals. As far as the youth teams, DJ
demonstrated a friendly attitude that made the young athletes enjoy his training as
well as working hard.
Shadowing and assisting DJ greatly improved not only my ability to train clients,
but also my confidence and that attitude is everything no matter what field you are
in. He taught me a lot about his college and NFL days and the type of training they
did suchas speed & agility work, strength lifting, and a few fitness tests. One of
the major programs DJ and I developed was a speed & agility program for youth
athletes where our goal was to improve their performance and increase their
chances of playing college or even just playing for the high schoolvarsity team.
Working with DJ for 3 months made me gain the experience and knowledge I was
looking for in my internship. DJ’s great character and skills as a trainer gives me
great confidence to spread my knowledge for my future career in this field.
Sincerely,
SoroushPedram
