Walsh Jesuit Women's Basketball in Action

Hello Everyone,

AGSP trains many of the Walsh Jesuit Women's Basketball players in the off-season and this year is working with the whole squad once a week to improve their speed, agility, and overall athletic performance throughout the season.

I had the opportunity to see the girls win on Saturday and while I was there I caught some great speed and agility shots of the girls (AGSP athletes will clearly see the acceleration mechanics).

It is always fun to see the skills practiced at AGSP in action!


Check out some videos!




Keep Training!
(I know the Walsh Jesuit Women's Basketball Team is!)
