“I’m a step ahead in the next phase of my athletics because of O.B.” – Emily Acquavivia, New Hartford High School, Division I Softball – Stony Brook University

When 17-year-old Emily Acquaviva of New Hartford learned she’d be playing softball for Division 1 college team Stony Brook University, she knew she needed to build a foundation of strength to compete at the college level.

A teammate recommended Christina D’Amico and Ryan Obernesser at O.B. Training & Sports Performance.

Emily began working with Christina and Ryan who customized a program for her to build her strength and muscle mass.

“They’ve made me strong, which is something I didn’t used to be,” said Emily, who added she now is hang cleaning 100 pounds, squatting 140 pounds and is more than halfway to her goal of gaining 10 pounds of muscle.

Expertise + Encouragement = Success

She credits the expertise and consistent encouragement of O.B.’s coaches with giving her the tools she needs to succeed.

“I’m a step ahead in the next phase of my athletics because of O.B.,” Emily said. “They’ve given me the techniques, the motivation and the ability to succeed in a short period of time.”
