My name is Leah Bosello and I am the Department Head of Physical Health and Education at Cariboo Hill Secondary School. Steven Chaisson is the strength and conditioning coach for our REP Volleyball Academy and is an instrumental part to the success and health of our athletes. Steven is a great asset to the program with his expertise in the strength and conditioning field, paired with his ability to connect with young athletes. Steven is a true professional and a pleasure to work with.

All I really have to say is that there is a great variety of exercises so therefore I don’t get bored, the amount of reps and sets you recommended are great in my opinion because they get me close to reaching failure. I also want to add that the exercises you give us at the academy have improved my speed, explosiveness and vertical. Lastly, all the great lessons and tips you provide for injury prevention or recovering from an injury have helped me a lot.

The training that I’ve had has really helped me improve my volleyball skills and overall health. I have seen a big difference. Steve definitely knows what he’s doing.

Since starting weight training with Steve I have come a great distance in the weight room. I have not only learned about what workouts I should be doing, but how to do them; Steve has helped me and others in my course perfect our forms and routines and because of it I think it is safe to say we have improved drastically. After only a few months I am lifting heavier and jumping higher than ever and can see improvements not only in the weight room but on the court too.
