Coach Brandon’s Take:
“From day one, Luis has had a lot of bodyweight strength and natural athletic ability. Despite that advantage, he’s still been one of the hardest workers in the gym every day, every week and every month. Luis has made tremendous gains in his lifts and continues to develop in other skilled movements. He’s improved so much over the last 10 months that it’s exciting to see how much he’ll improve this year.”
