PROFESSIONAL ATHLETE TESTIMONIALS

“When athletes talk about trainers I think it says everything about what kind of support system you have when you consider them a close friend first and foremost and the training and guidance to be the bonus, with Glenn it goes back over a decade of friendship and mentorship along with hours of countless work and teachings. The work has never changed but only evolved over the years and as athletes we must adapt to our craft to be successful and Glenn has done so as well, finding new ways to make himself successful first and in doing so making me a much better athlete. The greatest thing I can say Glenn gave to me at a young age was an understanding of how important the mental side to my sport is for me. The physical aspect I knew he would constantly develop for me but I think for both of us we knew the mental side was a very important thing that was never instilled into me and what he did was constantly talk to me even when I had nothing to say back he kept feeding me information or giving me resources and other athletes to train with like Dale Weise who would show me the way and prove to me that this man knew what he was talking about and only further proved that I could trust this man with my evolution.”

“Working with Glenn Bruce over the last few years has been nothing short of exceptional. Glenn took me from a determined college kid with a dream to a focused professional with expanding goals. Glenn breaks down speed and other athletic skills to level that can be understood and built on. Glenn knows what it takes to be great and won’t work with anyone who doesn’t want that for themselves. Glenn has a selfless approach as he relishes in his athletes journeys always standing in their corner and preparing them best for competition. Any athlete who is looking for a coach to bring the best out of them should look no further than Glenn. Be ready to work and be ready to win.”

“For Glenn the beauty of movement is both a science and an art. I'm sure he would agree with the great philosopher Socrates who said, "It's a shame for a man to grow old without seeing the beauty and strength of which his body is capable." Glenn is a philosophical coach who, like Socrates, understands the importance of training both the body and mind. Glenn opens a conversation with his athletes that lets him understand their development while showing them how to better understand their own needs and work collaboratively toward improvement. Glenn is the best coach I've ever had, a role model, and the reason I became a coach myself. Sport, approached properly, is more than physical activity. It's training in the virtues and skills of honest self-reflection, careful planning and hard work. After a long career in sport I am proud to say that Glenn not only prepared my body for an athletic scholarship and the opportunities that presented, but also trained my mind to take advantage of them. As an athlete and a father I can think of no better person to intrust with developing the skills that open the door to success in both sport and life.”

“Working with Glenn Bruce has really helped me understand the science behind the mechanics of movement and how/why the body reacts in different situations. I initially came to Glenn having to do rehab for a torn patella tendon. Over the course of the next 6 years working together our relationship has evolved from a coach-player relationship to a friendship. He truly knows how to get the best out of athletes in their own individual ways. I’ve always thought I was capable enough of being in charge of my speed and conditioning, until I actually had a speed coach. While working with Glenn I was undoubtedly the fastest, sharpest, and most efficient in my movements, more than I  have ever been throughout my 9 year CFL career. Our workouts were not just typical workouts on the track. He has a variety of training methods be in on land, or in the water to get optimal results out of his athletes. Great training. Great guy!”

“After starting with Coach Bruce I instantly noticed the change in my balance and stability! Not only did I become better balanced but I was more explosive in all of my movements! He challenges and pushes me every session to be comfortable in uncomfortable positions. I am going to be 31 years old and with the off ice help from him I feel like I am only getting faster and my best days are ahead of me!”
