 St. John’s College Dynamic Duo @morganstew_24 WCAC & DCSAA Player of the Year | Florida State Commit @nesmith_camille 1st-Team All WCAC/DCSAA | Southern Methodist University Commit

This spring, I had the privilege of working with Morgan, who came off her final season at SJC as the WCAC Player of the Year. Although I only got to spend the last few months working with her, it felt as if we had been working together her entire high school career. One of the hardest working athletes that I have had the privilege of working with, Morgan just simply put in the work time in and time out. From being disciplined with nutrition, to hitting her cardio, to extra skills workouts, to training with me 3+ times a week, there is a reason she is one of the top recruits in the Class of 2026. Even moreso, Morgan is one of the most genuine & kind athletes I get to call part of the TPA Family. Florida St easily got one of the best guards in the nation.

Now last but not least, I have had the privilege of coaching Camille at River Hill her sophomore year & training her in the gym for the past 3 years. The first day I met Camille, she came into Chiseled with some of her soccer friends that I worked with at River Hill. From first look, I knew in a matter of a few years, Camille would be on every recruiter’s radar across the nation. From a Final 4 appearance in 3A States together in 2024 to watching her make the transition to one of the best conferences in the nation at SJC & becoming one of the top players there, it was a privilege to get all the time I have with her over these years. Just like Morgan, Camille is one of the sweetest athletes I’ve ever worked with; too sweet, in fact, as one of my missions was to found out what made her angry lol…mission is still ongoing. Thank you for always trusting me & staying loyal to the process regardless of where you played.  
Thank you both for making our training sessions enjoyable, for trusting me with preparing you for college & having the privilege to be your trainer❤️🐠

19 Letters. 1 Word. 1 Diagnosis.

This is me. This is MY STORY.

Thank you to my family, my friends & loved ones who always gave me that extra push & made me feel comfortable in my own skin. Thank you to those that never looked at me differently because of who I am. Because of y’all, I felt comfortable sharing my story, no matter how scared or insecure it has made me feel during my life. And because of y’all, I made it through some of the darkest & lowest points in my life. I’m here, live & well, to share my story and I owe it to you all. ❤️

Thank you to @therileyclayton for absolutely killing this project. You nailed everything from the music to the vision I imagined in my own head. Left me in tears when I watched the final product 🙏

Thank you to @drmikeflores_amp @plummerdpt @j_chiseled & @unbound.muscle.therapy for your assistance & encouragement over the years, & taking care of my body and my mind. The time spent on your PT tables comes second to none. Y’all are a big reason I am standing today.

I will never let a condition or a disease or a diagnosis hold me back from accomplishing everything I want in this lifetime. And I hope to inspire you to be more accepting of & kind to others (they’re going through battles you know nothing about) & to go on and share your own story no matter how scared you may be to put yourself out there.🙏

19 letters. 1 word. 1 diagnosis that changed my life forever.

Osteochondromatosis.

A rare condition I was born with. For a long time, it was simply something I had to live with. It shaped my body, challenged my mindset, and influenced the way I viewed physical limitations.

Something I was scared to open up about after being made fun of growing up. But it has played a huge role in shaping the person I am today.

It changed the way I approach training.
It changed the way I define strength.
And most importantly, it changed the way I coach.

Because when you’ve experienced physical challenges yourself, you understand that every athlete who walks through your door has their own story, their own obstacles, and their own potential.

Not every athlete moves the same.
Not every athlete develops the same.
And not every athlete needs the same approach.

My job is to recognize that, meet each athlete where they are, and help them become the strongest version of themselves — physically and mentally.

My condition is part of my story, but it doesn’t define the limits of what I can accomplish or what I can help others accomplish.

This is just one piece of my story. And I’m ready to share more.

Swipe through to learn more about the condition that helped shape the person & the coach I am today. 💙

Most athletes only start injury prevention training once they’re already hurt. At that point you’re not preventing anything. You’re fixing a problem that could have been avoided.

If you’re a young athlete chasing a college scholarship or a professional career, you’ve probably watched a teammate or a rival lose a big season, or their whole career, to an injury. That’s why professional athletes invest serious money & time every year in injury prevention, mobility and recovery. Although there are many free and affordable ways to do so, most young athletes do none of it.

I’m Ryan, a Strength & Performance Coach based in Columbia, Maryland. After 4 surgeries in 13 years as an athlete, I built my training around one idea: the best athlete is the one who’s available. Now I help athletes stay healthy, move and feel better & perform when it counts.

Follow me for more on injury prevention, athletic performance and strength training for young athletes.

🏀 BASKETBALL TRYOUTS ARE COMING UP! 🏀

The season will be here before you know it.

If you want to make an impact, the time to prepare is NOW.

Over the past few years, we’ve worked with multiple Howard County Players of the Year, a WCAC Player of the Year, McDonald’s All-American honorees, 14 1st-Team All-County selections, 6 1st-Team All-State selections, 4 All-Metro selections, & 10+ collegiate commitments.

Our basketball performance training is designed to help athletes:

🔸 Increase explosiveness & verticality
🔸 Improve single-leg stability + foot, ankle & knee strength
🔸 Develop balance & body control in basketball-specific movements
🔸 Improve lateral quickness & change-of-direction ability
🔸 Build strength, muscle & overall physicality

The goal? Walk into tryouts stronger, more explosive, more athletic, and better prepared to compete.

⏳ You have a limited window before tryouts. Use it.

📲 DM us or COMMENT “BASKETBALL” to get started and get your winter preparation underway.

Champions are made in the off-season.

The BEST bench press variation for athletes? 👀

This is one of my favorite go-to pressing variations with my athletes: what I call the Edge Bench Press.

Why?

Because it teaches you to actually use your entire body to produce force.

With the shoulder blades connected to the edge of the bench, your lower back and lower body have to maintain the position — essentially becoming the rest of the bench.

That means your hips, glutes, core, and posterior chain have to contribute instead of simply relying on the bench to stabilize you.

🔥 More full-body involvement
🔥 Better force transfer from the ground up
🔥 Greater posterior chain engagement
🔥 Less reliance on momentum, bouncing, or “bumping” the weight
🔥 A more athletic approach to pressing

And the variations are endless.

You can perform it single-arm, single-leg, or bilateral, while adding bands or med balls in different positions to challenge the glutes, core, adductors, and hip flexors in different ways.

The goal isn’t just to get stronger at the bench press.

It’s to learn how to create and transfer force through your entire body.

That’s what makes this such a valuable tool for athletes. 💪🏽🏀⚾️🏈

Train the press. Train the body. Build the athlete.

Save this one and give it a try in your next session. 👊🏽
