Josh Ross wins 6th Australian 100m title as an AAP athlete
Josh Ross blitzed the field to win the OZ 100m title last night. Josh has been training at Advanced Athletes Performance in Preston since September last year. 2 years ago my business partner, Piero Sacchetta, hatched a plan for Josh to become a wide receiver in the NFL.
They went to the US together and did trials. He wowed them with his athletic ability and was picking up the game rapidly. He had played Rugby League as a junior. Anyway the project didn’t proceed past 2010, but it was a great experience for Piero and Josh. Bit more time and he would definitely have got somewhere with American football.
Since September 2011, Josh has trained as an AAP athlete and Piero has been awesome at making sure everything stayed on track. In the last month Piero added masseur to his CV!
Josh’s first run was a 49 secs 400m in Interclub in October 2011.Come April 2012 and he has run 10.23 into a slight headwind. With a bit of luck with wind he would have had a definite A Qualifier for London.The great thing is that his amazing career is back on track and that he and Piero got a reward for al the effort they put in for 2 years since heading off to the US. It was great for Josh to chat to Adam basil 6 weeks ago. Adam was a bronze medallist in the Athens 4*100 team and is Melbourne Victorys fitness guru and he came to the centre a few weeks ago to add something to Josh’s build up.
And it was great to see such a talented athlete train daily right here at Advanced Athletes Performance. Definitely a great learning experience for me.
Well done Josh.
