15 months back Dillon walked through the doors of Nebobarbell a wide eyed deer in headlights that could not squat, bench or deadlift worth a damn. He had tons of bad habits, a negative attitude and was convinced at the time, I could not "fix" him....
15 months later....4 powerlifting meets under his belt, 3 wins, 1 second place finish, an increase of 308 pound from his first meet a year ago till this meet he just did, learning to listen, learning to be coached, putting in hours upon hours of hard work and fixing him is what we did. Now Dillon is a legit 22 year old powerlifter who is well on his way. His lifts continue to climb. his confidence is soaring and his love for the sport is growing each and everyday.
I am super proud of Dillon. His progress has been nothing short of amazing for such a short period of time. In one year he has already beat several folks that are considered veteran's at Team Nebobarbell. The best part about that is, that each of those veterans are cheering the young pup on! Now that's Team support! I proud of you Dilly! We are just getting started!
