Before working with Sachin and 5S Athletics, I was skeptical about strength training and the impact it would have on my overall game (basketball). One day, I decided to give it a try and he put me through a leg workout that consisted of box jumps, deadlifts and a couple of other lifts that we did throughout. It was so simple, but I still had my doubts how this would impact my performance. I continued to work with Sachin for the next two weeks. I was warming up at a basketball game and was grabbing rim with ease. The last time I had even touched rim before that was my Freshman year of high school. Sachin is one of the up and coming trainers in the Seattle area. His knowledge and passion for training athletes is what makes him one of the best in the industry. As I was preparing to play semi-pro basketball in the Philippines, Sachin got me into the best shape I have ever been and I couldn’t have done it without his precise training. Sachin and 5S Athletics have been a huge part of my success in the game of basketball.

Before I started training with Sachin, I was mainly gaining most of my strength and athletic ability from my school trainers. Unfortunately, after my sophomore year of collegiate basketball, I was forced to walk away because of sciatica issues. After a year of rehabilitation, I started to train with Sachin. Not only did he get me back to where I was before I had back issues, he turned me into a stronger and faster athlete. I was able to bench 1.5 times my bodyweight along with doubling my squat max. In addition, I had the highest standing vertical leap of 40” at the 2012 Hoopfest basketball tournament in Spokane, which was tied for second best of all time.
