“The trainers know what they're doing here. Like, they know how to target what you need to improve,” Rhee said.
From day one, GSP Manager Sean Leahy knew Nathan was dedicated to getting better.
“He’s so naturally gifted that I automatically saw the potential in him, but we vibed almost immediately during his initial assessment. I understood his mindset of wanting to get better and advancing his running career for his final high school season,” Leahy said. “I needed to help make him faster and the only way to do that is to increase his power and force while running – to do that Nathan needed to get stronger. Through a series of strength building exercises like squat, lunge and deadlift variations, he is making great strides and adding muscle.”
The two of them have really clicked over the past three months.
“I get pumped when he comes in for his sessions because I know his mind is set on getting to work no matter what he has going on. I can joke and laugh with him without there being a distraction,” Leahy said.
“Beyond track, I want Nathan to develop a continuous work ethic that will help him outside of sports and fitness. He’s a terrific individual, so I want to see his growth here help him in college and his future.” -GSP Manager Sean Leahy.
“(Sean) is my homey. I like talking to him so it's a good time,” Rhee said.
Together they have set a goal for Rhee to reach state championships this year. To get there Leahy shows his passion and stresses the importance of balance to the young athlete.
“I get to train with my friends. It pushes me to work harder when I'm with them. (I’ve seen) more stamina, more speed, and more endurance.” -Nathan Rhee
“Sean, he actually cares. You can tell he actually cares about what we're doing. He makes sure you are doing stuff on your own too, sleep well or eat well. You can tell he actually wants us to achieve our goals, so that's special,” Rhee said.
“We are really starting to hone things in, as I’m seeing him beginning to reach new heights,” said Leahy. “I know he’s going to really pick it up in these coming months leading into the season starting in March and continuing to work, get faster and get stronger.”
