DeMarcus is working a complex which enforces technique and strength. He is a Nationally Ranked US Weightlifting athlete.
Clean & Jerk and Snatch... These are very technical lifts. At Desert Ridge we pride ourselves in teaching fundamentals and technique.
Donjae Logan of Stanford Football came out last night for the first day of Desert Ridge Spring Ball. It was a great talk of working hard, dedication, motivation and passion for the game.
Thank you Donjae for coming out!
