"The clinic Ryan attended this year was nothing short of remarkable. He has always worked very hard in athletics but I have never seen him so enthusiastic and dedicated as he was to the Fusion Football Clinic. He is a better person and athlete because of it. I know his dedication was in part a result of his success but more than that it was the way in which both of you (Chris & Bob) displayed your passion for the game and the growth of your athletes. Chris, having spent a little time with you on the field shagging balls; I must say that you are one of the most inspirational people I have ever been around. You convey that inspiration on the field. I’ve read several articles on the internet pertaining to personal trainers and coaches. The consensus is that for the most part they are a waste of time and money, and if your kid wants to improve he can do it on his own if he has the desire. After spending the last six months with Ryan and the two of you I could not disagree more. Your approach to training, expectations, desire, knowledge and passion is worth its weight in gold."

"As a mom I have to thank you for the little time Todd was able to spend with you. From that very first Sunday he met up with the group he would come home and tell us how much he was learning. It was fun to see his eyes light up when he would talk about the clinic. If we would have known about Fusion earlier he definitely would have been coming. Todd was always most impressed with the fact that if right in the middle of a play, he did not understand something, you (Chris) would stop the play and break it down until Todd got it. It's that kind of one on one teaching that we all found to be most beneficial not just for our son, but all the players."

Mother of Alabama A & M Tight End Todd Leichtfuss
"We cannot express enough the level of changes that we have witnessed in Danny since the beginning of Fusion in late January of this year. Danny was a good receiver coming into Fusion but is now at an entirely different level. He now goes up to the line on every play knowing that if the QB decides to come his way he will be open, no doubt. Beyond the physical attributes that an athlete must have he must also have a handle on the mental part of the game. Fusion constantly builds character, confidence, and maturity in their athletes. Chris and Bob never stop teaching. Whether giving instruction on the field or giving guidance in their talks with the athletes they are always teaching, making an impact and creating a positive environment for the athletes.
In all, Fusion has given Danny the skill set and confidence to go into his senior season and dominate opponents. Given the opportunities, Fusion has put him in charge of how successful he will be this season.
Danny fully expects to continue with fusion next year in preparation for the next level. We cannot thank Chris and Bob enough for what they have done and how they do it. Please keep it up."
-Dean & Mary Jo Diefenthaler
Parents of Newbury Park High School Wide Receiver, Danny Diefanthaler
2007-- 30 catches, 4 TDs
2nd team all-league
"Thank you for the wonderful opportunity you have provided for Patrick and for all of the wonderful young boys. It was beyond our wildest dreams for Patrick to attend such a program...we still cannot believe our Good Luck! In hearing that he was going to play WR again, he was a little apprehensive, not having played it last year. When I heard about your clinic, I was so excited. Well, words cannot describe how great the entire experience has been for the whole family. A quick note about the Clinic's environment: When Patrick came into the Clinic at Ventura College, parents and athletes, recognizing he was new to the group, took time to introduce themselves to us and at the end of the day, even came up to Patrick to tell him how well he was doing...What a wonderful way to start and we are here to spread the Fusion word."
-Patrick, Joel, Shirley, Eddie & Aurora
Family of Agoura wide receiver Patrick Rohn
2007-- 22 catches, 6 TD, 20.5 yard per catch average
"As a family, we have found Fusion with Chris and Bob's vision to be uniquely perceptive to the mechanics needed as well as the character "infusion" that reinforces confidence, hope, trust, and ability in each athlete's path to a dream. Watching for two years so many athletes with individual goals be mentored and given so many finesse skills has been fantastic! Each year, these two professionals quiet yet intense personal discipline, dedication, and "demonstration ability" transcends into my lucky son's and others body and soul. Chris has always seemed to realistically convey where we are in the maturing process yet honestly convey the need for a thick skin and keen need to understand how to have the most balanced sense of competition. Doing community service at the Shriner's Game two years ago, we feel incredibly blessed that we were "at the right place for a very unexpected gift"....the Fusion Football program! Thanks so much and we hope to train and study throughout Brett's high school career! Each session is just that...a gift!"

Parents of Chaminade freshman wide receiver Brett Medders

2006
"I'm an athlete that has some talent, but I know that's not enough to get me by at the next level. The Fusion Clinic is a very challenging clinic that enables you to develop more skills, condition yourself at a very high level, and to compete against very good athletes. But, most importantly, you learn techniques that will separate you from your competitors. It's been a very tough road making my dream come true. Thanks Chris and Bob who have made this opportunity come true."

"First of all, special thanks to you and bob for dedicating your time and effort to establish such a great clinic for youth and high school athletes in Ventura County . The well educated teachings have helped my son Josh learn that it helps being athletic, however, being a student of the game and absolute hard worker in practicing great techniques is what really separates an average player, from a great player. This clinic illustrates what it takes to get to the next level."
Carl Harrison
Father of Rio Mesa star wide receiver Josh Harrison
"First of all, from the bottom of my heart.thank you. It goes a little deeper than just thank you, but the main reason is your incredible knowledge in your positions and your ability to translate it to young men. This in itself is quite a feat. Your character provided the boys with wonderful role models as every clinic was positive, supportive and rewarding! We are looking forward to next years' clinic."
Pam Rodriquez
Mother of Nordhoff High players Aaron and Drew Rodriquez
"The clinic was a very positive environment. It was more special than I anticipated because both coaches are extremely positive and all the players are hard workers. The clinic has really shown me that I can do more than I thought I could. The clinic has helped me create a more positive attitude towards what I can achieve in life and I am so far ahead of my competition, it's not even funny!"

"Everything about my game has changed. My speed, acceleration, breaking down. I know that I can get pass any good db and accomplish whatever I push myself to do. Before the clinic I used to stray off in practice and now I step up and take a role on my team. I feel like my competition can't touch me!"

"I consider myself lucky to have had the opportunity to train with two men of such high caliber regarding the game of football. Any athlete who attends your camp has so much to gain. They will grow in more ways other than just football. You have taught me many solutions to better my game such as: explosiveness, quickness, awareness, speed, catching techniques, more speed, and getting open. You have also taught me the value of having character on the field and being a team player. Not only do I consider you my trainer, I consider you my friend”

"The work you guys have done with Landon over the last two years has been remarkable. We started with a kid who didn't know what the line of scrimmage was, but with you help we have progressed to a young man with self confidence and goals in life. You have been valuable factors in not only his athletic growth, but in his personal and emotional growth. We are sincerely grateful for all you have done."
Russ and Dawn Nelson
Parents to Oaks Christian wide receiver/defensive end
Landon Westrom
"I have been amazed with what you have taught Robby. I have always been impressed with him, but I have seen such an improvement physically and psychologically with him. He is so aware now that commitment pays off. It warms my heart that you care enough about my son to share your time and knowledge with him. He has grown so much as a player..but even more importantly as a person. Your clinic was worth every penny and I wish I would have known about it sooner!"
Jennifer Speakman, Mother of Robby Leith
"How much the clinic has meant to me..well, it was very tough doing the agility and cone work, but it teaches us to be more mentally tough which is a huge part of football. I really think it makes you feel unstoppable and that whoever you line up across from has no chance. It made me a more complete player, physically and mentally, and I think it gives me that extra edge of confidence that none of the other players have. I really appreciate you allowing me the opportunity to come out and hone my skills to the next level."
Brandon Smith, Ventura High Receiver/Running Back

"Everyone that participated in this clinic got exponentially better thanks to your and Bob's knowledge of football. I know I will be that much better than the competition and will be that much closer to making it to the next level. It takes quality people to create an environment where that much hard work was so much fun, and I would like to thank you and Bob for that. I can not find words to express my full gratitude to you and Bob, but I would like you to know that all the morals and values as well as the techniques we learned over the last few months will stay with me forever."
Brian Frank, Ventura High School Tight End
