When I missed out on the QLD State under 18 AFL team I was shattered. I thought I had lost my chance at playing professional AFL and my career was slipping away.

Seeking the knowledge of Joey Hayes ensured I became The Biggest, Fastest and Strongest and mentally toughest athlete I could be.

For the second year in a row THE PIT produces another Drafted AFL Footballer….

From out of nowhere PIT Athlete, Bryce Retzlaff has been one of only two Queensland AFL footballers to be drafted.

He was picked up by the Brisbane Lions at pick number 84 in the 2009 draft.

His selection stunned most people, but really shouldn’t have.

Collingwood player Dayne Beams, told Bryce about THE PIT and said if you’re serious about your football and you want to be the best you can be, see Joey.

In my time working with Bryce his work ethic, willingness to push through pain and commitment to achieve his goals could never be questioned. (more…)
