Broc McCauley Rookie Listed to Brisbane Lions
Overlooked in the 4 previous AFL Drafts…..you’d have to wonder if you were talented enough to get drafted…..
But that was not enough to stop him from pursuing his dream…..
The sharks best and fairest, selected in the AFLQ team of the year…
He simply played and performed that good the selectors could no longer ignore him…..
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…)
Congratulations to one of my colleagues and mates Dean Robinson the Strength and Conditioning Coach from the Geelong Footy Club.

Congratulations to Queenslands James Cook University Rugby Union who raised the most money! You will be receiving $10,000.00 worth of In Joe We Trust Strength and Conditioning Resources Package and a Live Coaching Day! See you soon!
In Joe We Trust High Performance Training Feature Review in Muscle Mag Australia
August 2009 Muscle Mag Reviews the Heart Breaker.
This is what Muscle Mag reviewer DR Shane Rogerson had to say about the Heart Breaker:
There is also something kind of primal about gritting your teeth and pushing a big chunk or metal across the ground!
This is one of the best pieces of equipment I have come across!
This is a hardcore piece of training equipment and can floor even the most seasoned athlete!
Buy Now supply is limited.
Congratulations to PIT Athlete and GC17 Captain Marc Lock who just signed a contract with GC17 AFL Club. You can see Locky in action on the In Joe We Trust Website video on the homepage.

Collingwood Star AFL player and former In Joe We Trust athlete Dayne Beams is in this months Alpha Magazine showcasing his Strength and Conditioning and Dietary Secrets. Collingwood Strength and Conditioning Coach Dave Buttifant has been impressed with Beams professionalism-He’s a willing worker, has a great attitude, the right work ethic, knows the right things to do and tries to do them all the time. You can never get enough young blokes with those characteristics. Beams says he’s been in trouble a couple of times for doing extra work and not telling, Buttifant! Enough Said!

All the best for former PIT and In Joe We Trust athlete Dayne ˜Beamsy’ Beams who plays his debut game against Richmond this Thursday night.
Coaches and parents have often commented on the fact athletes training at THE PIT are physically superior but also know how to use their physical abilities to their advantage. I had the opportunity to have the expertise of Brisbane Lions Tackling and Wrestling coach take PIT athletes through specialized tackling wrestling and body contact drills. The techniques worked that well, the following day one our athletes the attended the tackling clinic put another footballer in hospital. Our thoughts are with the footballer and his family.
I recently caught up with colleague and world renowned strength coach Charles Poliquin. Poliquin showcased some interesting and downright mind blowing instant strengthening and flexibility techniques that he has been utilizing with his athletes. I’ve begun experimentation with these new techniques and they have yielded instant and remarkable results and will be a key training tool in my arsenal. Keep an eye out for an article outlining these unique methods.
Congratulations to PIT Athlete Mark Lock who was named Inaugural Captain of the GC 17 AFL Team. Locky has been training in THE PIT for the last few years and holds numerous records-his Chin Ups for reps with an extra 70kgs at 15yrs of age defies logic. Great stuff!
As always, I’m experimenting with new equipment to make athletes under my guidance better. I came across a few ideas from Russia, Germany and the USA and have begun production of some ground breaking new pieces of training equipment that are a must have addition to any gymnasium that requires elite sports performance. Due to shipping costs it was not practical to import or purchase the heavy duty equipment. Thus, I have sourced a company willing and able to make the equipment that any high performance gymnasium requires. Sleds, Farmers Walk apparatus, Prowler or the Australian version known as the Heart Breaker, stealth Foam Rollers, Super Grippers for finger strength and Cyclone Device have been key pieces of equipment in the development of superior athletes. Go to the Products section to purchase now. There’ll be a video showcasing these phenomenal pieces of equipment in action and an article detailing the benefits of the equipment.
Congratulations to PIT athlete Dane Beams, he was the only Queenslander invited to attend the draft camp and was picked up by Collingwood with draft pick 37.
He deserves to be rewarded, he has a voracious work ethic, so much so, we actually had to hold him back. You can read what Beams has to say about training with In Joe We Trust in the testimonials section.
Sharon and Peter Hannan, are the hardest working coaches in Australian Track and Field.
Their combined 60+ yrs of Track and Field coaching work has finally been rewarded in Beijing, with their sprinter Sally McLellan becoming the first Australian to make an Olympic Sprint hurdles final since Glynis Nunn-Cearns in 1984.
The amount of time, effort, blood, sweat and tears they have put into their coaching is a lesson that is forever etched in my mind!
It is great to see passionate people with life long dreams being rewarded and serves as motivation for athletes and their coaches!
Sharon and Peter Hannon coached/guided me as an athlete to the National Track and Field titles many years ago, and remain great mentors and have been instrumental in developing my philosophies regarding sprinting speed and running technique development for my athletes training with In Joe We Trust.
Their Speed and Sprint Training techniques appear to be working!

Out of nowhere, Kenny Wallace claimed a Gold and Silver medal in the K1 at the Olympics and was also awarded the OAM on Australia Day.
He’s also been doing the PR circuit, his knock about laid back unaffected nature has made him a favorite on the footy show.
Ken was one of the first blokes I met at high school, his discipline and commitment was evident back then when he was training multiple times per day when he was in year 8.
His strength and conditioning coach from the Australian Institute of Sport, Glen Workman was one of my mentors when I first started out in the industry.
Its great to see them both achieve their goals of Gold in Beijing!
Former PIT athlete and now South Sydney Rabbitohs pin up boy Nat Barnes has been nominated for The ARL Rugby League Man of the Year!
Those that know him well, know how modest and humble he is¦.and the only way you’d be able to get him to do something like this is for charity. Support the McGrath foundation breast cancer charity appeal and Vote for him at wwww.godsoffootball.com.au
Congratulations to former Southport Sharks player Brent Renouf, he now has a premiership medallion to his names, and now has his name down in the history books.
Whilst I was coaching at the Sharks, Brent was instrumental in our 2 Grand Final wins!
Congratulations to Haydyn Stoeckel winning a Bronze Medal at The Olympics in the Mens 100m backstroke.
I had the pleasure of coaching Haydyn at The PIT in early 2007.
He is a great kid with a phenomenal work ethic and a great example of perseverance!
The exciting thing is he is only going to get Bigger, Faster and Stronger!
His parents, Chris and Carols’ unwavering belief and support for Haydyn, was most definitely a cornerstone was his success!
He still holds the PIT Gym Record for the Front Bridge (12 mins) under our Professional Athlete Category
The PIT Gym crew and In Joe We Trust salute you!
