Zach Putnam

University of Michigan Baseball

The FAST Program was very fortunate to have the opportunity to train Zach Putnam throughout his entire high school career.  For the past six years, Zach would take  breaks from the cold weather in Michigan and make the trip down to Boca Raton during his winter breaks, spring breaks, and for a couple of weeks in the summer to come and train.  Over the years we have made great strides with Zach, making sure  that he maintains his speed and explosiveness as he grew into his 6’ 2” 210 lb. frame. 

Zach led Pioneer High School (Ann Arbor, MI) to the 2004 state championship with a 9-0 record. During that season he had an astonishing ERA of 0.53 allowing only 9 hits. At the plate, Zach had a .466 batting average, 55 hits, 16 homeruns and 67 RBI’s, which demonstrates his power.  He also showed his speed with 6 triples and stealing 25 bases.  All of these accomplishments led to him being named 2005 Baseball America 1^st Team High School Preseason All-America. 

At Michigan, he is projected as the Big Ten Freshman of the Year in Baseball America's 2006 Big Ten baseball preview, considered the top newcomer in the conference, and was rated as having best fastball in Big Ten in 'best tools' portion of Baseball America preview.  In June, 2005 he was selected by the Detroit Tigers 2005 Major League First Year Player Draft.

David Adams

University of Virginia Baseball

David Adams started training at Cris Carter’s Fast Program 2 summers ago.  David, a Boca Raton native, has led Grandview Prep in almost every major hitting category.  Last year he had a .464 batting average, 26 hits, 11 doubles, 3 triples, 2 home runs, 25 RBI’s, and 17 stolen bases.  All of this while still maintaining a 4.0 GPA.   David is nationally recognized by Baseball America as “polished hitter with a balanced swing and good leverage.”   At the FAST Program, we helped him improve his speed, agility, power, and even bat speed.  David was a big fan of our hitting cords and would not miss a chance to strap them on and get his swings in at the end of every session.  All of his hard work paid off, earning him 2005 Baseball America 1^st Team High School Preseason All-America. 

David trained with us this summer to prepare himself for his first year at the University of Virginia.  We wish him the best of luck in his first season for the Cavaliers.  

Mike Doss
Indianapolis Colts
Defensive Back

Mike trained with FAST for his preseason workouts before the 2004 season. During his career, Mike has 169 solo tackles and 5 interceptions, pairing with teammate Bob Sanders to make one of the more dominating safety tandems in the NFL. A four year starter at Ohio State, Mike achieved All-American status in each of his final 3 years.  As a senior, Mike led Ohio State to a national championship in the 2002 Fiesta Bowl, earning Fiesta Bowl MVP honors.

While at FAST, Mike improved his first step explosion, speed, agility, and overall conditioning. Mike also participated in the functional workouts with other professional and collegiate athletes that train with FAST.  With the help he received from FAST, Mike has transformed himself into a dominant player in the NFL.

Dan Morgan

Carolina Panthers

MLB

Dan Morgan trained at FAST his senior year at JP Taravella High School in Coral Springs prior to attending the University of Miami. He returned to FAST in 2004 in order to improve his speed and agility.

Dan was selected by Carolina with the 11th overall pick in the 2001 NFL draft after posting one of the most impressive senior years in University of Miami football history. A three year captain he culminated his college career by becoming the first player ever to win all three of the college football’s defensive awards available to linebackers; the Butkis, Bednarik and Nagurski. He has carried his success and domination over into the NFL becoming an integral part of the 2003 NFC Champion Panthers.

Dan knows that his training at FAST has helped him excel in the NFL. We congratulate Dan on his outstanding season and wish him the best of luck in the future.

Vince Spadea

Originally from Chicago, Vince Spadea, now a resident of Boca Raton, has been training with FAST since the summer of 2003. Vince trained at FAST in an effort to improve his speed and agility and keeps making strides in the professional tennis ranks. His highest ranking came in February of 2005 when he was ranked #18 in the world.  He was also a part of the 2004 USA Men’s Tennis Olympic Team.
