| Jack Whitver, Owner urbandale@accelerationiowa.comJack grew up in Grinnell, Iowa, as a four-sport athlete–football, basketball, baseball, and track. In high school Jack was a captain of the state runner-up football team, a starter for the state-qualifying basketball team, and finished third in the state 110m high hurdles.
Following high school, Jack was a three-year starter as wide receiver for the Iowa State Cyclones. He finished his eligibility ranked in the top ten in two career statistical categories-#8 in all time receiving yards and #10 in all-time receptions. After just his first three seasons of eligibility, Jack graduated with a B.S. in Exercise Science. Jack went on to earn his Masters in Business Administration in December 2003, and was named a Verizon Academic All-American as well as first team All Big 12 Academic team twice. While at Iowa State, he helped his teams to three bowl games, the Eddie Robinson Classic, and the highest AP ranking ever in school history. “I feel very strongly that without training on the Frappier Acceleration program, I would not have had the athletic success I did. I went from an above average high school football player, to making the team at Iowa State, earning a scholarship, and becoming a three-year starter. I truly believe this would not have been possible without the training program.” |
| Geoff Jensen, Owner urbandale@accelerationiowa.comGeoff grew up in Grinnell, Iowa, participating and setting records in football, swimming, and track & field. While attending Truman State (MO) University, Geoff was a member of the football team and ran track for one season. He finished his career ranked fifth all-time in receptions (122), receiving yards (1,954) and touchdowns (19).
Upon Graduating with a B.S. in Exercise Science (Pre-Med) in December 2002, Geoff moved to Des Moines to pursue his passion for fitness as a personal trainer. He has worked with people of all ages and ability levels, and received his ACE Personal Trainer Certification in March 2004. “As a high school athlete, I enjoyed pushing myself in the weight room. However, once I found out about the Frappier Acceleration program, I realized that I was missing vital training components: speed and explosiveness. The Acceleration program helped to improve my athletic ability, which was a great complement to the strength gains I made in the weight room. The pre and post test results are clear indicators of how the FAST program will improve overall athleticism.” |
