Zee Speed Youth Endurance Camp

Dear Zee Speed Staff, Trainers, and Donors:

Zee Speed changes lives.

Over the past six years of participating in Zee Speed; the early workout, drill sergeant trainers, 
and Albert’s crazy push up routines, changed and inspired me as a young woman.

I have had the opportunity to spend most of my teenage summers at Zee Speed and I have 
grown not only physically but mentally as well. This training camp not only creates better 
athletes but better people. I have become more goal orientated and I continually create high 
goals for myself. I am focused and determined in practices and the classroom, which have 
made my grades go from good to great. My junior and senior year of high school I received all 
A's and one B+, which then established many opportunities for scholarships and awards. I 
graduated with a 3.8 GPA, numerous awards, and 3 Scholarships for college. And I give my 
thanks to Zee Speed for helping instill the hardworking qualities that kept me going. 

Zee Speed has undeniably given me that X Factor in my athletics and has helped me stand out 
among the other girl athletes in Tacoma or where ever I go. I constantly receive compliments 
on my work ethics, techniques, and ability to perform in any drill (Especially when it comes to 
ladder drills).

I thank Zach and the trainers for always pushing me to do more or do better. And for genuinely 
caring about me as a person, I have been coached by a lot of different people and you don’t 
always find that a lot. That sense of family and personal attention really made a difference in 
my experience and made me feel wanted. Zach has been like a second father for me over the 
years, helping me in so many ways. I feel like I am much indebted to him for all that he has 
done for me and I will always help him in any way that I can. 

I thank the Zee Speed staff and organizers for being able to orchestrate such a large group of 
people and to have everything run so smoothly and pain free. Also I will personally always 
remember the Storm games and the duck tour we took in Seattle years back, those were all 
great experiences I haven’t been able to have anywhere else.

Finally, I am extremely grateful of the donors and sponsors of Zee Speed. Without your help of 
providing shoes and gear in the past I most likely wouldn’t have be able to participate in the 
camp, so I exceedingly give thanks to you!

I wholly thank you all for the past six years of mental and physical training Zee Speed has 
provided for me. I feel that I am beyond ready for this next step into college and cannot wait 
for the new athletic and academic challenges that await for me. 

With all respect,
