Expert Profile: Rick Karboviak

Expertise:  ATTENTION: I will not be taking any more questions from kids, ages 17 & under, through this site. If any kid wants some help, their parent must ask the question. Plese be specific, no more "I need to gain weight and get a 6-pack, pleeez help, thanx" types of questions. I will no longer reply to these. I can help you with most questions regarding strength training for a wide variety of sports, primarily for the youth, high school, college, and recreational athlete levels. I can also assist with general fitness concerns. I also will not respond to generic "I need to lose weight fast, please help' type of questions either. This is a waste of my time. You need a strategy, not a program alone, for this type of assistance. Also, I DO NOT GIVE PROGRAMS through this service. Do not ask for any program, please, because chances are that I know nothing about you to even begin creating a program. As a professional, I need many pieces of information to even begin constructing something for my client, and this sometimes takes up to 45 minutes in a face-to-face visit. There's just no way I can do it in one email! Thank you. If you need just new cardio workouts, you can subscribe to my mobile phone text messaging workout service, FiText, at http://fitext.speeddialcoach.com

Past/Present clients
Various athletes in North Dakota, Ohio & Minnesota, from youth to Division I college athletes.

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?  To be a great resource for sports & fitness strategies.
Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:  Fitness is more strategy-based than it is program-based. No magic workout works for everyone, its the strategy you take that defines success or failure with your fitness goals. You may have the world's greatest program in your hands, but its nothing to you if you fail to apply basic time-management principles and realistic approaches to your goals.
