Dr. "Coach" Richard Keelor...this man changed my life! Being raised by a single mom and moving many times, I was fortunate to land at a school where Dr. Keelor was my sports coach and became my life coach. My life was changed forever. Not only did I become a much better athlete, I became a better man, son, brother and participant in the community.
To this day, I carry the "Life Lessons" taught to me by this remarkable individual. Dr. Keelor's knowledge, leadership, dedication, motivation and, most of all, caring and understanding gave me life skills that I live by everyday.
We all experience challenges throughout our lives. We need tools to help see us through. Dr. Keelor gave me the 'Life Tools" needed to meet these challenges and move forward as a stronger, more productive individual. I have and always will keep passing these lessons on to everyone throughout my lifetime. With sincere respect and appreciation,

Dr. Keelor,
I wanted to write to personally thank you for helping me devise a workout program. I completed my first week of the program (that you discussed with my father via telephone) and I am enjoying it. I think this program is very doable (though challenging) and I will work hard at it.

Coach Keelor:
My PTA [see PTA FAQ for more information] is more today and progressively increasing. I was more stiff this morning and progressively throughout today…. I do believe that I have an adequate weight at this beginning of a new routine, as you've instructed. My PTA feels just right primarily due to my base DB program exercises that I've been doing for about four months or so. Thanks again for this beginning program!
