I am excited for his PPA clients to reap the same benefits as me as Coach Keith continues to be an integral part of my professional journey."

"There are many men that follow the path forged by others, few actually are willing to set that path. In my role as president of the National Strength and Conditioning Association, I found that Floyd would evaluate a situation and then set the course of action based upon what was the right thing to do. At the end of the day, that is all you can ask of a man! I am blessed to consider Floyd a friend."
