My name is John Evans and I am the co-founder of Thpstrength, a company that focuses on vertical jump training for athletes. I currently coach three of the highest jumpers in the world; Isaiah Rivera, Donovan Hawkins, and Tony Crosby.
What separates me from other coaches in the industry is that I have worked with a majority of the top track and field coaches. Here is a brief overview of my journey:
14: I completed most of the popular vertical jump programs with limited success, and began searching for better answers in text books.
15: Hit my first dunk at 5’10” and started reading scientific literate and training journals from elite track and field athletes
16: Began training under Mike Young, who would later mentor me in the field
17: Trained 20 hours a week under the tutelage of Mike and continued to research sport science
18-21: Graduated with a sports science degree in 3 years after completing 2000 hours interning under Mike in North Carolina
22: Traveled to Phoenix to work under arguably the world’s top track and field group
23: Completed my Master’s degree in sport science alongside a two year mentorship with top weightlifting coach, Vance Newgard
24: Worked with an Elite track and field group under Mike prior to starting THP
The reason I share so many stories of successful athletes is in hopes of helping athlete’s like myself achieve success in an area once riddled with misinformation and false promises.
My mission is to inspire others to focus on what they can control and maximize those areas, namely, working as hard as they can to be a stronger, more explosive, better athlete.
