...about 3 years ago, a very well mannered, young high school football player made the mistake of playing the "may i have another" game with us down at ELITE...

...during some medicine ball training, Tom Hall requested (a shade on the sarcastic side) if we could possibly get a heavier set for him... immediately I ordered the two heaviest commercially available.

Appropriately, the balls were immediately named "Tom Hall" and subsequently, many...many athletes grew to know Tom not as the athlete but as a pair of heavy medicine balls...

...but that, like I said was years ago....

...Now ELITE NATION, knows Tom Hall as the same well mannered, well spoken...Bison Leading Tackler in 2009, Russ Jackson Award Winner (CIS Football Athlete of the Year), and Sports Writers' Guild of Manitoba's nominee for Manitoba's Male Athlete of the Year...

...in "the box" on Ness, if I had a nickel for every time I heard "but, I hate TOM Hall" I could solve world hunger with the cash...but now, through hard work, both on and off the field... we have now all become proud to call Tom Hall our friend and someone who has truly become an ELITE ATHLETE>

we are very pleased to announce MR. TOM HALL as ELITE PERFORMANCE CENTERS ATHLETE OF THE YEAR- 2009

Great job youngster, here is to much continued success,

your pal, and biggest fan,
