Collegiate Football

Ron Jones, Cade Jones, & Tyler Saso

Hi, my name is Tyler Saso; I am a defensive lineman at Bakersfield College. Ron Jones came into the B.C. Football program in the spring of 04’. Coach Jones was given 14 weeks to turn athletes into even better ones. We worked with coach Jones four days a week. He even spent time with those who wanted extra work on our off days. Ron has spent many hours away from practice putting together workouts that are specifically designed for football players. During practices Coach Jones would explain every detail of the exercises we were doing, and he would even explain the science behind it. I found it to be very challenging at some points, but well worth it. He not only tested our bodies, but also our minds. His background in sport psychology was helpful. Coach Jones taught me to use my mind to get what I wanted out of my body. While training, we only used our own body weight to do the exercises. Ron introduced new exercises and routines occasionally, and I never found myself doing the same old thing day after day. The training I did was all centered around the “core” of the body, and all of the stabilizer muscles in-between the main mover muscles. I found it extremely helpful. I started to notice physical changes in body after the first two weeks. I was able to use the strength I gained more efficiently on the field. I have also noticed that I walk differently now because muscles in my body are more active than ever before. My flexibility has increased dramatically. I have gone from bending over and barely touching my toes to putting my palms on the ground, and holding that position comfortably. My lifts in the weight room have also increased as well in such a short period of time. I have been working out for a long time, and I have never had such big increases. Quickness for me has improved big time. When I cut to change directions the stability in my body is incredible. I have competed in sports all my life, and I have never had a coach that cared and that has been so much involved as Ron Jones. The time Ron has put in and the results I have gotten back are truly amazing. Thanks for everything and the memories; you’re the best Coach Jones.

Tyler Saso is one of the hardest working and most disciplined athletes I've had the honor of working with in my career.  He is an intelligent athlete that is a student of his sport. He got results because he worked hard and learned to think critically about what and why he was doing it--and then learned how to do it better. Make no mistake--Tyler Saso will get it done this fall and beyond as a student and athlete. I'm looking forward to following his progress in the years to come. Go for it Tyler!
