PlyoCity

Foot Speed, Quickness, Explosiveness and Jumping Ability:

These are the components that are necessary to achieve success in most sports. Coaches and athletes are all desperately
searching for training methods and programs that will enhance performance and give them that competitive edge. There is
an individual and a company that has combined Russian and European training programs with his own Plyometrics
Methodology to create the most dynamic training program known today. The athletes and their enhanced performance tell
the story. Whether training an 8 year old soccer girl, a high school volleyball player or a pro athlete, all PlyoCity athletes
have one powerful element in common, " results ". If you examine the statistics, there is no program in the country
delivering the successful measured results of Mike Rangel and his company PlyoCity.

Mike Rangel's Story:

Mike Rangel has been studying and training athletes for over 25 years. As a "High Flyer" at Long Beach State on the
men's volleyball team in the 70's, Mike was recognized as someone who truly understood jumping . Mike, through his own
research and efforts, increased his own vertical jump from 36" to an unheard of 42" in a short 6 month period. Results that
to this day are remarkable.

As a basketball and volleyball coach at Edison High School in early 80's, Coach Rangel continued to refine his techniques
for achieving 1st, 2nd, and 3rd step quickness along with explosive jumping. The results again were amazing turning
average to good athletes into champions. " Its about creating a consistent training program, with proper technique and
constant repetition that delivers measured results," said Rangel. " The coaches, the parents, and the athletes clearly see the
increased performance in a short period (Usually 2-3 weeks). More importantly, the athletes gain immeasurable self
confidence through this difficult but rewarding program. "

PlyoCity began when Mike took his training methodology and applied it to his son, Steffin, who eventually went on to play
collegiately at Brigham Young University and later at the University of California-Irvine. Steffin has touched 11'8" on the
vertec leaper to make him one of the highest jumping volleyball players in the country at 19 years of age.

Beach volleyball legend Karch Kiraly was honored in a
tribute titled "Karch Kiraly ... The King of the Beach"
that will aired August 20 on FSN.

"Karch Kiraly ... The King of the Beach" focused on
both Kiraly's life and his successes on the sand,
including his years growing up in Santa Barbara, Calif.,
learning the game from his father, Dr. Laszlo Kiraly, a
Hungarian immigrant. The program follows his rise to
stardom on the indoor courts and his adjustment to
returning to the sand. His personal life, including his
relationship with his wife, Janna, and their sons Kristian
and Kory, will also be featured. AVP stars both past
and present (including current star player and former
partner Mike Lambert and current AVP Tour pro Dax
Holdren) were interviewed for this special, as well as
Steve Timmons (1984 and 1988 Olympic teammate),
Mike Dodd (beach legend) and his parents Laszlo and
Tony Kiraly.

Kiraly has won 148 beach titles - the most all-time - and
has captured at least one tournament in 24 of the 27
seasons he has played, a career spanning four different
decades. He has claimed titles in 24 different states
with 13 different partners. In domestic events, he has
finished lower than ninth place only four times and has
been in the semifinals more than 80 percent of the time.
Kiraly is the only volleyball player in Olympic history to
win three gold medals, having been part of the United
States' gold medal indoor teams in 1984 and 1988 and
winning the beach volleyball gold medal at the 1996
Summer Olympics in Atlanta with Kent Steffes.

Throughout his career, Kiraly has earned countless
accolades including: AVP Best Defensive Player
(2002), AVP Best Offensive Player (1990, 1993, 1994),
AVP Comeback Player of the Year (1997), AVP Most
Valuable Player (1990, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1998),
AVP Sportsman of the Year (1995, 1997, 1998) and
most recently AVP Outstanding Achievement (2004).
The FIVB has named Kiraly "Best Player in the World"
twice, in 1986 and 1988. He was inducted into the 2005
AVCA Hall of Fame class.
