My name is Ben Melville and I am the founder of Ben10Training. My motivation to launch Ben10Training started back in 2022 while I was a two-sport college athlete, playing both basketball and football. I found myself in incredible amounts of pain on a day-to-day basis despite doing all of “the right things”. I was stretching for an hour everyday, taking ice-baths daily, getting treatment, eating right, and the whole 9 yards. I was very hardworking, and it felt like my hard work was being canceled out due to fighting through pain and being sidelined from injuries. I was ready to accept my fate of being crippled in pain and just move on with life after sports. As I was ready to throw in the towel, I was introduced to GOATA training from Coach Garry Sheffler, owner of GLS Training, and Ricky Stanzi, former NFL quarterback and co-owner of GLS Training. They introduced me to a new form of training known as GOATA that focuses on strengthening an athletes movement patterns primarily through isometrics and decompression. I’ll be honest, at first I though it was ridiculous. Not only were they telling me that everything I’ve been taught was essentially hurting me more than it’s been helping me, but all I had to do was simply move different and I’ll feel better. I figured I was already a slave to my body’s wear and tear, so I thought, “why not”. After about 2 sessions I noticed an immediate difference in the type of work that I was doing, and after about two weeks, the changes in how I was moving as well as the difference in my level of pain was shocking. The more I continued to learn, the more I connected the dots, and everything just made sense. Now I’m not a doctor, and I’m not a physical therapist, but I am a high level athlete and a certified trainer that has done the conventional methods of athletic training, as well as the movement-based methods. I’m here to tell you the results are drastically different and quite frankly, not even comparable.
