The sophomore left-hander earned her 15th save of the season, which ties the NCAA Division I single-season record.
“Active Strength is great for all athletes looking to get stronger, faster, work on their technique. Some things I’ve learned in my time here is definitely; getting stronger, how to do cleans correctly. I’ve gotten so much more powerful and that’s helped me all throughout my softball career. “
Taylor Pannell #78, Mizzou Softball, Pitcher
She became the first athlete in Missouri Class 3 history to win state titles in Long Jump, Triple Jump, and High Jump in a single year.
“Training at Active Strength helped me become the fastest I’ve ever been, the strongest I’ve ever been, most mentally tough I’ve ever been, and it really just helped me become what I needed to achieve my goals.”
April Phillips
Active Strength Company Athlete, Catcher, 2025 MNU Commit.
“Training at Active Strength Company has completely transformed my performance on the field. My overall strength has skyrocketed. I can fire the ball to second base with more velocity and power, even when contact isn’t perfect. When I first joined, my squat was around 245-260 pounds, and now I’m up to 325 pounds, recently repping 315 for three. My bench press jumped from somewhere in the hundreds to 215, nearly hitting 225! Every aspect of my strength has improved significantly, and I’m excited to keep pushing my limits.”
Caden Pollo
Active Strength Company Athlete
“Training at Active Strength Company has been an incredible experience. It’s a fun, competitive environment where I’ve made serious progress. When I started, my deadlift was around 225 pounds, and now I can do 405 for 10 reps and keep pushing higher. My speed has also improved—my 60-yard dash went from 7.4 seconds to 6.8 seconds. On the field, I’ve become much more explosive. This past summer, I stole 30 bases and only got caught once! My swing has more power too—you can hear the crack of the bat and see the ball travel farther. The progress I’ve made has helped me gain college looks and offers. I’m excited to keep training and see what’s next!”

“Active Strength is a very good investment for anybody who’s ready to get serious about their sport or who’s ready to put on muscle, ready to train hard. Me, I did track freshman, sophomore, junior year, and coming here and working out with active strength was the best thing for me. I didn’t even know how to use weights or how to get a plan together, but coming here and working with Coach Jess got me on track, and I was able to make it all the way to state. So I would say this is a very good investment, and I highly recommend it.”
