Meet Our Team

Pitcher, Padres Organization

2022 3rd Round Draft Pick, San Diego Padres

2021 Golden Spikes Winner

“Ben was a very important key into the success of my career both as a Razorback and getting started with the Padres organization. The immeasurable care he gives to each player is unmatched as he truly cares about your personal growth and development as a player but more importantly as a man. An aspect that seems to always be overlooked in player development is building men & women of good character in the process. It was awe-inspiring for me growing as a young man to have someone encourage me as well as look up to as a strong Christian leader.”

Infielder, Orioles Organization (Retired)

2017 32nd Round Draft Pick, Baltimore Orioles

2017 MIAA Player of the Year

2017 Division II All-American

“I was fortunate enough to be able to train with Ben on multiple occasions. First, when I was rehabbing at the University of Arkansas from concussions, and second, during my 2017 offseason playing for the Orioles. To put it simply, if you’re looking for a guy that just flat-out gets it, Ben is that guy. Every program he writes is tailored to that athlete individually. Ben has both great knowledge and an incredible feel for the human body and how it’s supposed to move. This allows him to set his athletes up for their best success.”

“Emily is one of the best young strength and conditioning coaches I have had the pleasure to work with. Her background in track and Olympic lifting has prepared her well for teaching athletes proper foundational aspects of training. I look forward to following her career as she helps athletes improve for their given sport.”

2018 2nd Round Draft Pick, San Diego Padres

2018 NCAA All-American

“Ben Loftis is the best strength coach I’ve ever had in professional baseball. What sets Ben apart from the rest is that he cares not only about you as an athlete but more-so as a person. With Ben’s off-season program, I put on a solid 20 pounds, got faster, and was also in the best overall shape of my career. Putting weight and strength on has always been hard for me, but with Ben, I saw steady results throughout the offseason.”

“I had the absolute pleasure of being one of Emily’s student athletes at the University of Arkansas my last year of eligibility. I was able to connect with Emily fast and she quickly became an integral part of not only my career, but more importantly my overall life. One thing that drew me to Emily was not only her technical skill, but her attitude and ability to reach students where they are at. She cared about me as an athlete, but even more so as a person and that is not always easy to find. She pushed me to become the best version of myself and was always on my side to help with whatever I needed. While she excels at her skill, she cares deeply and gives everything to ensure her athletes feel heard and taken care of. I wouldn’t be where I’m at if it wasn’t for Emily and her constant support and help.”

Catcher, Padres Organization

2017 30th Round Draft Pick, San Diego Padres

“In 2018 I began training with Ben Loftis through the San Diego Padres organization. When it came to maximizing performance, I could tell he had the ability to bring out the best in people. Because of this I asked him on numerous occasions to put together my offseason training program. This, in return, led to amazing gains going into the following years. With the help of his programming, I was able to increase my strength, while at the same time decreasing my body fat, making me more explosive. Away from the weight room, Ben is an amazing communicator and someone I will consider a friend for life. The guy flat out gets after it and show you how to do the same.”

Razorback Men’s Tennis 2018-2022

"Emily was a huge contribution to my success in tennis at the University of Arkansas. It was the first time I ever saw our Coach let a strength and conditioning coach take the reins, all because she knew exactly what our tennis team needed each and every day. What I loved about having Emily as our S&C coach was that she didn’t just go through the motions and have us lifting heavy weight to make us look stronger but she made it sport specific that way we felt strong and to where we were the fittest team in the SEC. She made sure we did not lose but would win matches because of our fitness and strength. She knew when to push us hard in the gym and on the hills and when to take care of our bodies. Even the specifics that she drew up for our tennis game was huge because it was related to our tennis movements. I think the bigger take away from Emily was how great of a person she is. Her faith and character tell you that she’ll put the time and work into her clients. Our whole team misses her because of the effort she put in to making us better."
