My name is Conley Wessel, founder of TurfBlox. Athletic performance coaching started as a hobby for me a few years ago. I soon fell in love with the process of helping people prepare mentally and physically for the sports they play and left my career of 12 years in the legal industry to focus on training.
In 2020, I began practicing a movement system that highlights the use of slant boards. Eventually, I found myself using them in all sorts of settings, including out on the field. However, it was during my sessions with a college running back that the need for a “different” type of board became evident. There was a transitional gap in our sessions I wanted to remove.
So the question arose, “What if we put turf on these?” After developing and testing several prototypes, we finally came to a working model. Now, athletes can capitalize on combining slant board and field training by using both together in the same footwear during gameplay.
Every set of TurfBlox is built by hand by my son and I in our garage in California.
I hope others will find them beneficial in their programming, and I cannot wait to see all the creative ways other trainers and athletes use them. I also want to send a special thank you to all those who have helped bring this idea to life!
