Fun Facts
Kendrick began Oly Weighlifting 12 years ago at the prompting of his uncle. Michael Jordan and Muhammad Ali inspired him to become an athlete, and he continues to be inspired today by Ray Lewis, Dwayne Wade, Kyle Pierce (his coach), and his mother, Monica Lockett. D-Wade’s passion and love for the game drives him to be the best in his sport. His favorite charity is Give Kids the World, based in Orlando, FL. He become involved in the charity because of his wife, who is a huge supporter. She went to Orlando and volunteered and has been an avid supporter ever since. They just threw a Christmas Charity Party at her clothing store and all proceeds went to Give Kids the World. They are planning to start their own charity this year to help give inner city kids the same chance Kendrick was given.
Best advice ever given to him: Set goals and achieve them
Best advice for others: Believe in yourself and be proactive
I take Progenex Recovery and More Muscle. As an athlete your body needs to recover after a hard work out. My workouts work every part of my body, so it is very important I have a good recovery regimen. That’s why I started taking Progenex products. I have taken other products, but none that make me feel as good and relaxed as the Progenex Recovery and More Muscle. I would recommend these products to anyone that is serious about their performance and especially their recovery.
