You are always there for me, making sacrifices in your life so I could achieve mine. My dreams soon became OUR dreams"
Caleb Williams attended high school in Washington, D.C., and trained for years at Athletic Republic Capitol Region in District Heights. AR Capitol Region is owned and operated by Caleb’s father, Carl Williams, and his partners Russ Thomas and Mark McCain, who set out to introduce a concept that would positively impact the athletic development of their children and countless other athletes in the greater Washington D. C. and Baltimore area (DMV). In addition to Williams, athletes such as Michigan running back Blake Corum, Scottish track and field Olympian Nicole Yeargin, and two-time NBA champion Quinn Cook, have all trained with AR Capitol Region. Athletic Republic has trained nearly 2 million athletes in its 30+ years of operation, including 8 Heisman finalists to improve their speed, power, agility, and game-day performance.
