Adventures in Training with a Purpose

Adventures in Training with a Purpose ATP is a nonprofit organization focused on helping those most in need improve their quality of life through and adventure of purposeful, physical training.

ATP was founded in 2015 by Jon Kolb. We are an organization that looks to serve people that fall on the "extreme" ends of each spectrum. We assist the injured, sick, athletes and anyone dedicated towards health and performance. People that fall into these categories are often overlooked and require a personalized program in order to meet their goals.

Coming off the team's Super Bowl IX championship, the Pittsburgh Steelers reported to training camp at St. Vincent's in July of 1975, savoring their win but focused on adding another. While the media reported on a number of rookies who stood out at camp, one player rose above the others.

John Banaszak was an unlikely rookie sensation: a 25-year-old free agent who served in the Marine Corps before playing football at Eastern Michigan University. Described as "stronger than cheap gin" in the Pittsburgh Press, Banaszak impressed Coach Noll with his quickness and strength. In practice on July 28, Banaszak put several of the veterans, including Jon Kolb, on their backs in a nose-to-nose drill.

While calling him "extremely impressive" Noll reserved judgement until after he watched Banaszak perform in game situations. Clearly John delivered, earning three Super Bowl rings in his seven-year (1975-81) career with the team.
