Henson and his trainer Anthony Spain have dialed it up in the last 5 weeks and have seen significant improvements.
"We are going to be rolling pretty deep I'm expecting 40-50 people from the desert coming out on Thursday," said Spain. "I'm excited for him to get out there and show everyone what he can do."
If you haven’t heard of @BerryHenson give him a follow. Amazing story this week qualifying for first US Open. He has been dedicated to his speed with trainer Anthony Spain for many years and has gained distance. Here is a sample of the speed and power work they do in the gym. pic.twitter.com/Ur4KNn4kSD
