A 1-year-old boy is already following in the footsteps of his athletic trainer dad.

"He sees me do it and he just mimics me," Gino Williams, a trainer for nine years and the owner of Team Athletic Training, said of his son, Jaymari.

Williams, 33, of Highland, California, shared a video on Instagram of Jaymari running a speed ladder behind him and doing squats.
