Football Speed Camp:
"How to improve your 40 yard dash"
Jimmy L'Amour
I decided to write these tips after being asked to help at a local indoor football tryout. I was amazed how many athletes were not in a proper stance for the 40 yard dash. I knew I could not make any difference in strength in such a short period of time, but sometimes some refining in technique can help with an adequate base of strength. I told one guy to make sure he fires of off both feet and to make sure his first step is horizontal not vertical. He used those cues and dropped his 40 yard dash from a 4.78 to a 4.68. I wanted to share these tips with you because I know I was once misinformed about how to perform at my best in this test. I have to thank Coach Defranco because the tips I practiced from his Mastering the Combine DVD helped me run a 4.30 40. I hope you find this useful and feel free to contact me with any questions.

10 Things I Wish I Had Done as an Athlete!
Jeremy Frisch
Article and Audio Interview
This past fall I finally hung 'em up. I had been playing football from the 4th grade Pop Warner days, throughout high school, college and even a small stint in the semi-pro leagues, but it was time to let it go. Work was getting hectic and my athletes were consuming much of my day, leaving me little time to focus on my own athletic endeavors. On top of all this, my wife had just given birth to a baby boy and, as all you parents out there know, life was crazy enough without adding a few games or practices to the mix. Not to mention my body was finally feeling the rigors of 25 years on the gridiron. . . . keep reading

Do We Always Train Football Players Wrong?
Michael Boyle
I spent the first fifteen years of my career training football players. I still train them for the NFL Combine and in the off-season although I no longer train a college team. However, I can't tell you how often I have the same conversation with high school and college strength coaches. The conversation goes something like this. "Mike, I need a program. I need to get my linemen bigger and my skill position guys faster" Seems like a logical request at first glance doesn't it. Linemen need to be big and skill guys need to be fast, right? Let's look a little deeper... . . . keep reading
