How to Develop the Fastest, Strongest Football Players You've
Ever Seen. . . Without Having to Sacrifice Practice Time or Become a
Strength & Conditioning Expert

At last! Here are the football specific training techniques of 14 year NFL Strength and Conditioning Coach

Football Coaches, Trainers and Parents:

Imagine this:

It's Friday night. The field is lit up and the standing room only crowd roars like a jumbo jet at takeoff. Only three seconds remain in the fourth quarter and your team trails by four points. You have time to run one more play. Score and you're Super Bowl Bound. Fail and you're a footnote in history.

The ball is snapped, the crowd falls silent and the world around you slips smoothly into slow motion. With your heart in your throat and everything on the line, an entire season of preparation, practice and planning flashes before your eyes.

Both coaching staffs have schemed, scouted and game planned well. When the headline is written in tomorrow's paper, and with one play to decide the season, everyone will know the truth:

The winning team outperformed the loser when it mattered most because they were flat out more athletic. Quicker. Faster. Stronger. More explosive. Better conditioned.

Better prepared.

Take a moment to ask yourself one question:

When the clock strikes :00 and the victor has been decided, will you have developed more athletic skill in each of your players than the staff on the opposing sideline?

Will your players have the speed and agility to create separation, elude the defender or turn the corner? To beat the defense off the line or through the gap? Will they have the strength and power to move the line back or carry a pile of defenders that extra yard into the end zone?

With your season (and program) about to be defined by a single play, have you developed the football specific conditioning that will give your players, at every position, enough gas in the tank to physically outperform their opponent and take care of their assignment when fatigue and pressure are overwhelming all their senses?

Because you know how much time, effort and preparation goes into your football season. But are you spending it in all the right places?

You can't really expect to beat the best programs on your schedule if you're neglecting, ignoring, downplaying and/or dismissing the importance of speed, strength and conditioning, can you?

So, when it comes to winning year in and year out, think about the difference that makes the difference. . .

Elite football programs, from Pop Warner to the NFL, run and teach specific progressions for developing acceleration, deceleration and change of direction speed that lead to more yards on offense. . . and less given up by the defense.

The weight room is not a free for all, but a structured part of training given the same focus as your offensive and defensive schemes.

In 2010, developing football specific conditioning can't consist of 'Junction Boys' style training or running outdated 'gassers' up and down the field at the end of practice.

Not if you want to run the type of program that competes for titles year after year after year after decade.

Of course, I understand why you might be hesitant to put as much time and effort into speed, strength and conditioning as you put into offense, defense and special teams.

Maybe you feel overwhelmed by the process. It seems like a lot of work and you don't consider yourself an expert in teaching speed or writing and implementing a technical strength training or conditioning program. So you hope spending more time scouting, scheming and watching film will compensate for your team's lack of speed, size and strength.

It won't.

Or perhaps you're a parent. You want your son to get more snaps this season or make Varsity, but you really have no idea what to do. You're not a coach, so you feel powerless. At the same time, your research online suggests that his coaches aren't running the type of offseason (or inseason) program to give him the tools to earn that extra playing time.

It doesn't matter what your reasons are. It only matters that you're reading this now. Because the answers to your questions and the solutions to your problems are literally a click away. . .

NFL Head Strength and Conditioning Coach has just put the finishing touches on the only comprehensive, soup to nuts, football specific training program available anywhere.

And once you see what his program contains and how easy it is for you to understand and implement, you'll immediately realize Total Football Training is exactly what you've been searching for. Whether you're a coach, trainer or parent. Experienced in speed, strength and conditioning or still getting your feet wet. . .

He took that experience to heart when he began creating Total Football Training and the result is the most comprehensive and practical football training program in the world.

As you know, most football training programs have too many holes in them to fully develop the level of athleticism in your players that you want to see.

Some only address straight ahead speed. Others stick to multidirectional speed and agility. You may find some with football specific drills and exercises, but there's no progression in terms of where, when, how many to do and how often.

One program might talk about strength training. Or flexibility and mobility. Or conditioning. But no program puts it all together in a way you can easily understand and apply, regardless of your experience or current comfort level in running such a program.

So let's take a look at the program that will to revolutionize the way you train and condition your football players. Forever.

Introducing:

The 6 DVD program contains every drill and exercise you'll need to develop maximal athletic skill in your athletes. From the warm up to mobility work, linear and lateral speed, strength and power development to general and specific conditioning, Total Football Training lays out which exercises to do in each of the aforementioned categories, how many, how often and in what order.

For eight straight weeks.

So you don't have to spend any time fumbling around deciding how to put the pieces of the puzzle together before you ever run a workout. Because Coach put the puzzle for you already. All you have to do is go out to practice, run the program (and take all the credit!)

Of course, there's more to running a dominant program than just running workouts or doing speed drills. And Coach covers both the foundational training issues relevant to your athletes and shares his philosophy on how to get your players committed to a 110% effort each and every day.

These lecture style presentations lay the foundation for both establishing a positive team philosophy and approach, as well as setting up the structure of the actual drills/exercises/workouts DVDs that follow. This way, you'll understand 'why' the workouts are set up the way they are, so you can modify and evolve your program as time goes on and you get more comfortable.

As you go through these videos, you'll begin to understand how big an impact these philosophies and training principles will have on your athletes. Here are some of the lessons Coach covers in his 84+ minute Program Design Considerations presentation:

• Why you can't get the most out of your athletes until they know how much you care
• How to establish standards of excellence for everyone involved in your program
• Why training must be specific to the task (or athletes won't see continuous improvement)
• 'Gas Tank Theory' - Secrets to understanding how much of each activity your athletes can handle
• 6 specific Intensive Training Activities your program should revolve around
• Exactly why 'less is more' when it comes to workout planning
• The truth about 'under recovery' and overtraining (and how they may be affecting your players' performance right now)
• How to help your players overcome fatigue
• Proven methods for synthesizing movement and weight training
• An ideal way to integrate warm up, mobility, stability and regeneration. . . specifically tailored for football
• How to optimize core training/development for football players
• The secret to improving mobility in your players (at every position)
• And much, much more. . .

This DVD covers every set, rep, exercise and workout for the first 4 weeks of the program. What to do. When to do it. How many sets. How many reps. The order it should be done. How to teach it, coach it and cue it.

Seriously.

This is the foundational portion of your training program, so the focus with each element of training is on building foundational speed, strength, mobility, stability and endurance.

What does that mean exactly? Based on a 4 day per week training schedule, each day has a specific Daily Training Focus:

Day 1: Acceleration
Day 2: Work Capacity Circuit
Day 3: Multidirectional and Top End Speed
Day 4: Hill Day

Here is what is covered for each training session (on every DVD):

• Glute activation
• Movement Prep/Active Warmup
• Self Myofascial Release (aka Poor Man's Massage)
• Active Isolated Stretching (AIS)
• Dynamic Mobility
• CNS Activation
• Main Workout (i.e., Daily Training Focus)
• Strength Training

The workouts, drills and exercises in this Block of training build on the previous four weeks with new drills and clear progressions laid out for you.

Daily Training Focus:

Day 1: Acceleration
Day 2: Alactic Power Circuit
Day 3: Multidirectional and Top End Speed
Day 4: Hill Day

Simply follow the workouts as they are demonstrated and listed on the DVD and in the manual. Coach takes all the guesswork out of the equation in order to save you time. So you can continue to focus on game specific skills.

Block 2B morphs out of general movement skill development into position specific workouts. Your players will perform 10-12 position specific movements with game specific rest intervals. Because you've followed the progression, your football players will be moving with speed, power and quickness they've never felt before.

. . .and not to worry, Coach covers all the movements, by position, on the DVD and in the manual!

Daily Training Focus:

Day 1: Acceleration
Day 2: Metabolic/Position Specific Workout
Day 3: Metabolic/Position Specific Circuit
Day 4: Tempo Day

As you'd expect, when the workouts progress week to week, the drills change and evolve. So your athletes will never get bored with training because they're not doing the same old workouts day after day, week after week.

Their bodies will continue to adapt to new stresses and that means continuous improvements to speed, strength, flexibility, mobility, and endurance.

Coach took all the weight room and strength training exercises in the program, and then some, and put them all in one place.

Want your athlete/s to see how to do a lift correctly . Give them the DVD

Don't feel comfortable demonstrating a lift? Play the DVD for your athletes.

When you start implementing this program, you'll be quite surprised at just how economical and valuable this DVD is.

This DVD contains:

• 11 Total Body Exercises
• 29 Lower Body Exercises
• 28 Upper Body Exercises
• 3 Shoulder Girdle Exercises
• 17 Core Exercises

The Total Football Training Manual revolutionizes the way coaches will integrate manuals and DVDs in the future.

Because the manual works seamlessly with the DVDs, making understanding and implementation of this program so easy, well, a caveman could do it. . .

The manual has 6 sections:

1 - Movement Training

It starts with an 'On Field Guide' that, literally, contains every exercise, workout and progression in the entire 8 week program and presents it on paper. So you can easily access the day's workouts while out on the field, make copies for your staff or athletes. You don't have to write anything down because it's already done for you.

It's that easy.

Up next:

All the position specific workouts in easily printable format. You'll be using these charts in season and out of season for as long as you coach football. And then a little while after that. . .

2 - Strength Training

Coach also gives you workout sheets for the entire strength training program (all sets, reps and progressions of course) including coaching cues for each exercise so you always know what to keep an eye out for when you're in the weight room (instead of needing to see the DVDs to remember the coaching cues).

I recommend watching the DVDS while following along in the manual.

Or going through the manual and watching the corresponding DVD and exercises. There's no searching and scanning required because they are parallel programs.

It's almost criminal how easy this is to use. Almost.

3 & 4 - Nutrition Manual and Recovery Presentation with James Harris MS, RD, SCCC

Football players are on an endless mission to gain or lose weight. But it needs to be healthy weight, not junk weight.

The Total Football Training Manual gives you practical nutritional information you can take to the field, sample meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner), snacks and even covers Pre and Post Workout Supplementation! The Holy Grail of topics for all the football players I know.

Want to monitor your athletes' eating and recovery habits? The Training Recovery Journal goes through a checklist of questions that will keep your athletes on course. And on the field.

5 - Total Football Training Lecture PowerPoint

Here are the PowerPoint slides from Coach's Program Design Considerations presentations. With the presentation covering nearly 90 minutes, you'll want to jot down your thoughts and ideas.

Attaching them to the slide/topic they came from only allows you to be that much more organized. Organization allows you to focus your efforts on the areas you think are most important to the success of your program.

6 - Mobility and Stability Lecture PowerPoint with Christina Specos

Featured in the mobility, stability and core sections of the program, you'll be spending more time focused on mobility and stability once you see how big of an impact they have on athletic performance.

Put it all together and you have the most comprehensive, yet easy to understand, Total Football Training Program available anywhere.
