After finishing watching the college football season, one thing is very clear to me. SPEED IS ESSENTIAL. The phrase used to be “speed kills,” but in this day and age I don’t know who will get on me for saying that so we will stick with “speed is essential.” Watching Alabama play and win another [...]
Christian McCaffery, the running back for the Carolina Panthers, is having a monster year. His speed has been very evident this season as he has simply been running faster than everybody else. He has 3 touchdown runs of 50 or more yards, tops in the league. McCaffery and his speed coach, Brian Kula, have made [...]
I recently saw a headline that said something to the effect of watching this 190 pound football player squat 600 pounds. So, being the speed coach I am, I watched it. I don’t know if he got as low as I would have made him get to be counted as a squat, but it certainly [...]
The 2018 NFL Draft happened this past weekend. I watched some of it, but not like I usually do. I am knee deep in track season stuff and just didn’t have the time. What I really enjoy watching is the NFL Combine. I watch that like I’m binge watching a TV series on Netflix. I [...]
In a little over a month, you will be hearing about the NFL Combine.

For the last 7 years or so, I’ve been writing blog posts predicting which NFL hopefuls would get drafted and where, purely on their 40 times. Well, I was a little slow this year getting my data together so I was unable to write my prediction’s blog this year. Just got busy. Now that the [...]
The week of the NFL Draft, I wrote my blog about if you were the slowest performer in the 40 at the NFL Combine for your position, would you get drafted? […]
This week will mark another NFL draft in the making. Since 2010, I have made bold predictions on who will get drafted and where based on their NFL combine 40 time. What we basically have learned is that the 40 isn’t a good indicator for that. […]
What? Not let him play youth football! Well, it’s not exactly what you think. First off, I don’t have a son (that I know of), so this will never be a discussion in my household. But, this is a topic I’ve thought about for awhile and started sharing with some of my clients who have [...]
