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. This is where a bunch of NFL hopefuls from this past college season will be trying to impress NFL coaches with their athletic prowess.

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 [...]
The time has come to see how brilliant my NFL draft predictions were. When I posted the prediction post a couple weeks ago, someone commented immediately that one of my predictions was going to be way off and he was right. […]
