The NCAA has regulations regarding how much contact student athletes and college coaches should have before they get to their senior year of high school. This contact is restricted in response to times past where colleges were going all out and getting young athletes to add to their rosters. It is important for families to [...]
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 [...]
I got a call recently from Dr. Robert Ruffalo wanting to use me to do Functional Movement Screens for some of the best young football players in the country. I said where is this at? He responded by saying it is at Football University FBU’s Top Gun school which is being held at Dublin Jerome [...]
I’ve been attending OSU football games since I was a little kid. Not that I attend every home game, but I try to get down there for one game a season. OSU is one of the top football programs in the country and I’ve always wondered if the experience is similar if you attended say [...]
How is this for a coincidence? Last Thursday, I wrote a blog post on how to eat properly for your August football practice (which you can click here to read).

The NFL Draft is done and now it is time to see if you did well at the combine. If you ran a fast 40 yard dash, does that translate to being drafted or being drafted high. I focused just on their combine results. I tried not to read that much about them when I [...]
Guess what? Tonight is the first round of the NFL Draft. Not that there will be any surprises about who the top several picks will be, but I’ll probably watch a good chunk of it anyways. I think what will be more interesting to you is to see how my draft predictions go during this [...]
A few years back, I thought it would be neat to make predictions on where NFL draftees would end up getting drafted based on how they did at the NFL Combine. I watch college football and know of the big name players, but I really don’t know about all these college players who are trying [...]
