We had the opportunity to work, speak and get some video at the Rocky Boiman Football Camp last week in Cincinnati, Ohio. ASAP's Ted Lambrinides and Cincinnati Moeller Head Football Coach John Rodenberg were guest speakers.
Coach Rodenberg has had an exciting coaching career that includes a Division 1 (big schools) 2012 State Football Championship [Ohio] at Cincinnati Moeller High School. Here's a video of Coach Rodenberg's talk to the youth campers as he delivered a great message for all young athletes!

Kim Wood was Cincinnati Bengal Head Coach Paul Brown's first and only strength coach. He served in that capacity for thirty years. Now retired, he's sharing his knowledge, that helped his squads appear in two Super Bowls, with the coaching community. His straight forward and extreme methodology to training is no easy path....yet, the results of strict adherence to his training program can bump an athlete to the next level!
This clinic is primarily for football coaches, though strength professionals who train and prepare athletes to participate in all sports will certainly gain by attending. Football Strong Click on the weight plate for more information on this clinic
We all go through the game of life with a fumble or turnover here and there...some of us with much bigger mistakes. Nevertheless, we all learn
lessons from those experiences, no matter how tough they may end up
being. The great thing about mankind is we have an ability to forgive
others as we take notice that they're taking strides toward
improvement... we all love a comeback story! Maurice Clarett's book is "A Season
of Thoughts" and a step in the right direction for this incredibly
gifted athlete who got thrown for a big loss...and ASAP~Athletic Strength And Power wishes him the best!
One of the most valuable lessons learned in sport is that when you get
knocked down.... you gotta get back up!
Former Ohio State Buckeye standout running backs Maurice Clarett and Boom Herron (photo vs Oregon) have been in training in Columbus at the Ohio State University's Woody Hayes Athletic Center.They helped demo a few of the new strength training stations in the recently refurbished weight room...like the Pit Shark belt squat machine, the neutral grip bars, the Captains of Crush hand grippers, some of the hand strength development pieces, and the new wide attachment handles for the Power-Lift Lat Pulldown stations. It's all in the video. Daniel "Boom" Herron @BOOMHERRON1 is presently a running back with the Cincinnati Bengals Clarett @ReeseClarett13 , who scored the winning touchdown in the 2003 National Championship Game for the Ohio State Buckeyes vs the Miami Hurricanes, has authored a book: "My Life. My Story. My Redemption... A Season of Thoughts" and is making an attempt at the game of rugby...possibly for the Olympic Team! He also maintains his blog with plenty of regular entries... and fitness training workouts. The new book is a compilation of Clarett's "deepest and purist thoughts" during some of his most trying and adverse circumstances: Prison Life.

ASAP Director of Video Production, Ed Cicale recently revisited Ohio State Buckeye Associate Director of Football Strength And Conditioning, Rick Court and Assistant A.D. for Football Sports Performance, Mickey Marotti. On this visit, the focus was on the upgrades and changes to the football training center located within The Woody Hayes Athletic Center. Slowly, they have been making big changes in the Buckeye weightroom...which , logistically, isn't the easiest thing to pull off while trying to train one of the top teams in all of college football. However, they've managed!
The training center rivals any weight training center in the world... and is certainly a plus for any recruit who takes major college football and physical training seriously. So take a look at the video and find out what's been going on in "C-bus"
ASAP colleagues Dave Lawson (Director of Football Strength & Conditioning) and Mike Szerszen (Associate Strength Coach) are settling in down in Knoxville, Tennessee. In fact, they are ready to have their first Strength Clinic.
Lawson and Szerszen are all part of the big change that took place in Tennessee Volunteer Country during the college football off-season. Both coaches came south with newly selected Head Football Coach, Butch Jones. The new football coach made sure to bring along Dave Lawson to oversee the Vols' strength training routines, as they try to make Tennessee Football relevant, once again. The expectations are high in Knoxville, where their Volunteers have not claimed a National Championship since 1998. Fans pour into Neyland Stadium...over 102,455 fans! And they're hungry for an SEC Crown! Coach Lawson and staff chiseled out some impressive players with their demanding and challenging workouts during their tenure at The University of Cincinnati. But now, the bar has been raised and every week's game can present a formidable opponent. Like next season, the Vols will be heading to Eugene, Oregon for a game against the Ducks.... then they'll head back to SEC Country for the typical match-ups of Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, and, of course, Alabama! Throw in a few more SEC games on top of those!
So, now's your chance to get in at the ground level and learn about this exciting and rigorous training program that will no doubt have the Vols ready to go toe-to-toe with anyone in 2013.
The Big Ten Conference "LEADERS DIVISION" title was claimed by the Ohio State Buckeyes. Discover how Mick Marotti and his strength staff get the Buckeyes strong....and keep them that way!
