ATHLETIC STRENGTH AND POWER

ASAP at East Lansing: Michigan State vs Ohio State

Proper techniques need to be mastered by athletes through the execution of many repetitions over a long period of time.

Speed does not develop after just a week or two of drills. Months of hard training and the execution of hundreds of drills can help an athlete to be ready to perform at peak levels.

ASAP~Athletic Strength And Power went on location to East Lansing, Michigan to witness some of the finest conditioned college football athletes. Michigan State vs Ohio State. Both programs develop top notch athletes. MSU's former star, Plaxico Burress made some stellar catches in last year's Super Bowl victory for the New York Giants. Thirty former Buckeyes are presently on NFL rosters.

Movement patterns, pre-game drills, and flexibility training techniques were closely examined, photographed and video taped for further study. In future blog posts, ASAP will share some of the findings observed by athletes trained under MSU's Ken Mannie, Mike Vorkapich, Tommy Hoke and Tim Wakeham. And those Buckeyes trained by Eric Lichter, Jeff Uhlenhake and Doug Davis.

ASAP:Football Players Developing Quickness & Burst for NFL Combine, College Pro Days

It's a busy time of the year for ASAP Director Ted Lambrinides. A multitude of college football players are prepping for Pro Days held on college campuses and of course, the NFL Combine which is held at the RCA Dome in Indianapolis, Indiana. Since Ted has been to several of the combines at Indy, he knows what the pro scouts and coaches are looking for and how to help his athletes best prepare. His long time association with professional NFL strength coaches gives ASAP~Athletic Strength And Power~ an obvious edge in athlete preparation. In fact, ten NFL strength coaches serve on the ASAP Advisory Board. In fact, just this afternoon, Jacksonville Jaguar strength coach Mark Asanovich stopped into The Workout @ Covington and discussed equipment and program design.
Two weeks ago, Ted was on the outskirts of Detroit, Michigan as he visited the new Allen Park facility, home of the Detroit Lions and assistant coach Kevin Tolbert. Coach Tolbert gave a full tour of the Allen Park expanse as the two were able to discuss the training of pro football players. Furthermore, Ted was able to test out some of the new strength training equipment employed by the Lions. Check out the ASAP Photo Album (found in the left hand column) for some pictures from the tour. Here's a couple of pics to get you started:
