Coach

Kyle Donsberger

This program is tailored to help you perform your best at any football combine. There are drills specific to working on developing power, speed and acceleration. You will also have drills working on change of direction. This program is developed from the ground up so that anyone can try this out and have success, even if you've never trained before. There is are 2 weeks of foundation building, working on running mechanics and developing more power. Then it moves into more acceleration and change of direction based for 2 weeks, before finishing with flat out speed and some more change of direction to make sure you are primed and ready to go. The focus of this program is to develop your foundation as an athlete so when you go into combine testing you feel ready to absolutely destroy it. All exercises and drills have videos and performance points to ensure that you feel comfortable and confident in what you are trying to do.

Become more explosive

This program has power focused days to work on improving that explosive power heading into the combine testing. The sole focus of these days is to work on becoming more explosive and refining technique so you feel as confident as you ever have. We focus on building coordination and raw power before we tighten things up and work on moving explosively as we get closer to the D-Date

Become Faster

We take a three pronged approach when working on you becoming faster. We start by focusing on foundational running mechanics in the first 2 weeks to make sure you dial in the basics. Then we have a track work day every week where we are focused on improving mechanics at higher speed so you can transfer what you learned in the drills. From there we attack both initial acceleration & top speed.

Improve Your Change of Direction

Anyone can change direction but our focus is on changing direction quickly. The key with change of direction is positioning yourself so you can explode out of the change which we teach in this program through various drills and exercises. We want to improve your coordination and balance so that you can get in and out of change of directions significantly faster.

Prep

Dynamic Warm-up

Skipping/Jogging 3:00-5:00 - skipping is preferable to build up foot and ankle stability Foam Roll 3:00 (if possible) - target 2-3 sore areas Arm Circles 20m (forward and back) Arm Crosses 20m Grass Sweeps 20m Forward and Side Bends 3x5 Side Lunge 2x10s each side Heel/Toe Rocks 2x10 - We want to work on building up ankle stability so we start as high as we can on the toes and rock back to the heels, lifting the toes up as high as we can. We want to make sure we stay balanced and increase range of motion with every rep if we can. Heel/Toe Walks 2x10m - We want to keep working on ankle stability so with the walks we want to go through the maximal range of motion that we can. On the way back we are going to be going backwards working from the toes to the heel, really work on keeping your balance. Going backwards works to help disperse forces through the foot and builds up foot and ankle strength. Bucket Holds 2x10s - Bucket Holds are great to work on getting in a nice, tall position for sprint work. We really want to focus on stretching as tall as we can and pushing that foot into the ground to feel taller. Keep the chest open and use the hip flexor to hold the knee up at 90 degrees. We want to avoid any crunching from the abs trying to help lift the knee. Hold for about 10 seconds feeling everything stretch tall. Bucket Switches 2x10 - Bucket Switches is a progression from the holds and adds a stability element, as well as a coordination factor. We want to get in that nice, tall position and then we drive the foot down and bring the other knee up. We want to think aggressive switch.

Good Pace Session

Focus on technical running form Do 2 sets of the good pace session: GP/PU/FR/F GP/PU/FR/F Good Pace (GP) = a step above a stride (65% speed), focus on 3 technical cues (ex. high knees, long stride, stay tall) Pick Up = a step above GP (75-80% speed), focus on 2 most important technical cues (ex. long stride, stay tall) Fast Relaxed = a step below full speed (90% speed), focus on most important technical cue (ex. long stride) Fast = full speed, be aware of what is breaking down (ex. stride length shortens) but consciously focus on moving at full speed

FAQs

How will this make me faster?

By focusing on building up mechanics and coordination, your speed will improve dramatically just from moving more efficiently. On top of this we are going to make you more explosive which adds force applied into the ground and helps you move quicker.

How do I know this is going to work?

These are the same exercises I use with my junior & university football athletes where they have seen great results. I also implement these exercises in my personal training & have seen increases in each area of physical testing in my annual performance testing for Canada Skeleton.

Why choose you?

I have worked with a lot of football players and helped them reach the next level. My attention to detail and focus on mechanics achieves astounding results. If you focus on how you move and utilize the video instruction in each of these exercises I have no doubt you will see improvement.
