After A Great Conversation with @CoachKruse62 and a visit earlier this year I’m blessed to receive my first collegiate offer from @Firebirds_FB!

Grateful for how welcoming the @meteavalley community and @MeteaValleyFB program have been since my transfer.
The relationships, competition, and daily work have pushed me to grow both as a QB and as a teammate. Excited for what’s ahead of us. @MeteaAthletics @CoachSheehan12 @Midway8Monster @NickSyron @CoachJuarez_ #Family

We have some very sneaky talent that I know can play college football and be very good for programs. Hit me up if you are looking for kids training the right way and are talented.

I’m pumped for this season.

Velocity and power output of the bar is far MORE IMPORTANT than ego lifting and moving the bar slow !

[Josh Bryant @joshstrength]

Division 1 football players training in a compensatory acceleration style (CAT) upper body strength regimen were compared to a traditional regimen in their off-season. The CAT group was instructed to perform the positive rep as explosively as possible. The traditional group performed repetitions at a traditional tempo.

At the end of both off-season training programs, both power and strength were assessed. Power was tested with a seated medicine ball throw and a force platform plyometric push-up test. Strength was assessed by a one rep max in the bench press.

Both groups increased strength and power. The group that trained in a Compensatory Acceleration Training (CAT) style improved their bench press by nearly double the amount of the traditional group. Average power, as expected, increased significantly more in the group that trained explosively.

Jones, K. K., Hunter, G. G., Fleisig, G. G., Escamilla, R. R., & Lemak, L. L. (1999). The effects of compensatory acceleration on upper-body strength and power in collegiate football players. Journal of Strength & Conditioning Research (Allen Press Publishing Services Inc.), 13(2), 99-105.

Practical Application

Fred Hatfield was ahead of his time advocating Compensatory Acceleration Training. It is simply superior! Training adaptations are not just a result of weight on the bar. Adaptations from training are a byproduct of tension and duration. You respond to how much force produced, how fast the force was produced, how long you produced it, and how many times you produced it. Force=mass x acceleration. More tension is result of greater bar speed. Maximal strength training and power adaptations can result from lifting weights with maximal force; one more reason to compensatorily accelerate weights.

“The power of 12 as 1 is real.
Synergy.
People buying in - doing it together.
We don’t have a bunch of superstars.
We are just a really good football team that’s tough and connected.”

When a team plays for each other NOT just with each other, that’s when greatness happens.

Any college/university on the road stopping by the Naperville/Aurora area to meet upcoming seniors/juniors.

Hit me up. We got talent that’s not so young anymore!
And a core that knows how to work.

Toughness, Effort and Character makes a difference.

Not sure if I’ve ever gotten this emotional watching a commercial before

The conversations, the memories, the music

It all broke me

Thank you for making me cry today, Chevrolet

Pressure doesn’t create mistakes.
It reveals what you practiced.
Your talent doesn’t take over.
Your standard does.
And if your standard is “sometimes,” that’s what you’ll be when it matters.
We do what we trained.

The difference is the relentless effort you decide to give for your team.

I was lucky enough to play for Coach Winter AND Coach Willis. Both second to none in how they lead a TEAM !
Go find out for yourself…
