🗣️Attention Athletes (especially you 2026 NFL Draft eligible prospects)

BE SPRINTING!!

With NFL Rookie Minicamps coming up soon after this weekend’s draft you should be sprinting @ or near max speed 1-2 times per week.

I despise fear mongering on social media but the truth is, for a late-round or UDFA guy, a hamstring injury early in camp can be a death sentence for their playing career.

The best way to lessen that risk? Sprinting.

A retrospective analysis published in 2023 (PMID: 37867737) correlated consistent near-max sprinting exposure with a significant reduction in hamstring injury risk.
In fact, out of the 600+ players under observation, those who reached 95% (or higher) of their recorded maximum speed 2 days before a game had 0 instances of hamstring strains.

For most 🏈 players that 95% threshold is likely in the ~20-22.3 MPH range. If you don’t have access to GPS I highly suggest using laser timers to performed 10-yard Flys, simply set them up (at approximately hip height) 10-yards apart and give yourself 20-30 yards to get up to top speed before gate 1.

The following chart will tell you the time to speed achieved;
0.91 = 22.48
0.92 = 22.23
0.93 = 22
0.94 = 21.8
0.95 = 21.54
0.96 = 21.32
0.97 = 21.1
0.98 = 20.87
0.99 = 20.66
1.00 = 20.45
1.01 = 20.25
1.02 = 20.05
1.03 = 19.86

Kharkiv region, Ukraine.

A baby in a stroller. Murdered today by russian terrorists.

Let that sink in.

We don’t hate russia and those who enable its terror nearly enough.

Thank you Lord! Thank you everyone who’s helped me this far, Go Mavs! 🤘

[Coach Swit @CoachSwit]

It seems like 90% of pitching instructors advertise teaching kids how to throw harder, while only 10% focus on teaching them how to throw strikes.

Actually, I can’t remember the last time I saw an AD from a pitching instructor saying, “I’ll teach your kid how to throw strikes.”

[Joseph Potts @TopSpeedLLC]

That “it” is excellent eyesight/saccadic processing speed. 👁️+🧠

[Coach Swit @CoachSwit]

One thing I’ve learned over my coaching career: Hitters hit.

I’ve seen tons of kids grind in the cage every day but struggle in games year after year. Then I’ve seen guys who don’t put in nearly as much work but can flat-out hit.

Hard work matters, but some guys just have it.

I know @masonstein_ is being looked at as a college baseball prospect but with the 🏈highlights, and plays like this, I won’t be surprised if some college teams come calling.

A day later, this is a done deal. The #Chargers are bringing back WR/returner Luke Grimm to the practice squad.

Guess I had to be faster to beat his — checks notes — speed coach 🏃🏻💨 to this one.

[Joseph Potts @TopSpeedLLC]

@MikeGarafolo To be fair I had a head start 😉
