Engineering Better NFL Athletes

[Jorge Carvajal @carvperformance]

You are totally replaceable at your coaching job. You are NOT replaceable at home. Remember that perspective when you’re thinking about “balance”.

@thequeenofrust I’m so sorry 🙏🏻

[Jorge Carvajal @carvperformance]

@thequeenofrust The true, haunting burden of conflict is carried by those who survive it—humbled by a gut-wrenching truth that no romantic history book can ever capture, at least not like these notes did.

[Jorge Carvajal @carvperformance]

@CoryRAanalytics Fair point on the Power 4 sample size — that’s the main hesitation.

I think they’ll be some projection off the traits versus waiting for more high-level snaps + more football to be played = a better sample.

[Jorge Carvajal @carvperformance]

Two standouts beyond the physical tools—1. patient, high-level mental processing and 2. arm arrogance—his whip-like release on difficult off platform throws—including those 35+ yards into tight coverage from the opposite hash is for me next level.

I do love Mensah tho—extremely precise, high-efficiency, and he doesn’t hunt the big, difficult throws — he just consistently puts the ball where it needs to be.

@CoachDanCasey I can also remember staying up late to watch that Hawai'i offense—June Jones and Colt Brennan were special! 🌈

@CoachRC23 The ability to pivot in those moments is everything—not many can do that.

[Jorge Carvajal @carvperformance]

When you’re doing your change of direction (COD) training—

Remember…

In a real game, you will never see a plastic cone trying to tackle a player. Your eyes are locked on a defender’s hips, their torso, and their angle of approach.

Players don’t react to cones—they react to other players.

Introduce the Human Variable— the chaos they have to solve.

99 OVR change of direction 🕹️

[Jorge Carvajal @carvperformance]

@camgalganoGPS @SHREDmillSpeed Same—never regretted it and that model has always worked for us.

[Jorge Carvajal @carvperformance]

We believe in a Constraints Led Approach (CLA), where the environment (time/space) are variables that are manipulated using a human element and not just doing cone drills.

It’s more realistic of the problem solving athletes will face game time.

Mirror Drill
Cat & Mouse Drill
Small Sided Games

We’ll use cones to build/reinforce biomechanics/ isolate footwork/practice eccentric deceleration prior to transitioning into COD.

[Jorge Carvajal @carvperformance]

I LOVE speed development but change of direction (COD) training is a game changer!!
