Summer Training for Football Players
I got such a good response from my recent ‘Top 5 Summer Training Tips’ article geared toward track sprinters, I thought to myself:
“I need to do something for football coaches/players since right now is primetime for football training.”
Football is far too competitive to go into this season doing the same old workouts you did last year.
So I called my good friend Duane Carlisle, Head Strength and Conditioning Coach of the San Francisco 49ers. Duane is clearly at the top of the industry and one of the smartest guys I know.
I recorded our call on training, especially during the summer. So before you do another workout or do any more work planning your season, listen to this interview:

To your success,
