As a lot of you know I'm a big advocate of utilizing unique movements and games to help me determine who ought to play what positions in addition to aid the athletic advancement and conditioning of my players. One of the finest video games for doing this is the Deer Hunter video game. Last weekend at my Coaches Clinic in Boston, a youth coach that has used the "Winning Youth Football" system shared with me his twist on my version of this game.
This one's a bit various than a lot of are used to. It's a fantastic way to thicken the traps, build the upper back, and utilize Sandbags as an explosive motion, again teaching the transfer of power from the ground up. But, unlike the traditional High Pull, this variation saves the shoulders. As someone who constantly had shoulder pain while doing High Pulls, this variation has permitted me to do the movement pain complimentary. This is an ideal football strength exercise.
Many colleges have low recruiting budgets, so if you're initializing the contact with the football positions programs yourself, you're making it simple (and cost reliable) for them to learn more about you.
The only issue is, if you are a bigger professional athlete or you are utilizing heavy sandbags, it can become hard to efficiently hold the bag in the Zercher position. By including chains or bands, you can use a smaller sized bag however work the legs and back even harder. Plus, anytime you use chains and or bands, you are using accommodating resistance, and this is always good for professional athletes (teaches acceleration).
Even if you do not end up with a football scholarship, the better your grades and test scores, the better your possibilities are of landing some type of academic-based striker scholarship to help you survive college.
When you understand the rules of your league then you can start researching gamers. If you remain in a PPR league rather of Googling "2010 Fantasy Football Rankings" try searching for "2010 Fantasy Football PPR rankings". Also use sound judgment, if you remain in a league that has a focus on a specific skill set/position, then players that bring that to the table will rise in value.
