I'm just curious how the program is going to be any different than any other well thought out program integrating specific skill work and drills with strength training.
well being an ex-FB coach and player I know it takes a lot of off-field work to really excel at it.

It will be different being that the book is going to outline a yearly plan not only for individuals but it will be team ready for any football coach/S&C coach to put in place for his school/team right from the book. That way an individual player can use it on his own or a coach can use it for his entire team.

I know it will be about 150 pages in length which makes it a pretty comprehensive e-book on the subject.

I'm excited for its release.

Many HS football programs are horrible in their S&C work. when I coached, the school's strength coach had a program right out of a bodybuilding magazine; pec decs, leg extensions, tricep kickbacks, etc... I went into the gym, took it off the wall and ordered our players to not follow that but stick to the basics of barbell training. They went from 1-9 to 7-3 in one season. Its amazing what a solid program does for a young team.
