I still can ride my bike!

Hello everyone,

First thanks for taking time to read my blog entries and continue to follow my progress.

So, its randomly selected if you don't subscribe.

Now to business! Yesterday a few of my "Pupils" and a former teammate got together and competed against each other in some 1 on 1 coverage drills. Me and My former teammate are getting ready for an Arena Football League Combine in January in which I will showcase my athletic ability, as well as, the experience and knowledge I've picked up in the last 3 seasons playing in the lower level Arena Football Leagues. Needless to say though I have only been seriously running again for a week my speed was amazing. As for my coverage skills thats like riding a bike for me and I never forgot how to ride a bike!!! I covered well, ran routes well and most of all I still had a lot of fun doing it. I feel like I'm 21!!! Just image how good of shape I'll be in January. So stay tuned!

I had a really productive day and most of you all know my goals, but as I get older (28 puts me out of NFL entry level age, but still entry level age for the top paying Arena football league)those goals are slowly fading. Its almost a case of NOW or NEVER. I've put up good numbers the past three seasons and have played with former NFL, CFL, AFL players and haven't had any trouble holding my own but now its my time to shine!

Thanks for the continued support and subscribe to my blog!

New week next phase!

Alright for the past 5 weeks I haven't been doing as much running. Focusing more on getting stronger and maintaing weight. I did actually miss about 2 1/2 weeks due to some personal issues but I got back on track and finished strong. The next 6 weeks will consist of quicker weightroom workouts rest times of only 45secs in between sets and more focus on the athletic aspect of football running, cutting, jumping etc. So my weight was 183 today and I still want to take that up to 190 while doing more running. It's going to be hard but theres a saying that goes, "Anything worth having is worth working hard for." I'd like to think my goals are worth having so I'm willing to work hard for them.

Head banger!!!

Today was a rough day! After hanging out all night though I shouldn't have I got my workout in that I missed yesterday afternoon. Training and Drinking really do not mix! Well I'm tired and have a headache so this will be all for today.

Determination

I left the gym last night at 11:30pm. Now that may not sound too bad, but I want to go a little deeper into what one of my days are like. First off I work a full time job from 8am-330pm. Next, I go to a part time job from 430pm-9pm. Then last night I got to the gym at 10pm and got my workout in until 11:30pm. I was in bed by 12:30am and up at 6:30am to do it all over again! So, do you have to want it bad??? Yes, you have to want it real bad. Because I'm just like any other person in this world that works to pay their bills only I have to stay in elite shape as well while doing it. I would describe it as being focused and never giving up on your dream! If you see something within your grasp it's kind of hard to just let it slip away.

Im sore!!!

My legs feel like hell right now! My warm up yesterday was 18mins of jumping rope, yes the WARM-UP! Then 4 sets of 25 sec plyometric jumps....whew!!! Can you say ice bath??? Hey, you got to do what the competition isn't in order to make it right. I gotta make my goal of playing in the AFL a reality and I have to make it happen quick. How do you feel about that? Any comments or suggestions?
