  • Ohio State Football Weightroom Video Tour 2013


    IMG_4303ASAP Director of Video Production, Ed Cicale recently revisited Ohio State Buckeye Associate Director of Football Strength And Conditioning, Rick Court and Assistant A.D. for Football Sports Performance, Mickey Marotti. On this visit, the focus was on the upgrades and changes to the football training center located within The Woody Hayes Athletic Center. Slowly, they have been making big changes in the Buckeye weightroom…which , logistically, isn't the easiest thing to pull off while trying to train one of the top teams in all of college football. However, they've managed!

    The training center rivals any weight training center in the world… and is certainly a plus for any recruit who takes major college football and physical training seriously. So take a look at the video and find out what's been going on in "C-bus"

    Strength Clinic


    March 1st & 2nd

    ASAP colleagues Dave Lawson (Director of Football Strength & Conditioning) and Mike Szerszen (Associate Strength Coach) are settling in down in Knoxville, Tennessee. In fact, they are ready to have their first Strength Clinic.

    Lawson and Szerszen are all part of the big change that took place in Tennessee Volunteer Country during the college football off-season. Both coaches came south with newly selected Head Football Coach, Butch Jones.  The new football coach made sure to bring along Dave Lawson to oversee the Vols' strength training routines, as they try to make Tennessee Football relevant, once again. The expectations are high in Knoxville, where their Volunteers have not claimed a National Championship since 1998. Fans pour into Neyland Stadium…over 102,455 fans! And they're hungry for an SEC Crown!

    ImagesCoach Lawson and staff chiseled out some impressive players with their demanding and challenging workouts during their tenure at The University of Cincinnati. But now, the bar has been raised and every week's game can present a formidable opponent. Like next season, the Vols will be heading to Eugene, Oregon for a game against the Ducks…. then they'll head back to SEC Country for the typical match-ups of Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, and, of course, Alabama! Throw in a few more SEC games on top of those!

    So, now's your chance to get in at the ground level and learn about this exciting and rigorous training program that will no doubt have the Vols ready to go toe-to-toe with anyone in 2013.

    IMG_0408rev

This is the 6th Annual clinic that they have held. There's a reason that Coaches Ken Mannie and Mike Vorkapich keep having this clinic: It's popular and a SUCCESS. The Michigan State Strength program is well known from coast to coast and Mannie, Vorkapich, Tommy Hoke and the rest of the staff perpare the Spartans for championships. Players develop rapidly there. In fact, almost too fast as quite a few Michigan State players have opted out of their collegiate eligibility as Spartans to pursue professional careers…. physically and skillwise…ready to make the transition.


    IMG_0286Now's your chance to check out the program from the front row seats! Soak in one of the truly top training centers in all of college football and basketball. Take note of the specialized equipment that they use, learn strength training from many of the master coaches and lecturers in the business, and, of course, catch Coach Mannie in action.

  • Dr Ken Leistner training…… trivia question.

    IMG_4119You may have been at this University of Toledo "Rocket Power" Strength Clinic back in the early 90's. If you were there, you saw then strength coach Ken Mannie, (who's now at Michigan State), Pittsburgh Steelers strength coach Chet Fuhrman and Dr. Ken Leistner take some athletes through some serious and strenuous workouts.

    Dr. Ken took one particular athlete through a workout that he even had the "kid" shoving a dumbell around on the weightroom floor… and at the point of collapse!
    Reminder: Michigan State Football Strength Clinic will be February 8/9th 2013

    Study the photos and see if you can name the athlete depicted

  • Detroit Lions 2013 Strength & Conditioning Clinic


    Detroit_lionsI just got word from Detroit Lions’ Asst Strength Coach Ted Rath about their upcoming strength and conditioning clinic.  It’s the Third Annual Detroit Lions Strength & Conditioning Clinic and it will take place at their Allen Park training facilty in Michigan on Saturday March 2nd, 2013.
    Click on the Detroit Lions’ Logo for the official flyer and information on this clinic.

    I have been to the previous two clinics and they were conducted very professionally. The clinic format that they use is very smooth and it’s also a great chance to see one of the top notch NFL training facilities.  Head Strength Coach Jason Arapoff, 
    Arapoff-jason-hs10who is in his twelfth season with the Detroit Lions, makes sure that everything is organized and that the clinic runs efficiently. And, with Coach Ted Rath
    Rath-ted-hs10 on hand, the clinic is sure to be energetic and enthusiastic.

    So, if you’re a coach…and really of any sport, this is an event that you may want to add to your professional development calendar right away! See you there…..
