There's something exciting going on in Lexington, Kentucky. Head Football Coach Joker Phillips and Strength Coaches Ray "ROCK" Oliver and Ted Lambrinides have created a new foundation for what has been termed 'OPERATION: WIN'. Things are paying off already! The Wildcats are on the move in the SEC Conference…where practically every week there's a BIGTIME foe. #6 Auburn needed a Heisman-like performance from their star quarterback to nip Kentucky as time expired. Then, UK answered the following Saturday with a comeback victory over #10 South Carolina, who had just knocked #1 Alabama from their throne. Here's an ASAP feature video on OPERATION: WIN

Athletic Strength And Power heads to field level for this ASAP Educational Series Performance Video. Head Strength Coach Mickey Marotti prepares this top ranked University of Florida football squad for a game against the Vanderbilt Commodores. Coach Marotti got his start at the Ohio State University… back in the mid-eighties. There he worked as a G.A. for the strength training program devised by present day ASAP Program Director Ted Lambrinides and former Head Strength Coach Steve Bliss. Later, Marotti played an instrumental role at the University of Cincinnati, where he served as head strength coach there. He also helped propel the Bearcats Basketball teams back to national prominence. Marotti began training basketball coach Bob Huggin's hoops team as if they were football players! The intensity was incredible…. and it showed on the court, where UC players were dominate…. and also top ranked!
Then, Mickey moved on to Notre Dame and instilled his hard nosed work ethic there, too. When Florida named Urban Meyer as their new football coach, Meyer sought out Marotti as the guy he "absolutely had to have" to train his Gators. Coach Marotti worked his trade at Florida…pushing his players, and demanding all out effort in the weight room. And, the system works. Two of college football's National Championships in three years…. and this season presently ranked #1 in the country. Congratulations Coach Marotti! Those championships were no accident.
On game day, along with his staff, Marotti becomes one of the top "get back" coaches in all the land. He is also an adviser to Coach Meyer as to the condition of players who have been dinged up during the game.This video depicts some behind the scenes looks at Coach Marotti at approximately 90 minutes prior to kick-off, as the Gators prepare.

Gassers
We recently conducted one of our Saturday morning training sessions.
These sessions are usually sprinkled with a blend of professional
(NFL), College (Ohio State, Purdue, Boston College, Ball State, etc)
and High School athletes. Many of these athletes, both men and women,
are elite and in exceptional physical condition. And furthermore, they
are presently on a strength training and conditioning program that’s
under the guidance of Ted Lambrinides PhD, Director of The Workout@Covington, just across the river from Cincinnati, Ohio in the shadows of Paul Brown Stadium.
The training sessions always begin with a Dynamic Warm-up. This would include many or all of the following exercises:
Half Speed 50yd jogs
Back Pedals 4x10yds
Three step walking Lunge w/twist 1x 15yds and return
3 step Squat grab back of ankles…repeat ….1x 15 yds and return
walking side lunge
walk 3 steps: hands to turf: alternate legs back as high as possible
Then,
we progress to the real deal…. the heart of the workout. The Interval
Training Segment. Don’t eat very much at all prior to attending these
sessions and bring plenty of chilled sports drinks!!

Here’s a sample of one of
the Saturday morning sessions at CovCath Football Stadium in Covington,
Kentucky. The training sessions are best done on a lined football field
and we prefer running on Field Turf, which is a very nice surface and
easy on the knees and other joints.
The training sessions have been designed to utilize the latest advances of exercise physiology….. and if performed regularly, can propel athletes to the next level.
On this particular training session we used what’s known as Gassers. A "Gasser" is
performed by starting on the sideline, sprinting across the field and
touching the opposite sideline with your foot…then returning to the
original sideline, touch that line with your foot and then repeat. One
Gasser is equal to approximately 213yds of building speed and then
decelerating. A Half Gasser is a sprint across the field and then back.
6x full gassers (1280yds)
9x half gassers (960yds)
10x 10yd backward runs (100yds)
shuffles
carioca
lunges
flexibility
agility ladder
3x 200 yd shuttles (down the field and back) 60 secs till next shuttle starts (600yds)
When?9:30am (arrive early for extra flexibility training)
