Okay, okay! I know! I haven’t written in a month! But give a guy a break would’ya? I’ve been busy working on LinemenInc 2005. You want the best camp possible, right? You want the best coaches possible, right? Hey, I know you want the best food possible!
This year’s camp, in a word, is gonna be awesome. I mean, have you looked at our
line-up of college coaches? Jim House, who is also doing our D-line coach’s clinic again this year. Darrel Funk who will be taking on the duties of the O-line coach’s clinic. Jim Michalczik, Jeff Hammerschmidt, Rob Gatrell, Matt Diskin, Rich James and Preston Walrath! These guys are some of the best and insure that players and coaches alike are going to learn a ton.
When a football player is being physically evaluated, especially a lineman, there are three areas of concern: size, strength and speed. As for size, well, whatever the good Lord gave you is what you get, work with it. Strength, however, is always in your control. More time in the weight room, a proper program and proper diet to assist in muscle recovery and growth and anyone can get stronger. Speed on the other hand has to be carefully and skillfully developed.
Who says you have to have been born with speed? First of all, we’re taking about linemen here not those front running; put my picture in the paper, running back guys. I said linemen! The last of the gladiators! The guys who are doing the fighting up close and personal. A lineman’s speed is a whole other thing gentlemen. To that end, LinemenInc is proud to announce that Aaron Thigpen, a performance-training specialist for the past 17 years, will be joining us this June. Aaron, a world class sprinter, has participated on 11 U.S. National Track and Field Teams, been ranked as high as number two in the nation and fifth in the world, brings an outstanding ability to get linemen up and moving. He has previously trained such notable NFL linemen as Junior Siavii, Kansas City Chiefs, Dwan Edwards, Baltimore Ravens, Martin Harrison, Minnesota Vikings, and Josh Taves, Oakland Raiders.
