Charlie and Football

@Charlie_Francis

Yes, it makes it tough. And, while you’re worrying about that, you also have to worry about the trainers outside who don’t worry enough!

Its funny because i was speaking to coach at a top 3 football school, and he said they dont train speed much bc most of speed is genetics and over 3-4yrs how much improvement will they really make instead he will focus more on the strength and explosive power development along with conditioning. A typical week for them last summer was:

mon: weights and conditioining
tue: long dym warmup
wed: weights and karate or easy warmup
thur: speed and agility
fri: weights and conditioning

summer before this they would keep m-w-f the same but do speed and agility on tue and thur but he said they had a problem with overuse injuries etc - i just laugh when he said this.

Charlie, what place did tempo have in the training of your NFL guys? From what I have read, Dan Pfaff put Romanowski through workouts very similar to Bailey’s.

I want to hear CF answer also, but i remember when CF came to detriot to help bert hill with his program, i assume he had a major impact with the program bc bert include alot of cf tempo stuff into his workouts.
