Synopsis

What does it really take to win in football? How can you turn apparent athletic mediocrity into an unstoppable force that can't stop winning? Why do God-given talents and genetic-freaks so often fail on the field to lesser mortals? How do you get the victory before you even step on the field? What fail-safe training method can churn out winners, year-in, year-out, with a staggering consistency? Enter the secret stealth weapon of modern football success, Coach Davies, who has helped high school, college and NFL teams to turn lead into gold -- and also-rans into number one -- with startling frequency. In this book, Coach Davies presents you with his full program for gridiron mastery. The physical programme itself cuts to the core of what really, really, really works-in-the-trenches to optimise on-the-field performance. Techniques run the gamut from cutting-edge Eastern European to tried-and-true traditional. It is all here, from rope-skipping, stretching, hurdling, sprint set-up and Olympic lifts to esoteric Russian Kettlebells, abs-work, ladder work, jumping, tumbling and cones. A goldmine of explicit charts and racks of photographs ensure your complete grasp of how to blow past your current athletic level and ratchet up to greatness.

About this title

About the Author:

Coach Davies develops comprehensive training packages for all facets and levels of football, from high school to college to the NFL. Internationally, Coach Davies has been acclaimed for his work with European and South America soccer teams.

His Renegade Training philosophy is controversial but has proved highly successful in application. According to Coach Davies: "The sheer brutality of my work is probably the reason why my work is so controversial. My approach to work thresholds is unquestionably the crux of arguments against my training philosophy. My athletes are constantly reminded of the relentless, violent nature of their sport and our training reflects that.

Football in its purest form can be simply explained as a sport played by enormous men, of tremendous strength at an alarmingly fast pace. You must prepare your body and mind for the battle ahead. Preparation quickly decides who are the victors and the vanquished. I do not merely ask a lot of my athletes, I ask more than they ever imagined."

Coach Davies instills a "warrior mindset" in his athletes. The result: a stand-out toughness capable of excelling in the controlled chaos and extreme stress of modern football. Physically, his athletes have consistently broken through past performance barriers to dramatically enhance their speed, strength and power.
