Roy Holmes - Preparing to Succeed in Professional Football

There are only 32 teams in the National Football League; each team maintains an active roster of 55 players with 14 more individuals on the practice squad for a total of 69. This means that of all of the athletes who have ever played football at the high school or college level there are only 2,208 positions available at the professional level. Earning a spot on a professional football team takes a tremendous amount of innate athletic ability, years of hard work and practice and finally, impressing decision makers at the annual scouting combine where coaches have an opportunity to meet with players and put them through a battery of mental and physical tests. College players who hope to matriculate to the professional level have to impress the scouts and coaches at the combine, and in order to prepare, many work with conditioning facilities like Exos to look their best for the opportunity. Exos is an organization that provides fitness solutions for all types of clients from corporate wellness centers to military special operators. While Exos serves many clients, the organization specializes in helping elite athletes prepare to compete at the highest levels of their respective sports. Roy Holmes is a Performance Manager at the Exos facility in Carlsbad, CA and runs the draft academy program that helps college football players prepare to play in the NFL. On this episode of All About Fitness, Coach Holmes talks about how an athlete can prepare to earn a scholarship, the types of training that goes into preparing for the combine and, most importantly, how you can apply the lessons of the pros to your own life so that you can achieve your highest level of performance.
