“We now use this program with every player as a pre-test and evaluation tool before we even begin to train them. This individualizes our training as we can now focus more on improving weaknesses, imbalances and asymmetries in an effort to improve functional
movement patterns. Not only that, it's an integral part of our program; rehabilitating injuries, decisions on return to play, and it's a test before training camp that tells us if has the player improved and if we should feel good about putting him on the
field.”Jon Torine - Former Head Strength Coach, Indianapolis Colts
