TFC-2020
20 Presenters (recordings available 24/7)
20 days (Dec 2 – Dec 22)
20 Zoom Interviews (live AND recorded)

#1 GET OUT OF YOUR BUBBLE

Definition of “CONSORTIUM”: an alliance, partnership, or coalition of people pooling resources for a common goal. What’s the common goal of TFC? IMPROVING THE SPEED AND EXPLOSIVE POWER OF OUR ATHLETES. TFC-2020 features sprint scientists, sprint coaches, and powerlifters. We feature high school coaches working in the trenches of football and track. We feature people from the performance side of track, football, rugby, Australian Rules Football, and soccer. We have some of the most famous S&C people in the world including Cal Dietz, Michael Boyle, and Keir Wenham-Flatt. No clinic has ever brought together the likes of world-renowned sprint scientists, Jonas Dodoo, Boo Schexnayder, and Dr. Ken Clark.

Who attends the Track Football Consortium?

75% are high school coaches
75% are football coaches
75% are track coaches
75% are weight room coaches

Many coaches fit into all four categories.

#2 MCCAFFREY AND MAHOMES

Who are the best two football players on the planet? The most popular answer is probably Christian McCaffrey and Patrick Mahomes. Who trains McCaffrey and Mahomes in the off-season? TFC has both. Brian Kula and Bobby Stroupe will be featured presenters.

#3 VERIFIED TIMES = TRACK TIMES

Tracking Football is now the gold standard for providing college and NFL teams verified speed metrics. Gone are the days of hand-held 40 times provided by amateurs. Mark Branstad of Tracking Football reports, “Make no mistake, D1 football coaches and recruiting coordinators we’ve met and spoken to ALL say they prefer multi-sport athletes over specialization. They ALL say they look at track data on recruits and discuss how it equates to football.” Tracking Football will be one of our presenters.

In the great state of Texas, 74% of scholarship football players also ran track.

Explosive power and speed are common threads of both football AND track. Chris Korfist and I have led a campaign to merge the two sports into a year-round training program where both sports benefit.

#4 STOP DOING SH*T THAT MAKES YOUR TEAM SLOW

Football coaches get an A+ when it comes to the *love* of speed. However, they get a C- when it comes to maintaining speed through the football season. Worse yet, they receive a failing grade when it comes to improving speed. Learn how to approach speed as a skill, not just a genetic trait. Racehorses > Workhorses.

“Too often, I see coaches overemphasizing conditioning during the offseason and never developing absolute capacities of strength, power, and speed. In particular, a common mistake is to attack repeat sprint ability when you have never truly developed speed and thus sprint ability itself.” ~Josh Bonhotal, Purdue Basketball, TFC-4 presenter.

High-volume fitness sessions are not sprint workouts. Focusing on weights and conditioning will never maximize speed. Sprint programs must be based on SPRINTING. Feed the cats!

#5 SPEED IS THE TIDE THAT LIFTS ALL BOATS

When you make absolute speed (maximum speed) your priority in training, it’s win-win. Weight room numbers will go up because strength is CNS-driven. Acceleration improves. Agility improves.

When you focus on aerobic fitness and sprint capacity, speed does NOT improve. Weight room numbers are unaffected. Acceleration becomes stagnant. Agility stays the same.

As a bonus, speed creates endurance. If you can run 23 mph, you can run 19 mph all day long. Fast players are fast in the 4th quarter. Slow guys are inefficient at moving and will fatigue quickly, regardless of how well-conditioned they are.
