The Combine is here and I am feeling ready. All the sacrifices that have been made through these last few months have all been preparing for this weekend. It has been filled with a strict nutrition plan, and countless hours on the field and in the gym. With Larry’s Combine prep program I feel that I am as prepared as I could be. This last week in Burlington, was the final preparation in order to get ready for the combine. It was focused primarily on technique and making sure my body is primed for this weekend. With The help of Larry, the SST Burlington team, and Steve Bodanis they have prepared me for success and I am looking forward to an exciting weekend in Toronto.

Over the past 10 weeks I’ve had the unbelievable pleasure of working with Canada’s top training facility, Sports Specific Training. Not only have I had the pleasure of training with some of the top athletes in Canada, but I’ve been fortunate enough to have worked and coached alongside Larry Jusdanis and his amazing team including Steve Bodanis, John Blair, Dave McDowell and Sean Stewart. Over the past 10 weeks we’ve seen tremendous improvements in my physical shape and strength, which has significantly helped me prepare for the individual tests and on field work that will take place the combine. Choosing to stay in Burlington and train here wasn’t easy but I knew if I wanted to continue to chase my dream of playing at the next level and having an impact at the next level, that this is where I had to be. As my combine training comes to an end, I would like to thank Larry and Steve and SST for the time and effort they put in with me trying to prepare me for this huge event. I’m ready and I’m beyond excited for this incredible opportunity. LETS GO!

My game was elevated when first introduced by QB Canada in 2012. I was able to progress as a Quarterback not with just my mechanics but more importantly my decision making.
Top NCAA Quarterback
My game was elevated when first introduced by QB Canada in 2012. I was able to progress as a Quarterback not with just my mechanics but more importantly my decision making. Focusing on game like situations, I was challenged to improve my footwork, throwing on the run, and pocket presence. Coaches demonstrated defenses that I saw in both Summer and High School Football, and I was able to react quicker with the proper timing on throws. The element about working with QB Canada that stands out to me was including the why. I learned why I needed to do a certain task, and I was able to apply this knowledge to my game. QB Canada has made me a better player.
