NFL Combine Preparation

Program Focus

The Combine Tests are the foundation of Zone AP’s combine program. Athletes are provided with the exact technical breakdown for all combine tests and drilled over and over throughout the programs duration until they are confident in their mastery over every test.

Running tests: 40 yard Dash, Pro-Agility (20 yd. Shuttle), L-Drill, 60 yard Shuttle. Key emphasis of instruction; proper running mechanics, starting position, specific testing technique.

Jumping tests: Vertical Jump and Broad Jump. Key emphasis of instruction; stance/starting position and proper jumping technique.

Strength/Conditioning

Zone AP’s combine strength and conditioning program is specifically designed to rapidly enhance several key components to ensure every athlete’s success.

Strength/Power: The ability to generate greater amounts force at a faster rate is critical for athletic dominance. Our program utilizes advanced strength training techniques to increase muscular strength and power in the major muscle groups involved in the combine testing.

Body Composition/Muscularity: The combination of our strength/conditioning program and nutritional strategies provides our athletes with the edge needed to pass the visual first impression. Aside from looking like an athlete, leaner athletes display a higher level of control and power production for their individual bodyweight.

Muscular Endurance: The NFL Combine/Pro day is exhausting physically and mentally. Performing a series of maximal effort testing followed by top speed position drills is a daunting task for even the greatest of athletic specimens. Our program focuses on increasing an athletes metabolic conditioning to improve recovery between displays of maximal effort ensuring they are able to perform every test to their full potential. Being able to perform well on one test means little if your unable recover in time for the next test.

Mobility/Flexibility

Our combine program focuses on improving the mobility and flexibility of the major joint and soft tissues of the body. This not only improves athletic performance, but also dramatically reduces an athlete’s risk for non-contact injuries to the joints and soft tissues. Our program utilizes the latest techniques in self-myofacial release, band assisted stretching, and functional range of motion assessment by our Chiropractor/ART specialist.

Nutritional/Supplement Strategies

Every combine athlete will receive a nutritional/supplement strategy custom designed to meet their individual weight and body composition goals. At Zone we know how vital proper nutrition is to a long career of athletic success, this is why we educate all of our athletes on proper eating habits. Our nutritional strategies are designed to increase performance through; increasing muscle mass, decreasing body fat, improving recovery between workouts, and supporting an athlete’s metabolic demands from strenuous training.

Our supplement protocols are designed to increase recovery and support energy levels during training. All supplements utilized have been pre-screened for banned substances and are manufactured in a NSF certified facility.

Zone AP Difference

Quality over quantity; to ensure the highest rate of success we limit our combine class to 20 athletes. All athletes receive the highest level of coaching regardless of draft projection. We are results driven training facility with a blue collar work ethic, we are not a training resort here to cater and pamper our athletes.
