      ​@davidmitchell967 Walter Payton was a much better over all RB than both or anyone else. But I must say all three probably have the best balance out of anyone else in NFL history.

      I found that you can progress up from these exercises, but you have to start with balance first and mastering control. Y'all just do not want to try. Even he and Alvin said they were progressively increasing these exercises, starting with basic balance drills.

      He stood out (visually) at the combine. Most athletic looking guy there. His college videos showed pro athleticism. He would of gone higher in the draft, but his stats weren't all that. Had injuries, but also flashing red light was he couldn't get along with Nick Saban. So, what happened in Vegas this last weekend was known back then. He showed signs of some of that. I'm sure this guy in the video helped him be a little better.

    • @jetmirkorani852
      @jetmirkorani852 5 років тому +64

      Bcs NFL lives from the hipe, and the first rounders are always hiped more than the second rounders. Plus watching the draft is boring, unless it's the first 2 rounds. Those are the main reasons.
      Brady was pick nr.199 ; Richard Sherman was a 5th round pick. My point is there is always talent, despite the draft round. Most people (I mean fans) just don't bother to go look for it.

      It really depends on what position group. You can always find Gems at Running Back after the 1st Round..... elite Pass Rushers, Tight Ends or Left Tackles? Almost never unless they come from a very small school and played against inferior competition in College so it's harder to assess how good they actually are, especially if the player isn't a "Senior Bowl" participant

    Here is you next level challenges Alvin:
    - line up 5-10 half spheres flat side up, in a line and single legs hop from one to another
    - repeat this time catching and throwing back at each jump, timing the throw and catch as soon as you jump
    - repeat this time with staggered half spheres
    - repeat alternating legs
    - go to a room with a high ceiling and stand on your half sphere flat side down, jump squat while high pointing and catching a football or what ever
    - repeat using only a single leg
    - introduce another half sphere flat side down and jump squat between the two, still high pointing while catching
    For added benefits, do a full leg workout prior to any of these exercises. That way you have to do the balancing and explosion with greater emphasis on the weaker muscles as the greater muscles will already be taxed and tired. Maybe wear you helmet for safety. ha

    The saints will win the super bowl. Here’s why. There a great team. Top 3 in the league as far as overall talent. Also. These boys have something to prove. After the NFC Championship last year. I predict the super bowl to be saints vs ravens. Saints win 27-24

    You could also: 1). Close one eye. 2). Stand one leg. 3). Turn his head to one side and the other....

    2:00 listen up trainers. Get your clients to do stuff they don't think they can do but having said that dont neglect to build the foundation. Don't be all gimmick but challenge the limits of their beliefs.

    If I had to do that first thing i think even if I could balance up on that ball I’d still panic and fall

    balancing your body weight on that exercise ball can be extremely dangerous, all it takes is one slip. goes to show you the incredible balance it takes. I have a hard enough time balancing with my knees on the ball
