Strength Testing Video from Nebraska Athletic Performance Lab

Recommended Posts



I'll never forget attending Boyd Eppley's speed camp in the summer of '01 after the football camp. Grouped together, Boyd asks all the guys "what kind of conditioning do you guys do?". And he got the answers he expected. 44's. 350's 300 yard shuttles. gassers. Etc ETc ETC. And he says "youre coaches are dumb. There's no reason for long distance running. how many times in a football game are you going to run 300 yards?"

 

So i goes back home to conditioning at school a couple days later and tell our strength coach/DC (and he played college ball at kansas St mind you) Boyd Epley says we dont need to do any distance running. All agility and short burst takeoff stuff. he says "i dont give a f#*k what Boyd Epley says". My response was "I bet your buddy Snyder would beg to differ". Well, that got me an extra shuttle that night. LOL. Just a little story I wanted to share.

Nebraska Football@HuskerFBNation 3m3 minutes agoGet an inside look at the #Huskers testing inside the Nebraska Athletic Performance Lab. http://snpy.tv/1CQSSI7 cd82c2925fb7c4fb793fb82edcc2d057_normal.Nebraska Huskers Playproxy.jpg?t=HBhQaHR0cDovL21lZGlhLnNuYXBw

Boyd Epley is back!!! :power

 

Just the pure fact that he was involved with this testing has to make all Husker fans smile. I guarantee you that the players will be in much better "football shape" come this Spring than they have been for quite some time.

M Rose's dad knows what's up.

The staff focusing on the important tests (pro agility, vertical & 10yrd dash) & NOT the overrated 40yrd dash #GBR

So awesome. Thanks for sharing that Mav. Wicked look inside what these guys mindset is.

 

I couldn't agree more with what Rose Sr. said. Focus on the short burst speed and power testing. That's the game of football. This isn't track.

 

Boyd Epley is a legend. That new S & C coach looks like a big son of a gun. I hope he works these kids hard, but not just hard work, smart work too. It looks like an all around good situation.

You may recall the NAPL being a big part of the East Stadium expansion project that opened in 2013. In year one, if Husker football used it much if at all the school didn't promote the usage, and as I talked to a handful of players during the season about the NAPL, they had all seen the lab on tours but hadn't known how it was being used.
