Athletic Republic Football Training

Ever since founder and exercise physiologist John Frappier first worked with All Pro NFL Football Players Tim Krumrie and Anthony Munoz of the Cincinnati Bengals nearly 20 years ago, our performance sports training centers have been the go-to place for serious football players. More than 500 NFL players including current greats like LaMarr Woodley, Darren McFadden, Corey Graham and Paris Lenon have used our science-based, position-specific sports training protocols and proprietary equipment to improve their speed, power, agility and playmaking skills. We take football training far beyond the standard weight room, to a place where ground-breaking assessment tools, integrated video and performance management software provide a rock-solid framework for developing and evaluating the capabilities of football players from youth to pro.

THROWING

Arm strength is a concern of every quarterback. We measure arm strength by determining throwing velocity or throwing distance. Our patented throwing cord has taken countless athletes to the next level by improving their arm strength. As a patented piece of equipment, this training is only available at Athletic Republic.

CONDITIONING CORDS

Athletic Republic Conditioning Cords provide controlled resistance while allowing athletes to perform at game speed velocities, greatly improving power for hitting, throwing and running. Our patented SprintCords, ThrowingCords, PowerCords and Warm-up Cords provide resistance without changing or affecting proper mechanics.  When the conditioning cords come off, athletes produce more power than ever before.  All cords come in Pro and Varsity resistance levels.

NIKE SENSORY TRAINING EVALUATION

Higher performing athletes see better - it is a proven fact. After extensive research Nike has developed a program that evaluates visual clarity, speed of perception, eye-hand coordination, dynamic visual acuity, reaction time and depth perception. Then generates a peer comparison producing a customized improvement plan based on a national comparison of like athletes across the country. Imagine being able to see the threads on the ball.

NIKE SENSORY TRAINING

Using (4) training strategies athletes will improve on areas identified in the Sensory Evaluation.

NIKE STROBE TRAINING

This program will improve timing, visualization, quickness, peripheral vision and balance.

WEIGHT LIFTING

This program focuses on teaching all of the necessary lifts athletes perform in a competitive weight room environment including the Olympic lifts.

DIGITAL VIDEO ANALYSIS

Utilizing DartFISH software we provide a complete running analysis with measurement of key running angles such as knee drive, pelvic angle and more. Athletes are provided with a breakdown of the strengths and weaknesses of their stride. Recommendations are provided.

REGISTRATION/PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT

The assessment process begins with a test to establish a performance baseline by measuring the following key areas of athleticism:

  • Movement Skills 
  • Power and Strength 
  • Efficiency

The test results are interpreted in relation to an athlete's physical development, gender, sport and position training goals and applied to develop an individualized performance sports training program.  At the conclusion of a training program, Athletic Republic tests again to measure performance improvements and track progression against goals.  Our entire athlete assessment process synchronizes video with performance results, setting a new testing standard that we have taken beyond our training centers to combines like the Army All-American Game National Combine.  Thanks to our extensive database of test and performance information, athletes can compare their results against peers by geography, gender, age or sport to see where they rank. Each athlete receives an Athletic Republic Training Kit with includes a t-shirt, shorts, drawstring bag and water bottle.

“Athletic Republic training gave me a great edge. It moved everything forward: my athleticism, competition and football skills. It was the answer I was looking for. My goal was to play in the NFL and the Athletic Republic Training Program helped me to reach it.”

-Shaun Alexander, NFL

“I need to get on your treadmill (the Athletic Republic Super Treadmill) to help me get my feet turning over to run my fastest in the 40 yard dash.”

-Toby Gerhart, Preparing for 2010 NFL Draft

“I’ve gone to other training facilities just to lift weights, but those facilities aren’t really places for athletes; the atmosphere isn’t an athlete atmosphere.  But with Athletic Republic Training – every component – that’s for athletes.”

-Paris Lenon, NFL

“What the Athletic Republic program does with its focus on quickness and speed is fill in the training need for a player in the NFL.”

-Logan Mankins, NFL

“Training with the equipment and protocols at Athletic Republic really helped me improve my speed and first-step explosiveness.”

Darren McFadden, NFL


FOOTBALL FAST

Athletic Republic training makes athletes faster on the football field. Our football speed-training program focuses on improving speed and fundamental movement skills, developing explosive power to deliver a blow or gain a first step, and conditioning to ensure the athlete performs as well in the fourth quarter as the first.

Athletic Republic gives athletes a competitive advantage. Our proprietary equipment, certified trainers and proven training protocols create an environment that maximizes athletic potential. Super Running Treadmill is a proven training tool that safely takes the athlete beyond what he/she can do on the ground.  The feedback provided verbally by Athletic Republic certified trainers and visually through mirrors and video, contributes to an improved stride and greater running efficiency in just a few weeks.

THE ROAD TO BEING AN ALL-AMERICAN RUNS THROUGH OUR DOORS.

In partnership with Football University, Top Gun, The US Army All American Game and Top 500 National Underclassmen Combine, Athletic Republic is the official performance sports training and combine testing company for the nation’s best high school football players. If you want to develop the explosive speed to separate from the pack and explosive power to run through your opponents, sign-up for an Athletic Republic Assessment and start training with the best.  From Pop Warner to the Pros, our science based protocols and proprietary equipment deliver proven performance results (link to Study and results with Dickinson St. Football Team).

The structure of an individual’s football-training program starts with the athlete’s physical development. Football training for pre-pubescent athletes focuses on developing coordination, agility and speed since muscle mass develops later in a young athlete’s life. The chart above shows how the amount of training time spent on movement skills is much greater for younger athletes, and as the athletes mature and the level of competition increases, training focuses more on the development of power/strength and running efficiency. Professional players spend the largest portion of time on power/strength development, but still spend time working on movement skills and running efficiency.
