It's official: Razor's Edge Performance is going to bring some awesome to the National Invitational Combine in Toronto this coming friday. I'd like to wish Willie and Mario luck in showing off their athleticism and skills for the attending CFL scouts. Both of these guys have been working their tails off and we're proud to say they train with Razor's Edge Performance.
Not only do we have athletes showing themselves off and measuring up to competition this week, in a way we're also doing the same. This is our first year doing combine prep with CIS players. This is exciting because it's a whole different type of training. Training an athlete over a long offseason for their sport is much different than a 2 month intensive program for a specific battery of tests. Not only is strength and power essential but the technical aspect of all of the tests cannot be overlooked. These athletes are training for agility, power, top end speed, lateral speed, explosiveness, as well as a significant mental component. That's a lot of different things to try and focus on in such a short period of time! Due to the strenuous nature of this type of training, recovery is crucial. That's why it's important to have our guys eating and drinking well as well as taking care of their soft tissue, mobility and flexibility.
For those of you who don't follow football or the scouting aspect, you now have an idea of the immense effort needed for such a short time. This is essentially the biggest job interview of their life thus far and depending on their success, may be the only one. The days are winding down and we're excited to see Willie and Mario show off all their hard work. Look forward to a post next week with their results and other observations from the NIC and CFL E-Camp this coming weekend.
NOTE: Here's a video of Willie's results at the NIC.

It's About Getting Better!
