There are reasons besides DNA and talent that professional football players get to the NFL. Of course, athletes at the game’s highest level are naturally faster and stronger than people in the stands. But hard work, training intensity, and having a good plan are what make the very good into the very best.
To find out exactly what goes into elevating these incredible athletes to supernatural status, we spoke with several NFL coaches, trainers, and nutritionists about their training secrets. More important, we asked how the average fan who works out on his own can apply these tactics to get a leg up at the gym, on the field, or in a race.
For the most part, the “secrets” aren’t all that hush-hush—and many times they are strictly common sense. “It’s an old adage, but you get out of it what you put in,” says coach Tom Shaw, a former conditioning coach for the New England Patriots who runs Tom Shaw Performance Camps at the Disney Wide World of Sports Complex in Orlando, FL. “The big thing is to have a plan, stick to it every day, and execute it with intensity and focus.” Here are 8 things—some big picture, some more specific—that you can learn from the pros.
