For professional football hopefulls who get invited to the annual NFL Combine or have scheduled workouts with NFL scouts (Pro Days) and/or scouting camps, The Cutting Edge has an intense training program to prepare you for these events.  Again, you must train specifically for these "job interviews" as you are being critically evaluated on your ability to run, jump, and change directions.  Players and agents are encouraged to utilize our services as many athletes workout hard after college to prepare for these combines but don't train properly for the specific tests they will be evaluated on.  Not only do we prepare you for these specific tests, we specialize your program to maximize your individual needs.  Six to twelve weeks at our Southern California training center can make the difference in draft selection and thousands of dollars.  We have a nutritionist and chiropractor/Active Release Provider on-site as well as local networks with massage therepists, physical therapists, and orthopedic physicians to handle all medical and sports medicine related issues.

Nike SPARQ Combine Training

Every year there are numerous college sponsored camps and Nike combines around the country for high school football.  At these clinics, athletes are tested in various aspects of speed, agility, explosive power and strength.  Most of these clinics are swarming with college scouts who are looking for new recruits.  Thus, these clinics can be a great way to get noticed and put on a recruiting list.  However, if you participate in one of these clinics you better be ready to perform.   You will be tested in your 40-yard dash, pro-agility, vertical jump, and a 185lb maximum repitition bench press.  In order to ensure you best performance, you must prepare specifically for these tests with professionals who know how to maximize your results.

The Cutting Edge is one of the few select facilities in Southern California that is a Certified Nike SPARQ Testing Center.  Any high school athlete who is tested at The Cutting Edge receives a certified score that is submitted to Nike and will be assigned a SPARQ ranking, which is a calculated rank based on the sum of their scores for the various testing categories.  This ranking can be utilized to enter the athlete in the annual Nike Speed Challenge held at USC in July, and can also be used to compare their ranking against those around the country who have tested at the Nike Combines. 

In addition to testing athletes, The Cutting Edge has a specific program designed to educate and train football players to prepare for these tests.  Thus, we have prepared numerous athletes for these combines who have been offered big-time Division 1 scholarships immediately after the combines.  Hard core training is one component, but the other is technique.  We will teach you the best stance for the 40-yard dash, how to maximize the critical first 10 yards and utilize optimal mechancs through the finish line.  For the pro-agility, there are many critical areas athletes take false steps or perform wasted movements.  We will correct these problems and most likely make significant reductions in your time.  We will teach you how to gain maximal height in the vertical jump and how to gain several extra repetitions in the bench press test, just by technique alone.

Just signing up and going to these camps is a mistake, you must prepare and have a plan.  If you are successful, you may earn yourself a scholarship worth thousands of dollars.
