Football Training for Agility
There is no argument that football players need to be quick and agile. Agility training for football players in a must and needs to be addressed in every teams training program. In this article, we will discuss how the development of motor skills will help improve agility. You have to get scientific about your approach. It is not good enough to simply engage in a bunch of cardiovascular exercises that do nothing to develop the specific motor skills necessary to best perform your given position. You have to know what has been proven to work to increase agility. You first need to define exactly what motor skills that you are attempting to enhance.
Coaching to Perfection
You only have to look at New York Giants coach Tom Coughlin to see the benefits of coaching to perfection. When Coughlin decided to play the last regular season game, he took added criticism on top of what was already there - he didn't fight back and stuck with his plan, regardless of what was being said. Coughlin obviously planned to put pressure on Patriots' coach Bill Belichick by sticking to the plan - and it worked. What aspects of Coughlin's coaching led the Giants to victory in what seemed to be a no win situation? Let's look at the lessons we can learn from Superbowl XLII - and translate into our coaching styles.
Best NFL Quarterbacks - Where Does Brett Favre Rank?
Where does Brett Favre rank among the best nfl quarterbacks? This is a question that has been raised a lot, lately, since the retirement announcement from Packers future hall of fame quarterback, Brett Favre. I have Favre at #1. Favre is not only the best quarterback of all time, but he is also one of the best (and most beloved) athletes of all time for ANY sport, in my most humble opinion. I realize that's a bold statement, but I truly believe it, and I don't apologize for it. But admittedly, I'm biased. I'm a huge Green Bay Packers fan, and an even bigger Brett Favre fan. But I'm not making my claim listing him as the best with my Favre blinders on, either.
X1 Football Helmet Incorporates New Technology to Protect Players From Concussions
A lot of attention has been paid to the dangers of concussions in football since the death of former NFL defensive back Andre Waters and the release of a report that indicated concussions were tied to depression in ex-NFL players. Those incidents have led the NFL to undertake several new initiatives and, across the nation, football programs from the high-school to professional levels are taking a more proactive approach to preventing head injuries. A former Harvard quarterback and his innovative company are also contributing to the cause with their newest invention - the X1 football helmet. The X1 is the product of Xenith LLC, a company established in 2004 by Vincent Ferrara - a Harvard quarterback in the mid-90s and a graduate of Columbia's business and medical schools.

Chicago Bears - Urlacher Trade?
The Chicago Bears are one conservative NFL team. Maybe it is their part of NFL history. Maybe the Chicago Bears are just built to stand pat while other NFL teams wheel and deal. However, the Chicago sports stations are tossing the idea that Brian Urlacher may be traded. The idea that the Chicago Bears would trade their poster boy, the NFL player that most exemplifies what the Chicago Bears stand for, and could be a throwback to an earlier NFL or Chicago Bears day, seems jarring. #54 seems the type of player that would play his entire career with the Chicago Bears, have his number retired on a Monday Night, the whole shebang.
