COMBINE 360 GLOBAL TRAINING SYMPOSIUM

Day 1 Of the Combine 360 Global Training Symposium

Hi everyone this is Jason LeGree from Elite Performance Athletics let me tell you about how amazing my first day has been on this kick ass adventure. We flew out of buffalo into Sarasota last night and arrived at our hotel around 9pm. Looking around I would say that this hotel is incredible, lights everywhere, water walls, and even a waterfall in the back. Me and my friend Eric Daye of Tru Body Fitness, went out for some eats, and then back to the hotel to sleep in preparation for today. We got up early and had some breakfast, the view in the hotel room is amazing, and palm trees everywhere and a view of the bay area. Now we wait until 12 to get the bus to IMG academy’s where we will check in and start our c360 certification.  I will check back in tonight and let you know how the rest of the day went

This is Jason LeGree signing off.

Ok so day 1 is done, we had an amazing first few hours of lectures.  We started off the lectures with Brian Griffin where he introduced us to what combine 360 is all about. Brian went on to introduce another of the founders of the combine 360 and fellow Canadian Peter Twist of Twist Conditioning. Peter then went on to lecture about the combine 360 rules and Combine 360 Balance.  After that we had our first workout 6 minutes long. We had some amazing combine challenges where we tested our conditioning, strength and balance. Afterward we got our Under Armor gear, one of the instructors took me aside and gave me an additional shirt, she said I was chosen as one of the six hardest workers from the workout which really made me feel incredible. After that we left for the hotel, where we had dinner, I had a nice Tuna Steak and Steam Asparagus. Signing off now, see you tomorrow J

Day 2 530 am wake up time, workout 630.

Soooo, day 2 workout is done and it was amazing. I am learning so much from everything we do. Today again we stressed strength/balance and movement as the workout. Today is all about TRAIN TO GAIN. My favorite exercise so far has to be the ViPR Toss. I scored with a total of 30 flips in 60 seconds. It’s a strength move that’s not only challenging but incredibly fun. So we had some breakfast and then went over to the conference room and learned all about the first fast of Combine Training, Athletic Balance, expanded from yesterday. Today we did drills and progression to advance our clients and athletes to the next level. Now it’s time for lunch and some sun tanning, until next time this is Jason LeGree

Ok done lectures for the day all we have is dinner left at the IMG Country Club. I am pumped for that J. The last few lectures of the day after lunch worked on athletic movement progression and regression and how we can take out clients and athletes into these drills and increase performance, decrease risk of injury and improve all the different systems that are needed for an athlete. Everyone is an athlete and that was stressed all day and it really made me think about it, the more I thought the more it made sense, everyone wants to achieve something some goal.  This is the start of something huge, absolutely positively humongous. Listening to Peter Twist talk tonight after dinner was something that has changed my life, he talked about how we need to pick up the ball and run with it, yea that little statement and realizing the positive influences I can make for those around me really made me believe truly believe in this movement. Combine 360 is the begining of true athletic training and testing, it will become the largest part of any athlete’s life and I mean either the athlete who trains to play, trains to compete or training is their sport. Peter touched on a lot of the issues I had thought about before, how can I with such a small voice make a huge impact, and now I know that with the support of under armor and IMG academies, I WILL BE HEARD, I WILL AFFECT CHANGE AND I WILL PROTECT THIS HOUSE.
