EAP FOOTBALL COMBINE PREPARATION
EAP Combine Prep program is recognized as one of the best boutique programs in the Country. The Strength of our Program is our attention to detail. Our classes are capped at 4 individuals. This is significantly smaller than many of our competitors and the intimacy of the group gives us an opportunity to customize each training program to the athlete. EAP dedicates eight weeks to making sure athletes look and perform at the top of their game.
The single most important part of preparing athletes for the combine is how to approach it. Consider this as a “LSAT” or “MCAT” or “SAT” for Combine Testing. As each event requires its own specific set of skills, each must be addressed individually. Here the athlete will learn how to perform each specific event in the most efficient manner possible. Practice makes perfect, but actually improving ones mechanics makes results even better. There are strategies to taking any test and the Combine is no different. Ultimately our objective is to make our clients Master Test Takers. Weeks of training on the identical surface also have its advantages. No athlete at the combine will be better prepared and that knowledge will instill the confidence that will allow peak performance.
Flexibility Training
Flexibility is one of the most over looked components of training the athlete. The EAP program places special focus on flexibility as we recognize the dramatic effects it can have on performance and its importance in reducing muscle soreness. Our combine specialists are certified in MicroStretching, IAAF approved modality for increasing the range of soft-tissue and joints. This technique, as well as, PNF (Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation) stretching techniques have been performed on hundreds of Olympic sprinters and NFL players and are widely regarded to be at the forefront of flexibility training.
Recovery / Restoration Techniques
Most athletes who come to us know how to train hard, but few know how to train smart. Merely increasing days, sets and reps is never the answer. In fact, proper recovery is the absolute key to performance and improvement. We accelerate the recovery process for the athlete with the best restoration methods available. This includes Integrated Structural Body Work (ISBW), sports massage, cold baths, and nutrition supplementation
Integrated Structural Body Work (ISBW)
ISBW is a new non-invasive treatment used to correct conditions arising from overuse, repetitive stress injuries and to enhance athletic performance. ISBW is a hands-on therapy, designed to restore the normal texture and tension to soft tissue allowing full function and movement. ISBW breaks down scar tissue and adhesions that form within or between soft tissues. What attracts so many athletes to ISBW are the quick and lasting results without resorting to surgery.
Anaerobic / Aerobic Conditioning
This is accomplished through our state-of-the-art, one-of-a-kind Dynamic Warm-up. Learning this skill alone has been proven to increase our client’s results.
Sprint Technique Training
This is the area where we first made a name for ourselves. It is possible to improve ones 40-yard dash time. Working on the proper stance, first-step technique, acceleration, maximum velocity mechanics, as well as methods for improving speed endurance can all be a factor.
40-Yard Dash:
We can make improvements in start, acceleration, top speed and finish. As a result we have been successful in routinely lowering our athlete’s time’s from our Event Assessment by 3 – 4 tenths of a second!
225-Pound Bench Press:
We focus on developing technique then improving maximal strength and then we train the energy system for the max rep test.
Vertical Jump:
We teach our athletes how to take full advantage of the counter movement in the jump and we work to increase our athlete’s ability to generate power from the ground by incorporating Olympic Weightlifting into the program.
Broad Jump:
The technique for the broad jump differs from the vertical jump, and must be mastered in order to achieve peak performance. Again, we find that utilizing the Olympic Lifts help our athletes develop their power by teaching them to recruit and coordinate all the muscle groups in the kinetic chain.
20-Yard Shuttle or 5-10-5:
Several scouts and coaches around the Country place the shuttle above the 40 in importance when evaluating players. The shuttle has a higher dynamic correspondence to the lateral movement executed during a game. We spend a good deal of time teaching our athletes the most efficient technique based on their specific strengths and weaknesses. Once the technique is mastered then practicing the drill becomes the focus. The shuttle is one of the few events where proper footwear is essential. We will make sure our athletes are outfitted with the best equipment to maximize performance!
3 Cone Drill:
It involves the direction change aspect of the 20 Yard Shuttle with full speed 180-degree turn and finishes with a speed cut. Developing solid technique and running through several repetitions of this drill is absolutely essential.
60-Yard Shuttle:
The event is an endurance test that incorporates direction change. Most Combine participants are exempt from the test, but one should know the drill and be prepared to post a solid time if the need should arise.
Position Drills:
Each position has its own set of required drills. We seek out professional consultants based on the compilation of our Combine Prep Class. These professionals work our athlete’s in the exact drills they will face at the Combine and coach our athlete’s to know what scouts and coaches are looking for.
Team Interviews:
Contrary to popular belief, the Event testing is not the only important aspect of the NFL Combine. Every Team conducts personal interviews during combine weekend. Psychological tests and film review sessions are great ways to assess a player’s intangible quality. We prep our athlete’s thoroughly for these interviews to ensure they make lasting impressions on coaches and scouts.
Wonderlic Intelligence Test:
The NFL uses a version of the Wonderlic Personnel Test (WPT). The test is 12-minutes long and contains 50 questions. It is designed to measure general cognitive ability. It consists of verbal, numerical, general knowledge, analytical and spatial relations questions that are systematically organized in ascending order of difficulty. It is designed so that few people are expected to complete it in the time allowed. Most teams view different positions as having different requirements, but for the most part the higher you score the better. Sample tests are made available to our athletes and tips on taking the test are provided.
Strength, Conditioning & Maybe a Little Bodybuilding:
Each athlete is different, but a stronger, better-balanced athlete will perform better at every combine event. Strength training may include Maximum Strength, Dynamic Effort, Repetition/Muscular Endurance, Accelerative Training, Isometrics, or Hypertrophy Training. Believe it or not, significant gains in strength are possible in the small window of opportunity we have to work with. Very often all it may take is a different approach for an athlete to make gains from a point where they had plateaued before.
General physical preparation is an important component of our program. It helps our athletes perform better in the Combine Events but also helps our athlete “look the part”. We evaluate body composition every week to demonstrate progress to our athletes and to confirm the correctness of our programming. On average our athletes gain 5-7lbs and lose 1-2% body fat in the 8-week process.
Yusuf is extremely knowledgeable in the areas of Elite Level Planning, Speed & Power Development, as well as Strength Training for Speed-Power sports. I have worked with Yusuf in the development of videos regarding “off-ice conditioning for hockey players” and have asked him to guest lecture on occasion at York University… Continue Reading “Dr. Dave Chambers, Ph.D.”

…the best methods & techniques come from the trainers who think ‘outside-the-box’. These trainers are the true pioneers, pushing the boundaries of human limits. Yusuf Omar is one of these select few individuals. I have personally experienced & observed the results of his methods, methods that are light years ahead of what is currently considered ground-breaking. Continue Reading “Dr. Nikos Apostolopoulos Ph.D.”
Recovery & Regeneration Specialist, Founder of “Stretch Therapy” & “Microstretching”
…His views on training and recovery are unparalleled and I started producing results very quickly winning races in my age category…I had a concussion and an injured
shoulder/rotator cuff. Most likely a nerve impingement. I didn’t even bother going to the doctor. I walked into his office a mess, but walked out 3hrs later ‘floating’. I had regained full mobility in my shoulder and drastically minimized the ‘fogginess’ associated with concussions. I was in awe!
In 2000, I severely sprained my left ankle. Torn ligaments, swollen, black and blue. With his treatment protocols, I was walking within 3 days and had fully recovered and resumed training within 3 weeks. This would normally be a one-two month process anywhere else. 3 weeks! Very impressive! These are just a few notable stories of many that I have.
I would highly recommend his services if you are looking to:
• Achieve peak physical fitness for competition in any sport
• Recover from long standing injuries that has EVERYONE else baffled.
…He had suffered a reoccurring ankle problem, which had been going on for about 6 months. Prior to this he had been to a physiotherapist, a chiropractor and a sports medicine doctor. Their diagnosis altered from a chronic sprained ankle to a broken bone in his foot. One of the specialists stated it would be unlikely he would ever be able to run competitively again which caused major frustration for Ben…
Yusuf took the time to understand the real nature of Ben’s injury and worked extensively with him to ensure the injury was treated appropriately. Yusuf explained how Ben’s alignment had been affected and through intensive therapy and support Ben was able to recover 100% from his injury and began to perform and train better than ever. As a result, Ben has had a very successful running career to date and is now headed to University of Toronto and will be a member of the elite U of T track team.
We owe so much to Yusuf, for his time, his patience and his expertise. I truly believe without his amazing insight into Ben’s injuries and his understanding of the human body, Ben would not be training and running competitively today. We have recommended Yusuf to many athletes Ben has trained with and the results have always been beyond expectation. Both Ben and I highly recommend Yusuf and believe he has made a lasting impact on Ben’s athletic abilities. Continue Reading “Laurie Campbell”
…He has an amazing knowledge of human body and function from a multi-disciplinary approach. I was back to playing squash within a few months and avoided unneeded surgery for a slight meniscus tear. If you are looking for a quick fix, you are in the wrong place. If you are looking for sustained results, and are prepared to do your homework, Yusuf is great. Continue Reading “Phil Mercurio”

…I have dropped three seconds in the 400m and I plan to drop another three seconds in a few months. Overtime after working with the system I’ve noticed that my spring after my foot touches the ground is becoming more powerful so I’m spending less time on the ground which means that most the time I am in the air which equals to faster times and less work and stress loads on my body. I have also noticed a reduction of restrictive movements as well as a lesser risk of injury potential which is a big thing for me since I had big problems with my hamstrings in the past and now that I’ve learned to listen to my body and react to what it’s telling me my injury potential has reduced exponentially.

…The symptoms from Concussion Syndrome have reduced a lot, which in turn has allowed me to train again at a level required for me to achieve my personal goals. The fundamentals taught to me by Yusuf have made me understand the necessary steps and precautions to be taken in order to decrease my injury potential. I am much stronger, my range of motion has improved, and I’m able to train without fear of residual issues arising after an intense training session. It’s one thing to perform at a high level but another to actually perform these athletic abilities consistently without fear of injury or reprisal. Continue Reading “Troy Dos Santos”

…Personally, he is extremely caring and passionate about any fellow human being and professionally, an endless researcher of new methods and understanding of how the mind and body works making him in my opinion second to none, of all the people on his field of expertise that I had the opportunity to meet and deal with throughout the World, in terms of training, recovery & regeneration and physiotherapy. Yusef’s approach to treat the root of the problem in detail, instead of the symptoms, sets him far apart from most of the conventional practitioners. I’ve witnessed many times while working abroad with Yusuf, how much his professional peers from different countries such as Italy, Germany and Spain had praise and the highest regards for his talent and knowledge… Continue Reading “Armando Costa”
