Behind the Body: Ryan Tannehill Focused on Goals

[Daytona Fin]

From SI

Once all the heavy padding is removed, it is clear that Ryan Tannehill takes great care of his body. From the variety of training he performs on and off the field to the importance he places on pre- and post-workout nutrition, Ryan’s program is top notch.

Tannehill’s focus and work ethic permeate every aspect of his career. In his third season as the starting quarterback for the Miami Dolphins, he had over 4,000 yards passing and 27 touchdown strikes. He set the franchise record for completions (392) in a single season.

If he is up against a barrier in the gym or on the field, the Texas A&M grad always comes back to his goals. “When it gets tough, I always remind myself of the goals I have set. This is a great motivator to push through the challenge and get to where I want to be.”

Training Grounds: Davey, Fla.

Hours spent working out per day: During the season I spend about an hour working out and 2.5 hours at practice. In the offseason, I spend more time in the gym building up my strength and speed.

Training program: During the offseason, I start with body-weight training for a few weeks. Then by late February/early March I introduce high-intensity cardio, such as footwork and plyometrics to improve speed and agility, as well as resistance training to build strength for the season. I also have a throwing program. During the season, the workouts are milder, with less weight.

Biggest physical challenge: In my position, there a lot of things I have to work hard to get better at. Flexibility has never been my strong suit. I work on this by doing yoga in the offseason, and I have a daily program of foam rolling and stretching.
Go-to meal or snack before a game: Since our games are usually at 1:00 p.m., I make sure I have a substantial mid-morning breakfast. I have eggs, potatoes, bacon and orange juice. Then I eat an energy bar and drink a Spark right before the game. Typically I will have another bar and a banana at halftime.

​Go-to meal or snack after a game: My wife is an amazing cook! Her family is Italian and she makes her grandma’s authentic lasagna. It’s unreal.

Having a hot blonde wife doesn't hurt either.

Hard to take an article serious when they use the term "Davey, FL"

If Lauren is really an "amazing cook", she just got a lot hotter in my eyes. She comes off as kind of dingy, fair or unfair. I didn't say dingy wasn't "smashable" though :up:

I'm glad Ryan seems dedicated in the offseason . . . and people may not want to hear this . . . but I hope he attempts to reach out to Mike Wallace this offseason and invites him over to eat some of Lauren's lasagna. Hell, maybe he already has, none of us know, but I really think I'd like to hear more about him organizing workouts and getting with his top playmakers in an attempt to reach team goals. That would be the ultimate "There you go 17" moment for me this offseason. And if it doesn't happen, maybe it's because of Mike, hell I don't know, but I hope that intent is there from the QB.

He did that last year, and Mike wasn't there. Nobody know's the reason.

I remember him working out with Hartline and Matthews . . . which is great. Hopefully this year that list includes Clay, Landry and above all . . . Mike Wallace. If it doesn't, I'll feel comfortable knowing the QB attempted to make it happen.

When he said he has a spark drink before the game I thought he meant this sparks My man getting his buzz on before the game. Apparently there is another spark energy drink.
