Imagine walking into the gym, heading to the weight rack, swiping your wristband by a tablet and seeing your workout -- the one tailored just for you -- displayed on the screen.As you move through your workout, your performance metrics are captured and stored so you can measure your progress.

Upon completion, you pick up a specially designed sports drink, one that is based on your individual profile of how -- and what -- you sweat.

Between workouts you might want to rest. You won't take an ordinary nap, though. Instead you'll be working on relaxation and recovery using microcurrent stimulation, listening to neuroacoustic software while wearing an eye mask.

And should you have any questions along the way, there is a team of experts available to help you in any area you wish to target. Two sports performance specialists, a sports science analyst and a nutritionist work full-time alongside strength and conditioning coaches, rehabilitation personnel and the football coaches themselves to create an environment in which optimizing performance is key.

Surprised this hadn't been posted yet. We've been hearing drips and drabs about this program for a while now, but here's the full boat via Stephania Bell. Fascinating stuff. Here's hoping we use all of this and a bit of voodoo to get Reshad Jones on the field on Sunday.

That is some compelling stuff, but in the end not all surprising...The more we learn about the human body and how it reacts to specific exercises as well as specific nutrition the better we are able to fuel and develop it.

NFL has limits it can spend on player salaries, but there is no limit on facilities...if nothing else...Ross is not afraid to spend on giving his players the best.
 
For all his faults I do have to credit Ross for spending the money to get the best for this team. I like that we are trying to be innovative and ahead of the pack. I just dont know how much this stuff really helps. Obviously against big injuries (ACL, MCL, bone breaks) there inst much you can do, but hopefully the little stuff like muscle pulls and tears will decrease for us. Will be interesting to see some the numbers on this in a few years vs the rest of the league.

Part of his proactive approach includes trying to identify potential injuries before they occur. As part of that effort, Diesel and his team are gathering performance metrics and monitoring physical measures to help identify subtle changes that could signal an injury-in-waiting.

... I find it works for me. Your mileage may vary.
 
As a guy who expects to be drafted next year in the first 2-3 rounds. I'll let you guys know how it is once I get to the facility

For real? That's pretty cool if you aren't pulling our chains lol.
 
In a related story the fin's have signed this guy to the practice squad

Although the 6 million dollar deal seems a little pricey to me :idk:

I don't want him on our team. I heard he had a screw loose.
 
I think ligament tears such as acl and pcl are precisely one of the areas you could see improvement since those are ligaments heavily stabilized by muscles.

Totally agree with FSU this is where Ross' money pays dividends.
