"Training with Antwon at NLP is the best step I took going forward in my career. Mentally I learned how to work hard, as well as smart. Antwon helped me develop a mental eye for the game, which made me a better and smarter player. Antwon helped me gain confidence in my strength as well as improving every aspect of my game. His facility is my favorite place to train, not only because of Antwon, but because NLP overall is a great atmosphere and beneficial to anyone working to take the next step in their athletic career."

"It's hard to find great d-line coaches in this business. Being around Antwon, I quickly notice he wasn't just great, but the best. When I'm looking for a great coach, I want to see someone that can teach me, push me past my limits and carry me on those days when I feel like I don't have it. That's what makes hi the best.""

"Training with NLP was an amazing experience. I just didn't learn how to become an elite football player, but a professional. Most trainers train to provide for themselves, but at NLP its deeper than that. Antwon wants you to see you succeed and become the best person you can be. Training with Antwon at NLP is not just a facility but a family."

SMOOTH TECHNIQUE, ACCELERATION, TRANSITION

The 40 yard dash is the biggest of all combine tests. Our training goal is to optimize current capabilities by conditioning the central nervous and neuromuscular systems to increase the firing patterns of fast twitch muscle fibers associated with SPEED. With the use of indoor turf and speed lasers we are able to fully prepare you for your 40 yard dash.


BODY CONTROL, TECHNIQUE, ENDURANCE

The 225 bench test is a measurement of strength and endurance. Our program is guaranteed to improve your technique, endurance, and overall strength. By breaking down the fundamentals step by step combined with our unique training methods, we are able to critique and mold player specific techniques to get the most out of every athlete.


EXPLOSIVE, SPEED, CONTROL

The jump test may be the best measurement of raw explosive at thecombine or pro day. These tests are a great indicator of explosiveness and lower body strength.


SPEED , AGILITY, BALANCE

These two drills measure an athlete's change of

direction, lateral quickness, and explosiveness.

The L drill translates best to on the the field

athleticism, which is why our elite training will

break down and critique each athlete's

technique to fully optimize their overall

acceleration and deceleration abilities.

The Wonderlic Cognitive Ability test was created in 1936, and designed to measure an individual's general cognitive ability. Today, the test is often given to prospective employees in order to evaluate their learning and problem-solving skills.

Our program also includes educational aspects. Not only will you enhance your physical performance, you will also mentally prepare for outside the lines. The good, the bad, and the realities no one talks about. We bring in professionals to teach each athlete the importance of managing your money, public speaking, and much more.
