Most athletes this time of year in our area likely are to be found indoors.On the hardwood floors of the gym or on a wrestling mat but for some one hundred or so hard core football players, a football workout in February-outdoors became a reality.This past weekend UE Sports hosted the inaugural QFB Football Combine which was held at the MuckleshootTribalSchool.The weather contributed to a successful kick off where the venue was buzzing as well over 100 of the region’s talented young athletes lined up for what everyone, spectators included, look’s forward to during the off season–great competition and there was plenty of it.
I talked with many of these athletes and basically told them, “Don’t show up to train.Show up to compete.”Talent budding from end zone to end zone set the pace for an exciting event which managed to draw in the best of the locals including athletes from Utah, Oregon and Idaho.The caliber of talent impressed parents, visiting college coaches and a number of Athletic Directors from area school districts.These kids were fired up and shared one common goal “Get Reps-Get Better”.Simple.Their hard work during the off season not only strengthens and builds confidence but helps them hone the fundamental skills necessary to compete as well as becoming a positive contributor to their respective teams when the season rolls around.
We want to thank the Muckleshoot Tribal School for an amazing venue. We also want to thank all the volunteer coaches especially our guest coaches, Coach Laufasa, Coach Sikahema, Chris Paulson and Fono Vakalahi for their contribution. Our biggest thank you goes to the behind the scenes staff and to those who helped promote the event. THANK YOU! Last but not least, to all the athletes who participated thank you for coming out. Keep the text messages coming! I value your feedback. Looking forward to seeing you at our next event!
Combine testing in five categories to include 40 yard dash, vertical jump, 20 yard shuttle, power ball throw (replaces bench press) and 3 cone drill
