Well Done Robbo!

Monday, September 28th 2009

Congratulations to one of my colleagues and mates Dean Robinson the Strength and Conditioning Coach from the Geelong Footy Club. Robbo is one of the smartest and hardest working strength and conditioning coaches I have ever met.  Congratulations on the fruits of your labour to produce the fastest, strongest, most injury free footballers in Australia.

Robbo is a weapon

Gold Coast Stingrays AFL Club

“Having had a significant injury list during previous years, I sought the expertise of Joey Hayes to map out, program and guide our physical training processes for the Gold Coast Stingrays Under 16 AFL Team. His ability to get athletes faster, stronger and fitter but more importantly more resilient (healthy and injury free) is his point of difference! The program the Gold Coast Stingrays received was the most specific, detailed and comprehensive program I have been involved with. Our team won the QLD State Titles and beat every other team by a significant margin and had a record 9 Gold Coast AFL players that were selected in the QLD squad. We did not sustain any soft tissue injuries during the 8 months Joey worked with us. Joey Hayes and the AFL Coach Education Package is the Real Deal and a MUST HAVE RESOURCE for serious coaches that want to get the advantage over their competition.

Joey’s perspective on what BEING THE BEST means and how to BE THE BEST, influenced my on-field and off-field motivation to exceed personal expectations, to push past the boundaries of pain til I knew that when I faced any opponent on a football field, I was physically superior to them. But it’s not just being bigger and stronger than anyone else; Joey’s emphasis on flexibility, power and agility sets him apart from the other conditioning coaches. His goal is to make you the complete footballer/athlete, no matter what it takes. Give Joey a call, bust your guts to get involved in his training programs and learn to call THE PIT your second home. If you want to achieve the ultimate success, then you’re doing yourself every favour in the world by being an athlete of Joey Hayes.

As the Southport Sharks Head Strength and Conditioning Coach, Joeys’ record is impressive;

3 years at the helm, 3 Grand Final appearances, 2 premierships and a record number of junior players drafted to AFL clubs.

Joey’s unique strength and conditioning programs specific to AFL were pertinent to our success and guaranteed our players were physically superior in all facets of the game.

His uncompromising attitude, expectations and professionalism set a new standard of professionalism at the club, and forced players to exceed these standards.

As a player I was impressed with his dedication to the craft and the fact, he left no stone unturned in his preparation to ensure each player was at their physical peak!

He has an uncanny ability to get players to peak and lift during the finals series, when it matters most.

If you are a team or club, Joey can help your team achieve the premiership success you desire!!

Now for the real stuff

Now that we have the store copy written, let’s get to the real info. I was told about the Prowler from the USA and dismissed it as just another sled.

That is until I saw it in use at Joe Defrancos Training Facility:

I found out real fast what kind of shape I was in”…

I did not get a chance to drag it like a sled or any of the other great movements because I was too busy doing aggressive abdominal thrusts.

So, if you think you are in shape, You’re dead Wrong!
