at Bostic Sports Performance

At Bostic Sports Performance, we recognize that the combine is one of the most important events in a player’s career, and we are committed to providing the elite training, position-specific development, and mental conditioning necessary to help athletes shine in front of NFL scouts, coaches, and executives.

Our program is tailored to address the specific physical and mental demands of the NFL Combine, from strength and speed tests to position drills, agility assessments, and mental resilience. With a combination of cutting-edge sports science, elite coaching, and individualized attention, we prepare athletes to showcase their talent and achieve their career goals.

Program Overview

The NFL Combine is a series of intense physical and mental challenges that test the full range of a player’s abilities, including speed, agility, strength, endurance, and football-specific skills. Our NFL Combine Prep Program focuses on the critical areas of performance required for success at the combine, ensuring athletes are physically and mentally prepared for the tests they will face.

We combine position-specific training, sports performance development, mental conditioning, and combine-specific testing protocols to ensure that each athlete is ready to excel when it matters most.

Comprehensive Combine Preparation

Our NFL Combine prep training addresses all the key components of the combine experience:

Physical Testing & Performance Optimization: The NFL Combine includes several key tests that athletes must perform at a high level. We simulate these tests to help athletes optimize their performance.
- 40-Yard Dash: We use sprint mechanics, starting technique, and acceleration drills to improve first-step explosiveness, top-end speed, and running form to maximize the 40-yard dash time.
- Bench Press: We emphasize upper body strength, explosive power, and endurance. Through a mix of strength training and muscle endurance drills, we help athletes increase their bench press numbers, focusing on proper form to ensure efficient, effective reps.
- Vertical Leap: Plyometric training, explosive movements, and jump technique drills are incorporated to improve vertical jumping ability and increase lower body power for elite performance in the vertical leap test.
- Broad Jump: Athletes train on improving their lower body explosiveness, focusing on the hip extension, hip flexion, and overall jump mechanics needed for maximum distance.
- 3-Cone Drill: The 3-cone drill tests change of direction, agility, and quickness. We focus on footwork, lateral movement, and reaction time to help athletes achieve quicker times and better fluidity in their movements.
- Shuttle Drill: We focus on lateral agility, cutting mechanics, and rapid deceleration to improve performance in the shuttle drill, ensuring athletes can make sharp turns and maintain speed during change-of-direction drills.
Flexibility & Mobility: Mobility and flexibility are essential to reducing injury risk and improving athletic performance. We incorporate dynamic stretching, mobility drills, and foam rolling to ensure athletes have the range of motion needed for optimal performance in drills and testing.

Position-Specific Training: In addition to the physical testing, the NFL Combine includes position-specific drills that test a player’s skills. Whether you’re a quarterback, wide receiver, running back, offensive lineman, defensive back, or linebacker, we provide individualized coaching to enhance your technical ability in the specific drills and skills used at the combine.
- Quarterbacks: Focus on throwing mechanics, footwork, and accuracy. We help QBs improve their velocity, precision, and deep-ball mechanics, while simulating the pressure of on-field combine drills.
- Wide Receivers & Running Backs: We work on route running, release techniques, hands and catching under pressure, and yard-after-catch abilities. For running backs, we focus on ball security, footwork, and vision in simulated game situations.
- Linemen (Offensive & Defensive): We focus on explosiveness off the line, block shedding for defensive players, and hand placement and footwork for both offense and defense.
- Defensive Backs & Linebackers: We improve footwork, coverage techniques, reaction time, and ball tracking to help DBs and linebackers shine during their drills, focusing on explosive transitions and quick decision-making.
Strength & Conditioning: Building functional strength and explosive power is a key component of NFL Combine prep. Our program focuses on full-body strength, speed training, and plyometrics to enhance explosive power and overall athleticism. Specific areas include:
- Upper Body Strength: Using compound lifts (bench press, pull-ups, shoulder presses) to increase upper body power for bench press performance and in-game strength.
- Lower Body Strength: We target leg muscles for acceleration, jumping power, and change-of-direction with exercises like squats, lunges, and plyometric jumps.
- Core Strength: Athletes will build core stability, which is crucial for maintaining control during all movements—whether sprinting, changing direction, or holding blocks.
- Explosive Power: Exercises like sprints, box jumps, and resisted running are key to developing power and speed, ensuring athletes can perform at their highest level during combine testing.

Mental Conditioning & Confidence Building

The NFL Combine is not just a physical test; it’s also a mental challenge. At Bostic Sports Performance, we help athletes build the mental toughness and focus they need to excel under pressure.

Mindset Coaching: We work with athletes on visualization, goal setting, and positive self-talk techniques to ensure they approach the combine with confidence, focus, and mental resilience. We help athletes stay calm under pressure, trust their training, and maintain focus during each test.
NFL Combine Simulation: Our program includes mock combine days that simulate the actual event, allowing athletes to practice their timing, work through the tests, and get feedback on their performance. This also helps reduce anxiety and ensures athletes are mentally prepared for the real thing.
Game-Time Focus: We use drills and exercises to help athletes hone their ability to stay focused under pressure, making decisions quickly and effectively. We incorporate pressure situations to prepare players for the intensity of the combine environment.
