This is the final segment from my chat with Max. Enjoy and feel free to direct any more questions this way. I may just have to talk to John about CF Football soon…

Can you give us some insight into Crossfit Football?
It takes the idea of Crossfit and takes it to a heavier domain. It is a different modality and can work for many more things. Like i was saying about the energy systems and working strength etc. It is kind of specific but there is definitely going to be spill over to other disciplines,
It takes Crossfit into the multi planer dimension, i like turning and twisting. John(Welbourn) likes the change of directions. We will not have different workouts for different positions. Its like the CF games in that i need to do the same stuff as you but then i have my strengths.
It will be periodized for the year with pre and post season stuff.
Rip is helping out with the starting strength.

The certification will have alot of programming and alot of hard work. We have some good criteria for coaching as well. I see it opening the door for the old school programs. We pulled it into Cal St Fullerton and it worked.
Alot of coaches are scared of rhabdo but its like complaining about your sciatica. Nobody really even knows what it is or if they have it.

If it doesn’t have a clean, its not a workout.
