Velocity Sports Performance Trains Four 1st Round Picks In 2011 NFL Draft

April 29, 2011 - PRLog -- Velocity Sports Performance is excited to have trained four of the top athletes selected in the first round of the 2011 NFL Draft on Thursday, April 28th. Velocity trained athletes include the number two overall pick, Von Miller (Denver Broncos) – a Velocity customer since the 7th grade. Jake Locker, the 8th overall pick (Tennessee Titans), Ryan Kerrigan the 16th overall pick (Washington Redskins) and Nate Solder (New England Patriots) round out the 1st round draft class, all of whom trained with coach Ken Vick and his Velocity Sports Performance staff in the state-of-the art facilites in Orange County, CA.

Ryan Kerrigan the 16th overall pick by the Washington Redskins, said of his experience with Velocity Sports Performance, “Velocity has an excellent track record with guys going through the combine, you look at Clay Matthews, Donald Brown, guys like that – it really stood out in my mind as a place I wanted to train. They helped me prepare not only physically but mentally and I feel like I’m more prepared than ever to perform at my best.”

Nate Solder, the 17th overall selection chosen by the New England Patriots, shared why he trained with Velocity, “I chose Velocity Sports Performance to do my training because of coach Ken Vick first of all, I spoke with him and he was so knowledgeable that I knew this was the place to be.”

During their training for the upcoming NFL Draft, athletes experienced daily speed, power and strength sessions, along with personalized nutrition, physical therapy, and recovery services, position-specific work, mental training, and Combine-specific preparations for team interviews and the Wonderlic test.

Velocity Sports Performance is proud to have trained the athletes drafted on Thursday in the 1st round and are excited for the many other athletes who will be drafted in the upcoming rounds of the 2011 NFL Draft.
