Article with Videos - Miami guy has some fast feet - down the bottom of the article it mentions: "Your social media following, especially on Instagram, has grown rapidly in a short amount of time. When did that take off for you? [FONT=&]I made an Instagram last year. People told me I should create social media and post my workout videos. They said, "You have really good footwork and speed, maybe you can demonstrate that and see where it takes you." At first, I didn't want to do it. Because I'm not really too big on the whole social media thing. But nowadays, I understand social media and technology are the way of the world. It's the way of the modern world. [/FONT] [FONT=&]So I made it, and it might have been one of the greatest decisions of my life. It's opened up doors to so many opportunities that I have now. Especially with professional athletes. Yesterday was my first day working with a Miami Dolphin, Jeff Cumberland. That was super cool. It was Jeff Cumberland and Isaiah Pead (of the San Diego Chargers). It was awesome. They couldn't believe it themselves.[/FONT] [FONT=&]Clients want to get as much information about me as possible, and when I tell them I never played a down in my life, they freak out. Because I move like I played. I move my feet, I run routes, I run plays, like I played the game before. The most crazy thing about it is that I'm pretty much self-taught. I taught myself everything that I know about the game of football. I taught myself how to understand defenses, how to run a route, how to run a slant, how to catch a football, basically everything. I'm the type of person, this is what I do. Footwork is basically my life. [/FONT] How did you eventually start working with pro athletes? [FONT=&]A lot of people want me to help them. They come to me, they email me, they DM me, they call me, they text me, wanting for me to train them. They would like the quickest guy—arguably the quickest guy in the world—to show them how he does what he does. What does he do? What does he put himself through? Fortunately for me, I'm a people person. [/FONT] How would you describe your training style? What are you looking to improve in the athletes you work with? [FONT=&]My footwork, my agility drills, my workouts in the gym, everything you see on my Instagram—it has a purpose. It translates to every sport. When I work on my footwork, I work on several directions. Forward, backward, laterally. The main goal is how can I get there as quickly as possible? So what I really focus on is coming in and out of breaks as fast as possible. Accelerating from one position to another, then decelerating, then accelerating again. That's what I target. To me, that's what will separate you from competition. Not everyone works on fast-twitch muscles.[/FONT] [FONT=&]I'm very crazy, very unique, very innovative. A lot of stuff that you see me do, I had no influence from anyone. I discovered this on my own, so that's what I share with all of my athletes. It definitely works. I had Jeff and Isaiah tell me yesterday that they had never done footwork like that on the sand. And these are guys in the pros who have never done that. They told me they loved it. They felt tired after the workout, but if you feel tired, that's a good thing—it means you worked. I have over 200 clients in Miami now, and in just the last three months, I've worked with 10 professional athletes. Which is a blessing, it's just awesome. I'll make you a faster and quicker athlete, period."

Maybe we should sign him. Better yet maybe he should train Jakeem Grant who already has lightning fast feet.
One quirk with those videos is that you can't click the video itself to play them. You have to click the play button on the bottom left. If that doesn't work, there will likely be a compatibility issue with your browser/machine.
Interesting videos. 1). I don't know how much of what he's doing is genetic vs. trained. I imagine a bit of both, with genetics playing the much bigger role. That guy is like 5'5" it looks like (maybe less?). Having those short levers is a major advantage in terms of quickness. As he mentioned, prior to becoming "trained" he would receive compliments about his athletic ability. 2). It would be interesting to see any data/progress about his trainees. The health/fitness industry is littered with predators preying on the ignorant. People charge outrageous sums for really simple **** they could figure out themselves, like meal plans, lifting routines, personal training, etc... I'm not saying this guy is selling bull****, but after reading the article, a particular part stood out for me. The whole "I just happened to discover this crazy ability and developed a training regimen for it and now sell personal training." It reeks of classic bull**** you hear in that industry. If it did do him some good, hopefully he shared it with his teammates.
