The FlipSled crew is excited to welcome a new member from the Division 1 college ranks. The University of Wyoming has invested in six FlipSleds.
They know how important of a tool FlipSled is to any program.
More and more Division 1 and High School programs are adding FlipSled to their training regimen, and it's clear to see why.
All the reasons below, and more, are exactly why elite programs are using FlipSled to develop elite athletes.
Wyoming historically, as well as the whole Mountain West Conference, has been built on physicality.
This is essential to beating your opponent on every single rep.
Physicality is the ability to build and use force from the ground up, throughout the whole body. FlipSled helps build that by developing power, training explosiveness, and getting athletes to fully buy-in.
We had a couple of our guys head out to the University of Wyoming campus to chat with their coaching staff to see why they joined the FlipSled crew.
Wyoming’s Director of Sports Performance, Eric Donoval, told us that there was three main reasons their program needed this product.
By training with FlipSled, Wyoming is putting their linemen at a concrete advantage to win every single rep.
It allows athletes to develop explosiveness in their jump off the snap, which therefore provides a competitive edge in beating the opposition.
In today's college football landscape, winning the line of scrimmage is more important than ever. Athletes are more powerful and explosive than ever, which makes winning at the line that much more necessary. FlipSled makes it substantially easier to do just that.
It is so important that in training, you put your athletes in as many real-game situations as possible. If you can't simulate these types of scenarios, you have no chance to succeed when it's game time.
The FlipSled has three main movements, one of which is the CDF (Clean, Drive, & Finish), which allows athletes to directly simulate exploding into their block, using extreme force to drive a defender back several yards, and then finish the block by flipping the sled.
No other product on the market can offer such a direct application from training usage to in-game situations. That's exactly why Wyoming and more programs are moving to FlipSled.
There's always been a direct correlation between cultivating competition throughout your practices and players being willing to compete on the field. Wyoming football especially has always had players willing to compete.
By adding this innovative piece of football training equipment, they know that there's limitless drills and opportunities to add competition to their team's training. Drills like Push of War, Relay Races, and more (all can be found on FlipSled's youtube channel) all work on putting athletes in situations where they can build that competitive mindset.
The biggest, most elite programs are using FlipSled to develop talent that can succeed at the highest level. Wyoming is just another example of that.
This is for a very specific reason
Wyoming is a program that knows what it takes to develop physicality, build competition, and win every rep.
