Written by Carver Hammond | Jun 19, 2026

Huge school after huge school, FlipSled is building quite the resume of historic power 4 programs. The latest is Vanderbilt University out of the SEC.

The Commodores invested in 8 FlipSleds in order to take their program to an even higher level.

There are a million reasons to add FlipSled to your program, and Vanderbilt understands that.

 

What Their Coaches Had to Say

We took a trip down to Nashville, Tennessee to see their brand new FlipSleds on campus, and got some time to chat with their coaches about their investment in our product.

Their Assistant Director of Sports Performance, Ian Bures, worked with FlipSleds at his last school and was adamant to bring them over to Vanderbilt. He used 5 specific words to describe his experience with FlipSled:

  • Gritty
  • Hard
  • Versatile
  • Challenging
  • Competitive

He also noted the development he saw in his athletes by using FlipSled:

“We’ve seen tremendous growth with our line of scrimmage and their play, so we’re really excited to have the opportunity to utilize these this summer to improve our level of performance.”

 

Build Strength on the Line of Scrimmage

FlipSled is the tool trusted by Vanderbilt and dozens of other division 1 programs to build their line of scrimmage dominance.

FlipSled has a unique emphasis on powerful leg drive, hip explosion, and violent finishing. By combining these three things, more and more schools are building elite, championship level linemen.

Unlike any other product in the football equipment market, FlipSled gives players the ability to fully simulate real plays. By training the FlipSled clean, drive, and finish movement, you can teach linemen to hit their block, drive a defender back, and pancake the opponent.

Create a Competitive and Challenging Environment

By getting FlipSled, Vanderbilt Football is creating a team culture that is built on competition and pushing themselves.

With FlipSled specific drills like Push of War and FlipSled Chase, you can put athletes against each other to build buy-in and competitiveness.

In order to build a program in which athletes play for the guy next to them, you must have some aspect of competition in your training. If competition is something your team lacks, FlipSled is the only place you need to look.

If you’re looking to build stronger, more explosive, and more competitive athletes, FlipSled is what you need for your program. This innovative football sled is exactly what can take your players to a higher level.
