Angelo Clinic Successful for NAC

Tuesday, July 6th, 2010

This year’s visit to the Angelo Football Clinic proved what NAC founders have been saying all along…  “that there is a need for consistent, accurate, credible – and verifiable data” in the football recruiting world.

Coaches from high schools and top colleges alike came by the NAC booth at the clinic and were shown results from all five regional high school combines we conducted in Texas this year. The feedback was all very positive.

“How do we get this?” one college coach asked.

“This is all free to the athletes and their families?” another high school coach inquired.

Questions and comments from every coach that had the opportunity to see what NAC is doing followed this trend. “We are excited about our showing at the Angelo Clinic. It feels good to get that kind of validation from some very influential D-1 college coaches,” remarked John Owen, one of NAC’s directors. “It lets us know we’re on the right track.”

The National Athletic Combine was started in 2008 by former NFL, NCAA, and High School coaches in collaboration with leading athletic technology providers who saw the need for a “standards-based” athletic combine, through which high school athletes could be evaluated fairly and accurately for college recruiters and coaches. Participation in NAC combines is free to athletes and their families.

The big names are coming to San Angelo

Sunday, March 28th, 2010

The speaker lineup for the 37th annual Angelo Football Clinic, set for June 16-18 in San Angelo, was recently released, and it reads like a who’s who of top high school, college and pro coaches.

What’s that got to do with the National Athletic Combine? Well, besides the fact that any collection of gridiron minds is a valuable resource, several of the directors of the clinic (including John Paul Young and Jim Hess) are also directors of NAC.

Angelo Football Clinic has been held for almost four decades and annually brings together high school coaches from all over Texas as well as Louisiana, New Mexico, Kansas, Oklahoma and other states to hear intense chalkboard sessions with big-name coaches from around the nation. The clinic, held at Angelo State University’s Junell Center, has become a staple of the offseason for the Lone Star State’s best prep coaches, and offers them a chance to meet, greet and keep up with longtime friends in the coaching community as well as shaking hands with the numerous college coaches who regularly visit.

Nick Saban. Mack Brown. Jason Garrett. All these coaches will be presenting in June. Meanwhile, veteran NFL coaches Larry Zeirlein and Rex Norris will also be speaking, as well as coaches from several major schools (Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, Oklahoma, Arkansas, SMU, Nebraska and more).

Here we go!

Wednesday, January 13th, 2010

Welcome to the initial post on our blog. Here, we’ll talk about a number of things related to scholarships, coaching, training and all manner of things, but the common thread will be football on all its levels (pro, college, high school).

Why is that? Well, first of all, because it’s our passion, and for the immediate future, it’s the sport that best adapts itself to a combine setting. But it’s also where our contacts lie, where our expertise lies, and where we think we can be most relevant immediately.

The men behind National Athletic Combine are the men behind a number of football enterprises, all of them directly or indirectly linked to the gridiron. Some of the founders of Angelo Football Clinic (www.angelofootballclinic.com) are our founders. The founders of doogiePage™ Player Profile Portal (www.doogiepage.com/playerprofile) are our founders. The founders of Inside the League (www.insidetheleague.com/itl) are our founders. So hopefully we can illuminate a lot of things that are of interest to people who, like us, have a passion for football.

We’re also happy to work with the finest technological tools in the industry, like Dartfish and Fusion Sport, as well as people with diverse backgrounds in working environments around the country and the world. We hope that is reflected in the events we hold in the near future, and the scholarships we’re able to facilitate as we go forward.

We’re glad you’re here. We’ll have plenty of material to keep you interested, so stick around.
