Football Receiver Training: How To Train For The One Handed Catch

Not all passes are perfect chest high spirals. How are football receivers training for the one handed catch?

They can practice with friends or during football practice. Another way is to lay on the back and toss the ball in the air and catch it with one hand.

However there is a far more effective way to develop a soft hand with strong fingers to make that great one handed catch.

The answer is The PassBack Football. Receivers training with The PassBack Football can get up to 20 catches per minute. Far more than they can at football practice or doing pass catching drills with friends.

Football receivers can train alone or with friends. Change the degree of difficulty in the passes and control the velocity of the ball.

Receivers training with The PassBack football will develop better football skills, stronger hands and make more one handed catches.

Will Some High School And College Games Be Canceled

Today on the radio talk show, Money Talk, a sound bite of the President of Opec was played.
He said that the Saudis would increase oil production by 200 thousand barrels pr day.

He then went on to say, the price of a gallon of gasoline in America is way too low. Americans should be paying the same price as Europe. He claims these low prices enjoyed by Americans does not promote energy conservation.

Add this to Chevron shutting down a Nigerian refinery do to attacks on a pipeline, we can see oil prices shooting higher tomorrow Monday June 23, 2008.

With prices skyrocketing more for both fuel and food, will this football season be marred by canceled games because travel costs are just prohibitive?

Personally I can see that happening in the conferences west of the Mississippi. Many of the colleges are less affluent than many of their eastern and southern counter parts. Their away games cant be reached by bus. Plus the cost of diesel fuel for buses will by unaffordable.

Rather than sit here and point fingers we Americans need to focus on solutions. What can ease our current pump pain price. How will we stay warm in the winter and buy food at the same time?

I support uncapping and using the thousands of capped oil wells we have nation wide. Drilling more wells and developing alternative fuel sources. We need better mass transit methods that can run on natural gas instead of oil. Seattle, Washington is doing that with great success.

The auto industry needs to improve and make more hybrids. They have the skills and technology to make it happen.

We can and should be building nuclear power plants and oil refineries, as President Bush suggested, on our abandon military posts. France has the technology to help us play catch up. They recycle their nuclear waste making it almost harmless while reducing its size.

Instead of finger pointing, this nation needs to pull together both in the private sector and the govt. sector and make viable solutions real.

As citizens we need to vote on November 4, 2008 for those that share our views. Under the age of voting? Then make your voice heard by campaign for those candidates that share your vision.

I have been told that one letter written and mailed to public official is given the weight of 100 voters. Now is the time for us all, regardless of age, to write our elected officials and the candidates, ask them the tough questions, tell them what we want. Make them respond.

Passback Football

We have another new and exciting product the PassBack Football. It is great football training equipment that can be used by both quarterbacks and receivers.

What makes this football training aid so exciting is that it doesn't require other people, so the athlete can work out alone. There are no cords or attachments to get tangled up. All that is needed is the Passback Football and a wall.

The Passback Football allows the quarterback to practice his delivery and the ball bounces right back to him, the catching strengthening his fingers, benefiting the quarterback two ways, stronger fingers and more passing reps.

Receivers also can benefit several ways from training with Passback Football. Like the quarterbacks they can train alone just using the football and a wall. Receivers can throw the ball at different speeds , similar to what they are used to in the game, training their catching skills to real life catching situations. Developing that hand to eye coordination. Not only that, they practice catching with just the fingers strengthening them for softer hands.

Receivers and quarterbacks check out the short video, see what the PassBack Football can do for you.

Receivers, Great Catch and the Passback Football compliment each other, using both can improve hand to eye coordination, stronger fingers and softer hands.

Receivers: The Catching Clinic You Wear

We all know the best receivers have the most focus and softest hands. The ball is caught with the fingers, not the palm or heel of the hand.

We have a new product for receivers to help develop those soft hands, making more catches. Great Catch is what you have been looking for.

Great Catch is the receivers clinic you wear. Placing the elastic bands over your hands, puts two small tennis balls in the palm of your hand. Making it impossible to use any part of the hand other than the fingers to catch the ball.

The benefit this offers receivers is it not only strengthens the fingers, it creates more awareness and focus on catching the ball with the fingers, till it becomes second nature.

It is being utilized across the country from junior high through the pros to develop the soft hands athletes need to become successful receivers. Plus it is affordable football training equipment. At $24.99 a pair you have nothing to lose and more great catches to make.

Great Catch

Gasoline and football

Gasoline prices are soaring and no apparent relief is in site.

Congress is working against us, keeping prices high. Last week a senate subcommittee killed a bill that would permit the expansion of off shore drilling. The voting followed party lines, 9 Democrats voted against the bill 6 Republicans voted for the bill.

We have thousands of capped wells ready to produce if the Government would allow. Yet they stay pat on their position while our economy goes in the tank.

People are paying more and getting less food. Families are in trouble, losing their homes and unable to feed themselves.

As we approach the upcoming football season, what is in store for we the fans? Will ticket prices soar? Will for some schools games be canceled because of travel costs.

If things continue as they are, I can see some colleges dropping football all together. The price to travel and buy food will make it an untenable deal.

The most obvious team facing soaring travel costs is Hawaii? What will they do, half their games are on the main land. Their travel costs will be astronomical, and how will they get out of conference teams to come there for games, short of picking up the travel expenses them selves.

Unless something is done to correct this current fuel crisis the landscape of college football could forever be changed. Less wealthy schools with marginal football programs may very well drop the sport. What other choice will they have and will we see the same situation carry over to hoops.

Without stepping on any ones toes, one solution is to write your congressmen and senators tell them what you want them to do in relation to our newest fuel crisis. One mailed letter is considered the equivalent of 100 voters.

Now is the time to write our congressional leaders, tell them what we want or that they will not like what they hear from us on November 4, 2008

What not to take to the Olympics

Recently The State Department issued a warning to all American officials, athletes, trainers and tourists traveling to China for The Summer Olympics. Be careful what computer and tech equipment you take to the games.

They are concerned the Chines Govt. will hack into your laptops planting both bugs and viruses. Enabling the Chines Govt to wreak havoc on American computer networks as well as steal information from trade secrets to indentity theft.

What our govt, suggests for those traveling to the games. Buy second hand computers and digital cameras. Products you will use one time only and keep them clean of all personal and business related data. They also suggest to buy these products that are not made in China. Seems they issued an earlier warning that chips, and computers made in China were being exported with viruses and bugs already installed.

Word to the wise, heed our Govt.'s advice. Even better would be to contact the United States State Department directly and get their most current suggestions on how to protect yourself from the Chinese Government when visiting Beijing for this years Olympics.

This Season In Sports

So far this year of 2008 we have seen alot in the world of sports.
We have seen a woman win her first Indy Car race. Finaly a door knocked down proving gender is not an issue in race car driving, that winning just comes down to team work and good driving skills.

On the college side of off season football we have seen players arrested, suspended and by LSU coach Les Miles kicked off teams for actions that digrace the athlete and his school.

The most notable to me, the player from the Florida Gators using a dead womans credit card. The way the story reads, he had to have been at the scene of her wreck and stolen the credit card off her dead body or from her purse.

When are todays college athletes going to learn, the rules apply to them like they do everyone else? Why cant they see what they throw away with these criminal actions.

I salute the Bob Stoops and Les Miles of the world, they put their own reputation, that of their school and the team above prima donna football players that can harm the the school bringing down the wrath of the NCAA. They have kicked off starters for infractions that violate only NCAA rules to criminal actions.

Barry Bonds troubles dont seem to go away. Now we have a crooked pro basketball ref becoming a celebrity while making accusations against the NBA.

Judging from the officiating during these play offs, the ref does have credibilty. would the NBA do as he suggests, making the playoffs run longer, generating more dollars at the gate and on tv, in todays world of sports it seems so.

Sports should be a bastion for honest athletic competition not what in many cases what it has become today.
