Videos of Ikei Performance Athletes NFL Proday Workouts

Each year Ikei Performance accepts 10 athletes into their NFL Combine & Draft Preparation Program. From January-March these athletes dedicate their life to preparing for their NFL Workout Day. Months of hard work and sacrifice will be determined by one day of performance and two days of anticipation. The 2009 NFL Draft is only a week away and lives will be changed forever. Scheduled to take place at Radio City Music Hall in New York City on April 25-26, the NFL Draft will transform top amateur college players into professional athletes and establish a dream come true for many, including several Ikei Performance Athletes. As their coach I would like to share with you the outcome of the intensity, commitment, sacrifice, dedication, discipline and hard work these athletes made in preparation for the NFL Workout Day.

Check out these videos of Ikei Performance Athletes performing at their best.

University of Hawaii NFL Proday Workout Results - Ikei Athletes Continue to Impress Scouts

University of Hawaii NFL Proday Workout Results

Our 2009 NFL Combine & Draft Preparation training program has come to a close with the final proday workout being held yesterday at the Home Depot Center in Carson, CA for the University of Hawaii athletes. Four Ikei Performance athletes were on hand to perform in front of NFL Scouts, DT-Josh Leonard, DT-Vaka Manupuna, DE-Francis Maka & S-Jacob Patek. Leonard & Maka recently finished their career with Hawaii while Patek’s last season was a year ago. Manupuna played at the University of Colorado but was granted permission to participate and Oregon State University Offensive Lineman Jeremy Perry also from Hawaii was on hand and spoke with several scouts but did not participate in drills.

Ikei Performance athletes impressed scouts and coaches with their performances. Both Leonard and Manupuna had record breaking performances with 41 reps in the 225 lbs bench press test, while Patek & Maka tied for the highest vertical jump for the day.
