Innocept Visits the Fighting Irish

Well I'm a little late getting this post up because we've been so busy since we got back from Indiana.  Wow, what an amazing time at the Notre Dame Coaches Clinic last week!  I really want to thank Ryan Grooms and the staff at Notre Dame for hosting the event and their amazing hospitality while we were there.  Not only did the clinic provide us with a great opportunity to show off the Fumble Pro to all the attending coaches, we also go to attend all the social events and see the locker room at the storied Notre Dame Football Stadium.  Not to mention, we got to attend two practices - one at their indoor facility, and one at the outdoor fields.

We even got to show the product to running backs coach Tony Alford, and not to brag, but I think he was pretty impressed!  Let's just say that Notre Dame running backs will be getting to know the Fumble Pro pretty well when they resume practices this summer.

I also wanted to thank Paul "Wilkie" Wilkinson from Sport Star USA and Frank Steele from Hudl for all their help and advice.  People like them really make the whole football community feel like a family!

We are busy preparing to leave early Friday morning for Phoenix, where we will be showing the Fumble Pro at the AzFCA Clinic and are looking forward to another successful event.

Here are some of the sites we got to see during our trip:

Notre Dame's Golden Dome

 The Four Horsemen

 National Championship Trophy

The Fumble Pro Goes Pro

Yesterday the Innocept team had the opportunity to head to Jacksonville to work with pro football running back Eric Kettani.  Eric and our company President Matt met during their college football years at the U.S. Naval Academy, where Eric became the second player in school history to rush for more than 2,000 yards, and was also the second player to be invited to the Senior Bowl. Eric currently plays for a professional football team (for legal reasons we are not able to print the team name, however google Eric Kettani if you don't already know him, and you can find out for yourself).  Eric's current obligations to the US Navy might prevent him from playing this year, but he is waiting to hear back about the appeal to grant him leave so he will be able to fulfill both his dream of serving his country, and playing professionally during the regular season.

The purpose of our meeting with Eric was to shoot some footage we could use to both promote and demonstrate the Fumble Pro.  Although Matt had told Eric about the product, this was Eric's first opportunity to see and use it in person.  Jimmy had the great idea to make sure Eric did not see or use the Fumble Pro until we were filming.  This was my first chance to see the reaction of someone outside our personal circle and I have to say, it was awesome, and I'm so glad we were able to capture his expression!  There is no doubt by the look on Eric's face the first time the Fumble Pro was engaged that it had a lot more force than he had initially anticipated, and at the end of the drills he mentioned the ball had not only given his arms a good workout, but that using the Fumble Pro had an authentic feel to what he experiences both during games and during practices where his opponents are trying to force him to fumble by hitting the ball with their helmets or fists.  Eric was so impressed by the Fumble Pro that he wanted to buy his own to work out with and take with him up to his teams practice.  As much as we would love for him to make our first pro player purchase, Eric will be receiving a ball on us once our next shipment arrives mid-April as our way of saying thanks for his time and feedback.

We thank Eric Kettani again for helping us out yesterday, but more importantly we thank him for his service to our country and wish him continued success with his football career!

We will let you know once we have our video ready and post it.
