My Martial Arts training has also helped me understand how to hit an opponent with an open hand and redirect a big body where I want him to go. Before Martial Arts I wasn't a very good football player and I guarantee you that now when I do play football I am always the first picked.
You don't understand how effective this training can be. In fact I have seriously been considering contacting the Saints FO. I have taught at the University level as well as various police and sheriff's departments.
I'm not bragging, I just want you to understand that this can and does benefit the people who can comprehend these skills.

I comprehend the skills just fine. I have a blue sash in Wushu. And I played football in HS in a very good program. So I do comprehend the skills. And please tell me you didn't compare playing organized football with whatever is it that you get picked first to play.

This is getting ridiculous. Being a better athlete will help you play when playing any sport, but practicing one sport is not going to give you better skills at another sport.

You people make it sound as if football drills don't make you a better athlete.

Funny that, at the highest levels (NFL, UFC), there are a lot of football rejects doing MMA, but no MMA rejects playing football.
