I started writing for fun when I was a kid but I didn't get serious about publishing until my 20s. After taking film and broadcasting in college I felt I'd found my true calling. I now write, direct, and produce ultra-low-budget movies. I've won two awards for my scripts; editor's choice for poetry and I'm published in paperback as well on Amazon. My first non-fiction book entitled, "I Know How You Feel..." is about my ten-year struggle with the death of my oldest son and how writing about it brought me back.

History and Evolution
THE JOURNEY OF THE Combine, a significant event in the world of sports, is as intriguing as it is inspiring. It all began in the late 1970s when two scouting organizations, BLESTO and National Scouting Service, decided to pool their resources to create a unified system for evaluating college football players. This marked the birth of the Combine as we know it today.
The early days of the Combine were characterized by simplicity and frugality. The event was held in different cities each year, with athletes being tested on basic skills like speed, strength, and agility. The testing procedures were rudimentary, with stopwatches and tape measures being the primary tools of evaluation. The players were not given any specific training or preparation for the Combine, and their performances were often inconsistent and unpredictable.
Over the years, the Combine evolved and became more sophisticated. In the 1980s, the event found a permanent home in Indianapolis, where it has been held ever since. The city's central location and state-of-the-art facilities made it an ideal choice for this national event. The testing procedures also underwent a transformation, with advanced technology being used to measure the athletes' skills and abilities accurately. The introduction of the 40-yard dash, vertical jump, and bench press tests gave the scouts a more comprehensive understanding of the players' physical capabilities.
The 1990s marked a significant turning point in the history of the Combine. The event started receiving widespread media attention, and the performances of the athletes were broadcasted on national television. This increased visibility transformed the Combine from a simple scouting event into a high-stakes competition. The players now had the pressure of performing not just in front of the scouts, but also in front of millions of viewers.
The new millennium brought further changes to the Combine. The event became more structured and organized, with specific training programs being designed to prepare the athletes for the tests. The players started hiring personal trainers and nutritionists to help them perform at their best. They also began studying the tests in detail, understanding the techniques and strategies that would help them excel.
Today, the Combine is a high-profile event that attracts the best college football players from across the country. The athletes undergo rigorous training and preparation for months, focusing on every aspect of their performance. The tests have become more complex and challenging, pushing the players to their limits. The Combine has become a platform for these athletes to showcase their skills and abilities, and a stepping stone towards their dream of playing in the NFL.
The evolution of the Combine reflects the changing landscape of sports and the increasing demands on athletes. It is a testament to the relentless pursuit of excellence, the constant drive to push boundaries, and the unyielding spirit of competition. As we look back on the history of the Combine, we can only marvel at how far it has come and anticipate with excitement where it will go in the future. Aspiring athletes can learn valuable lessons from the Combine's journey, understanding that success requires not just talent, but also hard work, perseverance, and the courage to face challenges head-on.
