The Breakfast Club comes to Perform24
What is The Breakfast Club?
The Breakfast Club is a long-standing program between The Players Trust of the NFLPA (NFL Players Association) and EXOS. Historically, it’s a six-week program built to give former players the opportunity to train together and to recreate that “locker room” atmosphere.
The Breakfast Club is an extension of the NFLPA’s Intensive Restorative Training program. This program aims to enhance the lives and lifestyle habits of former NFL players. The Breakfast Club is a collaborative effort that includes multiple professionals to deliver specialized training, physical therapy, and nutrition consultations.
When was the Breakfast Club?
In 2023, The Tampa Breakfast Club ran from January 9th to February 17th.
What was Perform24’s role?
As The Players Trust and EXOS have expanded the Breakfast Club across the country, they have searched for local facilities with which to collaborate. Their objective is to provide this resource in areas where there is a high population of retired NFL athletes.
Perform24 is uniquely designed to accommodate an initiative like this. We hosted the six-week program. This included dedicating space to the physical therapists, chiropractor, and dietician, and we designed and executed the training programs for the athletes.
Takeaways
The Breakfast Club was an honor.
Ultimately, I was extremely impressed with everyone involved.
EXOS and The Player’s Trust went above and beyond with their dedication to initiate and organize the program. We are thrilled they have decided to come back and serve the Tampa market. Additionally, the resources that they provided the athletes was truly world class.
The team of therapists (Ryan Hosler, DC, Parmis Rezvani, DPT, and Shannon Palmer, RD) that EXOS selected were some of the top in their field. We were fortunate to have them in our facility for a few weeks.
The athletes were a blast to have in. Not only did we have measurable progress with their physicality throughout the six weeks, but we also gave them a place to interact and reconnect. The NFL is a tightly knit community, and providing an opportunity for them to come in together was a great time.
And finally, our regular Perform24 community was A+. I’m proud of the culture we’ve built. Thank you to our Perform24 clients for being open and welcoming to a short-term group of new people.
This was a team effort all around. Well done.
