San Jose State’s James Orth has great tryout with 49ers

james orthOn Wednesday James Orth had an impressive workout with the 49ers at their Santa Clara facility. The San Jose State Free Safety is looking to secure a free agent spot with an NFL team. It was a big turn around from his previous pro day performance at San Jose State just one month ago. He did’nt run well in the 40yd dash posting only a 4.79. He gave me a call and wanted to make a change from his previous trainer. I previously had worked with James while he was in high school attending Central Catholic in Modesto.

The last SJSU defensive back to combine prep at Gamespeed was Dwight Lowery who was drafted by the Jets in 2008.

We pretty much only had three weeks to get ready for the 49er combine. James came in and worked hard. He’s a very disciplined athlete and knows how to think things through which is important in learning proper techniques. Fast forward 8 sessions of speed training, shuttle work, L-drill work and movement skills and he blazes a 4.57 40 yard dash and nails the shuttle and L-drills. That’s a .22 drop in just […]

Coach Thigpen enters race to crown worlds fastest man over age 40.

Those who know me best know above all else I’m a competitor and live for the challenge.  2013 will present one of my best challenges to date. Its a race to crown the world fastest sprinter. Sorry Usain Bolt its for those of us over 40 years old. But were no slouches on average we can all run a 4.4 or better in the 40yard dash. The race is scheduled for March and my trainings been going well for weeks. Including myself we have the top five ranked sprinters in this category. The event has invited the top eighteen. That will mean running a heat to qualify for the final.  This makes it interesting because at our age its not just being fast but staying healthy. It wont be easy I’m seven years older (I’m 48) than my competition in most cases. It will be fun, the venue is at my alma mater of San Diego State. I’ve had one tune up race a month ago, a 60m dash which I won at an all comers meet. Tomorrow I’ll run another tuneup, the 100m at Cal Berkley. I’ll post updates as the the date approaches.
