New York Giants tight end Matt LaCosse looked to have carved out a role for himself during training camp in 2016 but a knee injury claimed his season. After a strong spring coming back from said injury, LaCosse credits a new training regimen for his offseason success.

Looking to come back stronger, LaCosse trained at TEST Sports Clubs in Martinsville, N.J., during the offseason, which helped him regain confidence in his knee.

“I think it completely changed the way I feel, the way I move and run. It’s a phenomenal facility,” LaCosse told Giants Wire. “Just coming off of my knee surgery from this year and coming back, I didn’t know how I was going to do in spring ball, but TEST just helped me get so much more confidence and so much more comfortable with my knee and my body and I was able to have a good spring ball because of how good I felt.”

TEST Sports Clubs is run by CEO Kevin Dunn and Geir Gudmundsen, director of football operations. They specialize in individualizing workouts for athletes which are specific to their needs and have had a long list of NFL players train there.

TEST has done pre-NFL Combine training with several NFL players including Joe Flacco, Damon Harrison, Patrick Peterson and Duron Harmon, among others.

LaCosse did his workouts with TEST Football Academy, the training wing of the club.

Working out with the team and a roster full of 90 players, it can be difficult to get attention from coaches in terms of the workouts. LaCosse feels the individualization of TEST allowed him to learn more about his body.

“Right now we have 90 guys, it’s really hard to get that individualized work,” said LaCosse. “It’s a numbers game, you cant have 90 strength coaches so I think when you got to TEST, you really break down your body and get very specific with your movements and what exactly you need to do to get better.”

Recovering from his knee injury was a big objective for him and the Illinois product has plenty more confidence in his movements after working at TEST.

“If anything, it helped my confidence, just with the movement training we do and the strengthening,” LaCosse said. “I didn’t even think about my knee once this offseason. That’s how good it felt.”

LaCosse credits Gudmunsen for coming up with different ways to work the stabilizers his knee, which has also given him more confidence in his movements.

LaCosse enjoyed a strong spring and much of it can be attributed to the workouts he did, which has helped him regain confidence in his knee. Now the 24-year-old will be using this confidence when he enters training camp at the end of July.
