Washington Redskins Players Train with Israel Defense Forces
(Fox News)Trey Yingst - Two NFL players from the Washington Redskins trained with Israeli soldiers on Thursday. Adrian Peterson and Josh Norman completed obstacle courses and took lessons in Krav Maga at Wingate Institute in Netanya, Israel, before receiving a briefing about the military landscape. "It's amazing to get in there and train with these guys, because they are at the top of their game at being in combat," Norman told Fox News. One drill that stood out to the pair required 40-pound vests and a steep hill. "To go through some of the training and see the focus that it takes, the mental toughness...it just gives you a different appreciation for the training they do on a daily basis," Peterson said. IDF Major Roy Yovulznik said, "We are proud of what we do to protect Israel and to have the opportunity to share with these athletes, that play such an empowering and physical sport, the way in which we train IDF troops."
