SportsCage football\u00a0analyst Glen Suitor is impressed by\u00a0Trevor Harris<\/a>‘ discipline and elite preparation heading into his 14th CFL season.<\/p>\n

“I strongly suggest people listen to that part,\u00a0training your mind and how important it is to be confident enough to ask for assistance in that area. That’s\u00a0been something that people have been reluctant to do, athletes reluctant to do because you might get labelled or whatever and nowadays it’s commonplace,” Suitor said to SportsCage host Barney Shynkaruk.<\/p>\n

“It’s so important when, as Trevor mentioned,\u00a080 percent\u00a0of the game at the highest levels is from the shoulders up.\u00a0Why not spend the time to strengthen that part of your whole package?\u00a0As you would\u00a0the physical part.”<\/p>\n

In 2025, Harris led\u00a0the Riders to\u00a0a\u00a0Grey Cup win, defeating the Montreal Alouettes 25-17 to earn\u00a0their fifth CFL title in franchise history. After the game, he\u00a0was named the championship game\u00a0MVP. The 39-year-old\u00a0started\u00a016 regular season games for Saskatchewan last year, completing 74 percent of his passes for 4,549 yards with\u00a024 touchdowns\u00a0and 11 interceptions.<\/p>\n

Suitor played in the CFL from 1984 through 1994. The\u00a0evolution of sports science has changed from\u00a0his perspective\u00a0compared to Harris and current athletes.<\/p>\n

“The late eighties, mid-nineties were sort of the beginning of the core training,\u00a0the different types of techniques,\u00a0taking care of your body in different ways and how important massage therapy even is,\u201d Suitor recalled.<\/p>\n

\u201cThose kinds of things that we thought were sort of the luxury things that you did on holidays at that time, go and have a few beers,\u00a0then go work out, running banks…\u00a0I remember watching those videos of different NFL guys running banks and things like that and thinking,\u00a0‘Let me try that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Suitor compared\u00a0the real life\u00a0evolution in training for athletes with the Rocky movie franchise.<\/p>\n

“When Rocky came out, everyone was looking at how Rocky was training as opposed to Apollo Creed\u00a0and everyone started training that way,\u201d Suitor said \u201cNow it is so in-depth,\u00a0the science behind it, the studies, the trainers, and the professionals that are specifically there to help you mentally or to help you work on your rotation, arm speed, and all of those things for quarterbacks. It really has changed in a big way and in a good way.”<\/p>\n

In other Riders<\/a> news, the team was nominated for the inaugural Ted Goveia <\/a>award alongside the Calgary Stampeders and\u00a0Hamilton Tiger-Cats.<\/p>\n

“Ted passed away, sadly.\u00a0He had a great history in Canadian football within the management, football ops, GM, and things like that,” Suitor said.<\/p>\n

“I’m not sure who is all involved in the actual voting on this award. I think it is each team’s football ops group that is voting for it.\u00a0It’s about time, in fact, it’s way overdue that the head of football ops and the rest of the team in that area, not just the individual, not just Jeremy O’Day, but his whole staff, like Kyle Carson and the rest of the group, they’re all part of this award. It’s not necessarily an individual award, it’s a group award for football ops, and I think the Riders are front-runners.”<\/p>\n

The winner of the award will be announced in Edmonton on Wednesday, March 25.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SportsCage football\u00a0analyst Glen Suitor is impressed by\u00a0Trevor Harris‘ discipline and elite preparation heading into his 14th CFL season.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":254791,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[437],"tags":[49,48,521,522,520,214868,82],"class_list":["post-553996","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cfl","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-canadian-football-league","tag-canadianfootballleague","tag-cfl","tag-cflsaskatchewan-roughridersgrey-cuptrevor-harrisglen-suitor","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/553996","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=553996"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/553996\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/254791"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=553996"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=553996"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=553996"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
