Field Spray

A metered pump in an amber bottle, in a kraft carton. Apply to the jock, wait five minutes, play the fourth quarter. That is the whole regimen.

Plain outer mailer

No branding, no description, no Coach. What is printed on the carton stays inside the box.

Monograph formula

An over-the-counter drug, not a cosmetic. Made to the FDA monograph by a registered facility.

Nothing sold yet

The roster is an enrollment notice, not an order form. You will be told the date before you are asked for anything.

The method

Three steps. The third is the one people get wrong.

01

Open

Uncap the bottle. Prime the pump once.

02

Apply to the jock

Even coverage. Nothing heroic.

03

Wait five minutes

Do not rush step three. Coach is watching.

Numb Nut November

Everyone else sits the season out.

We run camp. Thirty days, one drill a day, a certificate at the end and equipment in the post. The roster closes on 31 October and Coach does not repeat the warm-up.

From the trainer's office

“A tired jock is a liability in the fourth quarter. Take care of the jock and the jock takes care of you.”

Coach

Conditioning Division, 14 seasons

“Nobody remembers how you started. They remember how you finished.”

Squad Captain

Class of '74

“The first quarter is not the game. Pace, hold, finish — in that order, every time.”

Questions nobody asks out loud

The registrar answers.

What is actually in it?

Benzocaine in a water-soluble base. It is an over-the-counter drug, not a cosmetic, made to the FDA monograph for this category. The full formulation, the directions and the Drug Facts panel are printed on the carton. Read them before use.

How do I use it?

Open. Apply to the jock. Wait five minutes. Coach will tell you that the third step is the one people get wrong, and Coach is right.

Why five minutes?

Because it is five minutes. That is what the five minutes is for. Nobody has ever regretted waiting. Coach has watched a great many people regret not waiting.

Will the package say what it is?

No. It ships in a plain outer mailer with no branding and no description on the outside. Your postman learns nothing.

When does it ship?

Nothing ships yet. Camp runs through November and graduates are issued equipment first. Signing the roster costs nothing and commits you to nothing — you will be told the date long before you are asked for anything.

Is this a real company?

Numbnuts Athletic Co., Conditioning Division, established 1974. Make of that what you will.

Who is Coach?

Coach does not do interviews.
