oily hips | ˈoilē hips |
The ability to change direction quickly and efficiently.

Why Oily Hips? Because it’s my all-time favorite football scouting phrase, and that’s saying something! Football scouts, whew boy, they can turn a phrase with the best of them.

A deeper reason for the name, if you’re into that kind of thing, is the ability to quickly and efficiently change direction is just as important in life as it is on the football field. I just made that up, but you’ve got to admit it’s pretty good. Like, ninja monk sitting on a lonely mountainside contemplating the meaning of life good. Namaste.
