Spring Practice Press Conference
- Thread starter Red Reign
- Start date
This is important.
I knew it!
Lack of institutional control.
All of Ferentz’ guys have their Velcro shoes pulled tight.
Two of the new guys out before the first practice? Sounds like the conditioning program is taking a heavy toll on the new comers.
Wasn't this something we had issues with last year that @ShortSideOption frequently mentioned? Same type of thing, or are these pre-existing?

We aren’t assessing the imbalances before kids get into our workouts and just throw them in. How mad would you be if you enrolled early and got put on the shelf for the entirety of spring before your first practice?
Unless these guys came in injured from something else.
But if they came in healthy, I would think that this type of assessment is a primary (if not elementary) part of a Division 1 Strength Coach’s essential job function.
Am I off base with my thinking?
And to answer your question, I’d be totally PO’d !

Trying to do too much, too soon.
Kids aren’t likely to tap out. My youngest has to have me or others put the brakes on his lifting constantly to protect his joints.
And I would expect our staff to have the knowledge and experience to know that as well. That: 1st year players may push too hard, thus will need extra attention/supervision to avoid injury. Even AFTER a comprehensive assessment and plan has been assigned.
Basically what you successfully did.

Its a fine line to walk. Even when you do it all right, with this many kids in the weight room you’re going to have soft tissue and joint injuries. I get pushing hard to maximize results, but I do have to wonder what role the crappy form we’ve seen in some of our world record BS lifts we’ve shown has to play in all of this.

So all Spring we'll have a QB who won't be the starter throwing to receivers who won't be the starters. Seems like an awesome way to perfect that uncanny link and precision timing necessary for superior play between QB and receiver ***checks fridge***, ***dumps freshly made Red Kool Aid down the drain***
