A strength coach can do little to prevent some injuries.
Typically shoulder injuries are the result of poor technical performance and physical error.
Knee injuries come and go.
I do have concern about the high number of what I think are fatigue related injuries.
The legs do look tired. I was back through town, and discovered that after some time off during the bye week, three staff ran the stuffing out of the boys. In my brief time home, I heard complaining about sore legs, running, and I am sorry to say, a biwast of wtf from young freshman and sophomore players that I saw out and about (one bunch was talking about transfer rules,)
My fear is that we are entering the second part of the season with the wrong physical and mental outlook.
Jebus H Christ. If what you say is true, that really pisses me off. Today's "D1" athletes are so fucking spoiled. They've won one game this year. Hell, if I were Collins I would run them all the time too. SPOILED brats! That's what they are. What would they act like under Bear Bryant?
The best way to get in shape for a football player is to do what you do during a game. During the season, the conditioning should consists of a fast paced practice, getting multiple reps, sprinting in and out of huddles, practicing situational football and never walking on field between plays or between stations! You do NOT get better by running just for the sake of running. That is punishment not practicing your craft! Make better use of practice time by fixing the issues that are happening during plays. Especially coaching decisions! And by the way, a Bear Bryant team today would get an ass whoppin' against today's elite programs. Punishment does not lead to correction; correction leads to correction!
thank you
