Ironsheik Posted May 3, 2004 Report Share Posted May 3, 2004 Amen, wardawg. That's exaclty what I'm trying to say. Strength coaches: who needs 'em? Great point. I agree w/ the posts on here that said games are won and lost in the off-season. Most of you guys are LOSING your games in the off-seaosn b/c you're lifting weights instead of doing something more worthwhile. I love seeing teams walk in w/ their undershirts on that say "300 lb. bench" or "200 lb. curl". I know right then that we're going to whip their butts. They spent all spring playing w/ dumbbells while we were out doing something beneficial. Man- you sum kinda moron if you thinbk stuff like that man!!!!! Evebody knows lifting is life in football!!!!!! People who be weak in their bodies be weak in their minds to. You gotta be strong in everything to dominate on da feild!!! Take me I skip class like 3 days a week cause I know I gots to get stronger. My coach been telling me if I dont gain 40 pounds I wont never see the feild. He tryin to help me gets a skolaship to go to scool. I jus wish we had a coach who could hep me little more then what we got now. To all you who workin out and keepin it real- peace out!!! To all you other foolz who weak, we gonna love playin you dawgs!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gocal Posted May 3, 2004 Report Share Posted May 3, 2004 I think strength coaches are very valuable for the kids to have. A coach in the weight room with some energy is always good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philofisher Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 That's about all thats necessary. High school kids have more important things to do than be in the weight room. They have to have some time to study and fool around with the girls. Some people make to big a deal out of weights. There are plenty of good high school players that aren't all juiced up. Our team just does push ups, sit ups, and a few laps around the field. Every now and then we'll get a little crazy and do some calisthenics.

pujo Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 I've researched training for kids, it has great benifits if done properly.Builds strong bones and prevents some diseases.Can't do power training, need to do high reps and light weights. Push ups and pullups are great for kids. Heck ,my 2 year old runs sprints and does things for agility.The experts say all kids need to exercise 1 hour a day.

I only wish that I could coach against a team that didn't have a good strength & conditioning program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pujo Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 (edited) I only wish that I could coach against a team that didn't have a good strength & conditioning program. Not going to happen very often these days. All the good programs do it year around.When you see these 90 to 0 scores, go check out the weight room.Its not an accident.

Philofisher Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 There is a college team in minnesota that has no weight program, does no sprints and never hits at practice and are one of the powerhouses year in and out- so do your research before slamming these philosophies.

wingman10 Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 I think that strenght coaches are an absolute nessecity. If you look at teams like Maryville, Riverdale, Germantown, Gallatin, etc. you will see that these teams have some of the best strenght coaches around. I don't think it's ironic that these powerhouses that dominate year in and year out are the strongest teams around. Another reason you need them is because a lot of the kids don't know how to lift weights properly. Some kids power clean with their backs bent over and not straight, which can cause serious injury. They need a strenght coach to show them how to PROPERLY lift without hurting themselves. Excellent point. Proper form is important, especially in cleans, squats and dead lifts. I have known plenty of kids get hurt by not having the proper form. They need a good strength coach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragoons Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 Clinton has one. Jody Cummins. Family has a serious weight lifting background. This can only help build when trying to build a strong foundation for years to come. GO DRAGONS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
