Two a day Practices

It is always interesting at this time of year to observe what I call “the Training Camp Effect.” In some ways it is the Bermuda triangle of sports. Athletes go into fall sport two a day or some times three a day practices and some never come out , and many who do are a shell of their former selves. Why? This is not a time to get them fit, it is time to sharpen and refine. If the true preparation work has not been done before this it can’t be done in ten days. This should be viewed as a time of specific preparation, a time to get game ready.Just observe the injuries that occur in tcollegiate training camps. I know one women's soccer team that lost two players to ACL injuries in the first day of camp! There is a better way.
