It is all about context

When you say entirely out of context are you saying that this work won't carry over tot he football field or that he just hasn't developed the anaerobic threshold to handle this workout. I beleive in hard work and working hard and smart. I really like your approach to athletic development. I like doing this type of work with my kids in addition to work int he weight room. I am a football coach and a track coach and feel with our kids they need to lear how to work hard and push themselves and be pushed a little further than they are use to. I ti s a shame the football coach isn't embracing the fact that youa re strength training your athletes. In our building, outside of football, nobody understands the importance of strength training, or they jsut aren't willing to put the time into doing it.
Obviously these folks do not know who you are Vern! Which explains why you are with the volleyball team and NOT the football team.
Obviously the best athletes on a football field are the cheerleaders!
Yes...Vern you don't understand!!! American Football players are the best condition athletes in the WORLD. So well physically conditioned that I was wondering if the American Football players (collegiate/pro) can stay on the field for 80 minutes...such a Rugby match.
Unfortunately, we get to drink the Kool-Aid...that American footballers are the best in the WORLD.
T-man
When I was speaking of cheerleaders I wasn't talk
RAH..RAH..BOOM...BOOM.
