Message: [QUOTE="BillSU, post: 1590759"] [FONT=Arial]Babers: We are going to play at a very quick rate. [B]The team will be conditioned unlike its ever been conditioned before.[/B] One thing that I have been concerned about is individual conditioning regarding our football team specifically running. Since I was an All State QB in NJ I know something about this suffering through initial post summer practice runs and drills. Running is the base of all conditioning. If you are not putting in 2-3 miles a day jogging before and or after practice, (and that includes the linemen coming into camp at 6’6” 300 lb.), building up to a good pace your base conditioning will suffer. But I believe with Babers SUFB will be one of the best conditioned teams in the country. Researching Bowling greens conditioning there are also various drills to increase endurance and speed, two of them are: [/FONT] [B][FONT=Arial][U]Two of Dino’s Drills[/U] (Easy Drills - hills or the Domes steps are not so easy)[/FONT][/B] [FONT=Arial] Depending on the size of your team, line the players up either in one or two straight lines. Begin jogging around the perimeter of the football field, or from goal post to goal post. Increase the difficulty of an otherwise ordinary jog by having the person at the back of the line sprint to the front at the coach's whistle. When that player reaches the front of the line, he then slows down to the jogging pace, and another coach's whistle signals the next player to run from back to front. Split your team into two groups and place each group on a separate goal line. Group A does 20 push-ups, on their coach's count, then sprints 100 yards to the other goal line. Meanwhile, at the same time, the other group, Group B, is doing 20 sit-ups on their coaches count before sprinting 100 yards. Group A then will do 19 sit-ups and sprint 100 yards as Group B does 19 push-ups and sprints 100 yards. Each group will work their way down to zero, alternating push-ups and sit-ups with 100 yard sprints in between. Some players who go through pre season running conditioning are going to shine, others, unless they continue to try and improve won’t and they will not be starting as a result. Listening to Dino and going to The Bowling Green site to research what they do is eye-opening. [B]Conditioning is not just about being in the weight room at 5:00 each morning it’s about what gets you lifting and helps you through lifting stations. Running improves the most important muscle you have – your heart and that gets stronger through daily runs. GOSU![/B][/FONT] [/QUOTE]
