Message: [QUOTE="javadoc, post: 192628, member: 338"] It is not a fear of competition. A good analogy would be weightlifting. How successful are you going to be by working with more weight than you can actually lift? Sets of 0 reps. You start with what you can do, enough to strain yourself by the end. You get stronger with time. Recruits love competition, sure, but they also love a winner. Going 5-7 every year or worse because we overschedule - given the reality of where we are, which cannot be whitewashed or wished away - and keep changing coaches because we aren't winning, will kill us as a program. Set the competition based on your situation as a program. Same as choosing weight for weightlifting. [/QUOTE]
