I've had the exact opposite results with regards to olympic vs traditional weightlifting to be honest.  There is no way a stiff athlete can perform cleans with tight hip flexors, rear delts, or wrists.  It also develops grip strength, something most traditional lifters seem to overlook big time.  Same holds true with squats -- I see a lot of guys putting 405 on the bar and not even getting close to parallel.  If an athlete can perform in the cage and perform olympic lifts properly, everything else tends to fall into place.  I am 36 and still try to do this stuff but have noticed I can't do them nearly as well as I used to, mainly because I am getting old and stiff.

I see a bunch of these bodybuilder types get their asses kicked in the gym I go to, mainly because they are only used to doing bench, lat pull down, curls and calling it a day.  At the end of the day, it's about getting explosive.  Will Hicks and company do an excellent job with the se kids and Shy will be in excellent hands.  I have some close friends that are in NFL front offices, and they only speak highly of our S and C program.  In fact, one of them went so far as to say "we never worry about kids from Syracuse being ready for camp.  Hicks always has those kids ready."
