Message: [QUOTE="hoopsupstate, post: 3053608, member: 13"] I helped in a program that won seven straight state championships in cross country. That coach encouraged his runners to play other sports in the winter and summer. They had very few injuries. When he left, the next coach continued the programs running success, but he encouraged year long running. His players had multiple stress fractures. A young athlete isn’t strong enough for the constant pounding of the same muscles and bones. Similar success, but different philosophies. [/QUOTE]
