Message: [QUOTE="BillSU, post: 1618418"] [FONT=Arial]Are you or have you ever been an athlete, played very competitive HS / college FB, run track / done triathlons or competitive swimming / other? Conditioning plays so much a part of how you perform. Having been there I know how difficult getting into the best mental and physical shape of your life can be but it will be vital for anyone wanting to play for Dino Babers. Check out the first video posted below by retro 44 about BG’s conditioning program. They don’t show the running but I’ve read about some of Dino’s drills and they’re very tough but get positive results.[/FONT] [U]From Bowling Green’s S& C philosophy - quoting Retro 44[/U] Further demonstrating the strong affinity between athletics and academics is Director of Strength & Conditioning Sean Edinger, who also happens to have a master’s degree in Sport Psychology. [I][COLOR=#ff8000][U]“[/U]Every day we’re asking the athletes to strain and put forth a high amount of effort, and that can be very uncomfortable. We work to create the right environment and atmosphere for high performance as well as health and wellness but sometimes your body just isn’t up for it.”.” -- Director of Strength & Conditioning Sean Edinger[/COLOR][/I] “We’re not so much strength coaches as effort coaches,” observed Edinger. “Every day we’re asking the athletes to strain and put forth a high amount of effort, and that can be very uncomfortable. We work to create the right environment and atmosphere for high performance as well as health and wellness, Often, that’s where nutrition coaches Carrie Hamady and Chris Haar are invited to come into the picture. “The goal is to help the athletes to perform at their best for games or meets, but also at practice, Hamady said. “If individuals feel their performance is slipping or could be better, it’s probably a good time for an evaluation of their fueling practices by a nutrition coach.” [FONT=Arial]His conditioning and practices will be carried into the SU FB program. I hope the team will be able to accept and perform to a higher level than ever before because this new conditioning and practice effort will be the foundation of every player’s physical stamina and game. No more burning out or hitting the wall in the 4th quarter. I don’t know how Will Hicks is going to look at all this but I think he‘d better be ready. I‘ll bet you will not see anymore 350 pound linemen with big belly’s in this program. It will take time but I’ll bet those big boys are working on this now. Nutrition and conditioning is going to cull out those who are not up to speed. What’s your opinion? Great! GoSU![/FONT] [/QUOTE]
