    Aaron Feld, Rugby Guy and the meaning of life

    Woah, timeout. For my part, I never once came out and "dunked" on him or danced because "I called it." Read what I wrote in the same thread: I clearly acknowledged that I don't have enough evidence to make a causal link, only that the uptick is a cause for concern and it's something we should...

    I'll also add: his guys certainly didn't look slow when Duke beat the brakes off of us this season.

    Aaron Feld, Rugby Guy and the meaning of life

    I liked Feeley too, but everyone around here hated him because he wasn't able to turn guys like Pope into Megatron. "Our guys look small out there! Why are we so slow off the ball?!" Because he's a strength coach, not a wizard. He can't turn 3-stars into 5-stars. He did well with what he was...

    I promise, you didn't hurt my feelings. You gave a firm "recommendation" on learning how someone becomes a S&C coach to a guy on a national certification committee for strength coaches. Respectfully, maybe recognize you don't always know everything and don't always have to say something.

    I'm not sure how I missed this thread, and even forgot I posted in it lol. I'd like to point out that I first wrote the original thread on Dec 8th, 2021 where I also listed my concerns about injuries before anyone. Since I'm not really in the field anymore (although I maintain my education and...

    This is the right take, and I've said as much. The S&C coach can't make 3-star players into 5-stars. Sure, we can get into the nitty-gritty of elements of S&C programming, but the Strength Coach can only work with the players he's given.

    Aaron Feld, Rugby Guy and the meaning of life

    Swasey is a gentleman and I won't attack his character, but in terms of Strength & Conditioning he was very archaic and unfamiliar with how to properly design programs for teams. One of the ways he would judge the efficacy of his programs was to do the program himself 2-3 days ahead, then see...

    lol **** dude, sorry you feel that way. Actually, I criticized the BOSU ball vid back in the other thread where I profiled Coach Feld, before it was cool apparently: As others have said, there's a lot of subjectivity and history when designing S&C programs. I'm never gonna find a guy that I...
