Nutrition is important, extremely important, but 18-22 year olds can get bigger/stronger off of daily fast food. (For the record, not my recommendation)
A few posters are actually certified …, at least one believes the most important job of S&C is non-injury … I disagree. The most important job of S&C is to make an athlete stronger and faster and more technically proficient at their respective positions (the technical portion is shared with position coaches). Nutrition, like rest, are important for repair. Repair is important.
The excuse makers can continue to believe it’s recruiting (“we need better kids”), or nutrition, or shiny weights/weights room, or the real loser’s bugaboo — PEDs, but it’s the work, it’s the work, it’s the work it’s the work, it’s the work.
The combine has a lot of “events” that may not tell how good a football player someone is, but, in addition to e adshowing how genetically advantaged an athlete is, it may show how much work a kid has put in. I’ll feel more confident in Miami S&C when Miami players stopper showing up at the Combine to announce they’ll be ESSTparticipating at their Pro Day.
