I think the most important coach after the head coach is the get back coach.
Love it!
Our "get back" coach at Yale was the ATF of pretty much everyone. Had the job for years, and was beloved!

True and I agree.It wasn't as simple as just because they spend so much time with the team and get them in shape. It was explained more in that because of extra time, they essentially build the mentality and culture of the team. I buy it and it's clear the top coaches do as well with how much they value their strength coach.
Your analogy makes sense. Got to have the structure to build on, and it takes time to work, and belief among the team, to know that this is viable.I agree...and Manny said as much when first hired.
The only question/concern right now, especially if the # of injuries is above norm as others have posted, is whether we are working too hard?
Some guys were complaining about practices in shorts, etc and one of players that post here said to chill because can't go full speed all the time.
Structured "tapering" is as important to game-day performance as anything else imo. How many times have we seen "tired legs" and blame on "not training enough" where it is more often than not, overwork and/or bad nutrition and sleep cycles.
Your post reminded me that you can't turn a rowboat into a speedboat overnight without having some man overboard situations. Just have to make sure we minimize.
YES the summer will tell all
I'll also be glad when we can get back to practicing outdoors in the heat.
Ive never been a fan of practicing in AC comfort unless you really have to...or lightning is a real threat.
We need to be fully prepared, ....and in the best possible shape to win on August 24.
My guess is that it's going to be a real intense physical WAR....with no break being given to either team from the weather....so we better come ready
B/c of our lack of the Clemson supplements in our nutrition program . . .then why are we getting pushed around by pitt? wisconsin? boston college?
it's not easy, stop
