[quote name="speechless" post="956298" timestamp="1296225978"] really?  so your principal tells you what to teach in your classroom everyday and what days to teach it on? [/quote] The State does. ;D ;D ;D

Why have a AD if every coach on the staff is allowed to make their own decisions and rules? There has to be someone in charge or anarchy will follow.

[/quote] Technically, that would be a forfeit - and yes, it would be a W. 8) [/quote] Good post, that is original, true and funny. You covered all the bases.

Why are you guys debating this? This would not be a discussion 10 or more years ago. What ever happen to the good old days when parents let the coaches coach and the teachers teach? I don't see coaches on here asking, why do you raise your kids the way you do, why is your child disrepectful or why won't your child do what it takes to get better? The kids that want to get better are a special breed. It is born not developed. Why do we start our kids playing sports at 4 years old? Wait, I know because parents have big dreams for their kids. Maybe just maybe my kid will be in that .0001% of the kids who get a scholarship through sports. Why all the fuss about weight lifting? If your kid does not like it, then let them quit. Personally I would tell my child, do what the coaches say. Life is lived by your actions, words have no value if there is no subtance.

What position does she play?

I have to agree with your picks "Silverstreak".

On the flipside most coaches would prefer a player with upper and lower bodystrength, flexibility   developed fast twitch muscle fibers that lead to speed and power and a good body comp. I believe all of those attributes can lead to success in most sports male or female. And it is very difficult to accomplish these things without a complete workout . regiment that includes strength training.  I just talked to Albert pujols and he told me he hits all of those bombs off the lastros because of zumba. Debate settled. [/quote] Glad you and Albert were able to resolve this issue so quickly.  I wonder if Albert believes his ability to properly time the ptich, swing the bat and make good contact is more important than the size of his forearms or vice versa? [/quote] I think the size of his forearms has something to do with his "power" yes it must be the weight training. Eye/hand coordination is born not something weight lifting can give you.

Baseball guys do largely the same weight exercises as football guys. For everyone person you find that agrees you will always find a malcontent. [/quote] I dont believe I said that those guys dont use weights.  I also believe you understood my point, but do not wish to acknowledge it.  Furthermore, to suggest that three Hall of Famers could not compete in todays game is totally without merit.  I still would like for you to have me understand why the athletes from other sports are better served using the football weight regimen than one provided for and supervised by their own coach.  Because of limited time available at the high school level, I would also suggest that in some instances, the need for skill improvement takes priority to the need for more strength.  Not saying there should not be lifting, but suggesting , once again, the coach of each respective sport is MUCH better suited to know what serves his players/teams interest best. [/quote] Your responses seem to assume that the coaches of the respective sports have no say in the type of weight training...and assumption that if I read DTH and play defense's posts correctly are not the case. [/quote]I agree with that and it would be wrong to make said assumption.  My reference is to what I know of as "universal offseason" and my understanding is that all athletes must participate in the football weight lifting program year round.  I simply believe, rightly or wrongly, that there are many instances where that approach is counterproductive for other sports.  Perhaps I do not udnerstand that program properly.  If it gives the other coaches some latitude in selecting the timing and volume of  lifting to be done, I retract my comments.  However, I believe I understand that situation correctly and have difficulty in believing a one size fits all approach is, without fail, the best for all involved.  If the golfer spends 15 more minutes refining his putting stroke, I can unequivocally promise you better results than 15 more minutes on the weight bench.  I think it is a mistake to believe what benefits the linebacker has  equal benefits to the first baseman. [/quote] What benefits the linebacker is football prepares a young man for life more then any other sport.
