whsalum Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 So now you guys are complaining because they have the boys lifting weights. Strength is a tool used in all sports, not just football. In order to run faster, jump higher you have to get stronger. I am not talking about body builder type workouts either. Strength training and agility is the key to any athletic program. It is essential but a very bad idea before basketball practice.Weight training should be done on different days or after your work is done on the court.
