There has been considerable debate about the pluses and minuses of Universal Off Season training at the high school level.  Would like your input on this please.
[/quote]Stevie, it takes a truly gifted athlete about 2 weeks to get back into basketball shape. let's see: Basketball season counting the school season is from approx:  November to July/early Aug. I would stay with basketball conditioning. The problem is that football as a secondary sport starts in Aug/Sept. There really is no time for a rest period for the kids who want to play football.

It is interesting that you are able to quantify things for "truly gifted athletes"  Now, what about those who are not so "truly gifted"?

The things that you do in universal offseason are not harmful to the athletes.  It is  harmful to basketball because that 50-60 minutes a day is not working on skills that you must now rely on a 14-18 year old kid to do on his own. Even if you open the gym, the coach can not go in there and put him through drills and make him work on individual skills or even team skills that could be done during the period.  A player is more likely to go into a weightroom on his own and go through a weight workout than go do dribbling, ball handling, or shooting drills in the gym on his own. So to answer the poll question again.  Universal offseason IS harmful to basketball by taking that time OUT of the coaches hands to work on things he thinks they need to work on.

I agree and dont think it takes much sense for others to arrive at same conclusion.

You also can't get 10 kids practicing together "on their own".  That is the reason it is so valuable.  It is another hour of practice. I  remember that we used our athletic period in high school during the season to put in bounds plays in, shoot free throws, or work on some other skill.  Then at practice you could input those things in to real game situations or whatever you had for that day.

      What the writer stated wrt crossover votes in the primary/runoff: "Covey and his supporters Paxton and Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick said Phelan only won because Democrats crossed over to vote in the Republican Primary for him. Paxton said Covey’s campaign identified “at least” 1,442 Democrats who voted early in Jefferson County in the primary runoff. Texas does not have party registration, but a voter’s primary voting history is public. The Covey campaign has not released its methodology behind its claim, but  This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up  by The Texan news website found that 9% of Republican voters in the March District 21 primary had voted in one of the previous four Democratic primaries. However, only 5% of that group had voted in all four previous Democratic primaries. What Phelan’s opponents did not mention is historically Democratic Jefferson County is undergoing a political transition towards the Republican party — the county judge switched his affiliation to the GOP in 2017 — so many residents have a mixed primary voting history. And Phelan’s allies in the House dismissed the idea that liberals swung the election. "I knocked on doors, hundreds and hundreds of doors, made calls for Dade,” Republican Rep. Jeff Leach, R-Plano, said on Mark Davis’ radio program Wednesday. “I did not speak to a single Democrat down here in HD21. Not a single one." "

      By Big girl · Posted

      Most 75-80 year Olds have some type of cognitive impairment. If you are asking if Biden has dementia then my answer is no. That is a Republican talking point. If you all think he has dementia what type do you think he has?
