oops! You know there's not any of the R word going on.Also can not have kids on the sidelines that are not enrolled at the school during the scrimmage
I think it is the coaches decision. You see how many years it took for them to finally get spring practices in. I think over the years, with the amount of time they spent during the regular season and summer, they thought it may have caused even more burnout adding spring practices. With how things have changed and shifting to win now or lose out(players,jobs,backing), more coaches would be ok with adding more to their schedules. I think if the coaches wanted it,they would have it. Make a proposal, have it voted on, and they would get it.NC definitely needs to step up its game in comparison to other surrounding states as far as development opportunities. The way rules are now makes it difficult. We have to abide by said rules but at the same time we need to shift those rules to ways of new thinking. NC football has too much talent to be as far behind overall as we are to states like SC. In many ways up to and including training and development, financially and commercially. Improvements have been made in some ways over the years but still lagging on certain things... as per the usual with NC in economic, political and overall attitude to procrastination vs innovation
Easy Bear Bryant, Don’t have to get your panties in a bunch. Just my opinion. Based on your comments you are probably not open minded enough to actually look into it. But track football consortium talks a lot about this. Similar to what Chip Kelly did at Oregon. Also the great strength coach Louie Simmons was the one who preached minimum effective dose. He worked with very high level athletes in multiple sports. Times are changing and science/experience prove it.1, 3 hour practice during summer camp is a joke. Ever hear of the law of diminishing returns? old school mentality?? 2 2 hour full pad practices and 1 1 hr special teams practice...that's considered old school?? that's too much for teenage boys nowadays? God help us. Or is it too much for the coaches?? I think a lot of coaches themselves like those soft schedules.
And What's your evidence that minimum dose works best? That's laughable. Maybe travel out of state and see the quality of play elsewhere. It would be great if your state champs could play their classification counterparts from other states. You wouldn't fair well with a large majority.
I would argue that this process is probably a key contributor to the success at NB. Outside the box thinking. That works.New Bern does things a little different for the kids to avoid them being burnt out, seems to be working.
"I'm not a fan of doing workouts all summer like that. We're a three-day-a-week program in the summer," Nowell said. "We give our guys the rest of the day off and let them relax and Mondays, Fridays, and the weekends are for them. I think sometimes (coaches) fall in love with just trying to make (players) just work, work, work, work but they're still kids."
Column: New Bern's title was more old-school than just running the ball
New Bern won its 4A title with no transfers, few students, and few offseason workouts. That's not typically a recipe for winning it all, much less at the highest division.www.highschoolot.com
Ok...last post. no Bear Bryant here. I just understand better than most what the experience should look like and that a large majority of high school athletes/football players are missing out on that experience.I would argue that this process is probably a key contributor to the success at NB. Outside the box thinking. That works.
It might become a 2-0 shutout...Looks like they still haven't improved their defense since they got 70 put on them in the playoffs.
I've heard nothing about addressing that.Also can not have kids on the sidelines that are not enrolled at the school during the scrimmage
