how do they deal with kids that do both? On Lifting Weights...... 4 Days a week lifting – off season They test body fat VERY IMPORTANT is the weight program “One of the most important thing is to be stronger than the other guy†I love practice and love to play, if you don’t you are probably not going to get better. To be a better player you must get stronger. We lift year round. We chart the players on the weights. Bench, reps, lungs etc. Many people are keeping the kids accountable. I would make less money and pay the weight coach to have a better weight program. the above is from Don Meyer
