Adds up to me. Some of these coaches aren't the brightest. A coach can find a "mistake" every 30 seconds amongst a large group of kids working out if they're trying to increase a punishment. They want to punish their kids into submission. We were overworked at times when I played as a punishment, but never to the point where our muscles broke down. This exact same thing happened at HF several years ago, and there were plenty of folks jumping in to defend the coach and blame the kids for being soft, even after the HF coaches put 4 or 5 students in the hospital, and many other students had to miss sporting events that week because they were unable to walk/run properly.  Also, the way I read it is that they kept a tally of how many mistakes were made, then added it up at the end. But either way, are you suggesting that all these students who ended up in the hospital were "faking" it?  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just suggesting that there may be more to this. And no, I don't believe that a 15 year old kid can do 368 pushups and an athletic workout in an hour. I remember that HF story.. didn't that turn out to be overexaggerated? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant didn't law enforcement come in and discover that there was nothing to be charged for? The coach didn't get arrested, did he? I would think that if a coach did something to hospitalize some kids then there would be something. Even if under the guise of "working out". Right?  I'm truly asking..

Matthew328 Posted March 2, 2023 Report Share Posted March 2, 2023 CPS has not completed the investigation. I know of one athlete who had broken his hand during the season and was not cleared for upper body workouts was apparently made to do pushups as well....so not good there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No charges were filed to my knowledge.  But that doesn’t change the fact that the coach’s actions put four kids in the hospital, and affected several more.  So in my opinion, no charges being filed doesn’t mean that he wasn’t wrong in what he did.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach_Izzy Posted March 8, 2023 Report Share Posted March 8, 2023 Just a bunch of soft a** kids & parent's if you ask me, having boot camp in the off-season is nothing new. This same thing is going on at North Shore right now & you won’t hear one complaint! 89Falcon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This same thing is going on at North Shore right now & you won’t hear one complaint! more like ignorant coaches. kids today are soft, no argument there, but putting them in the hospital isn't how you fix it. if a coach makes kids do work that they physically are incapable of doing and badly hurts them, that's on the coach, not the kid or parent. it's the coach's responsibility to build up the child's ability to do the work. Of course, these coaches seem to understand that concept just fine until they're mad and want to punish the kids for something. That was the case here, and also at Hamshire-Fannett a few years ago. The coaches get pissed, and then all of a sudden they forget that it's their responsibility to keep their athletes safe. Work them to the point of hospitalization, then play dumb and act like they didn't do anything wrong. Your reference to North Shore doesn't really work, because North Shore isn't putting their players in the hospital. If they did, there would be plenty of complaints. That said, it's not an issue. while those coaches work their players very hard, they do it responsibly, unlike the coach here from Rockwall Heath. myrecordwashorrible, Mr. Buddy Garrity and BEARCPA 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

myrecordwashorrible Posted March 10, 2023 Report Share Posted March 10, 2023 This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up Exercise physiology matters!! Tough, not tough, whatever you want to argue....if you are going to work athletes extremely hard there is a process that must be undertaken to prepare the body. I know nothing of the strength and conditioning program at the high schools mentioned in this thread, but it's quite obvious that the "punishment" administered was not physiologically sound.  The Oregon situation from several years back that I linked here should be all any coach needs to know that there must be progression to go to "extremes" without detrimental effects.  Bobcat1 and bullets13 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach_Izzy Posted March 10, 2023 Report Share Posted March 10, 2023 Again you have tough kids & you have kids that’s going to report to mommy…boot camp goes on at just about every school in Texas (that’s worth a damn at least) and probably a lot tougher boot camps are happening than the one we’re discussing. Tough kids don’t go report to their parents that they had to do too many push ups. No coach in their right mind is purposely sending kids to the hospital, I’m sure it’s kids at NS & other schools across the state experiencing the same discomfort the Rockwall kids felt. Diff is they’re fighting through it & not running home telling mommy. You mean to tell me an entire team did 200+ push ups & yet only a few had to go to the hospital? Common sense ain’t that common Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Common sense ain’t that common Tough has nothing to do with it. It's a scientific principle. Ask any CSCS and they will confirm. You simply don't take a muscle to exhaustion in a anaerobic style over and over. Microscopic muscle tearing, which can be beneficial, will be exercibated and that's just the start of your problems. I'll add this. It's likely the tougher kids that are working hardest in an unsound program would be the ones hospitalized by pushing so hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
