I'm not sure who you are Separation Scientist, but you and I are on the same page entirely. BH has not played tough, physical football for 4 full quarters in years (before the Gage hiring). I feel it has 99% to do with how we work in the offseason. I know we lift weights and spend a great deal of time lifting those weights and doing footwork drills, etc., ......but are we hurting and learning to fight through the pain and get to that next level and continue on? I firmly believe in quality over quantity. Do the coaches work the kids until exhaustion and then continue pushing them? I know the answer.... they do not! We practice in an indoor air conditioned taj mahal even when the weather is great. It is much different than what the BH offseason program was in the nineties and early 2000s....and the programs of Katy and PNG of today. We worked through multiple agility, plyo, mat drills, bleachers, hill training, weight training circuits until we were puking and after we finished non-stop motion for 50 minutes all groups would meet on the track to run a quarter for time. If you didn't make the time you had to run it again. We did this every day and would routinely test strength and speed (included a mile run for time...which hasn't happened at BH in years...yes, big boys can run a mile) ....and 90% of all athletes would improve in both strength and speed throughout the offseason. This all took place in 4th period of the school day, and it got results. We didn't have any big, sloppy dudes because they couldn't make it through the offseason (they lost weight and became hosses.... or quit) and our numbers were streamlined to only include those that really wanted to be there and put in the work. One thing that didn't happen is we didn't have kids lay out injured on the field. I do not remember many, if any, ever getting hurt or missing a game. I contribute that to how we worked in the offseason. Until we get the program back to this way of thinking and working, we will continue to be mediocre. We have twice the athletes and numbers today than we did then so it would be fun to see the results. It can be done. Not sure it will be done. -
