Alabama Football Workout

[RB34]

One of my athletes is out in AZ training with Julio Jones and the guy didn’t even know what a “A skip” was…

I agree with some of what you say, but let me offer some food for thought:
(keeping this all in the context of Alabama -level of football)
Many strength coaches focus on the weight room because that’s what they believe they know! One does have to be concerned with the rate of force development, in addition to the massive amount of “blunt force trauma” that these backs experience. The body needs to stay strong - or rather deteriorate less quickly - as the season wears on. The weight room is one place where this can happen.

I’m right with you on the lactic acid / energy system topic! It’s amazing that more S&C coaches are clueless of this…I recommend that they get on this site all the time and learn what “tempo” is.

But why work hard to learn at your profession when you can be promoted from video coordinator to strength coach, like at Georgia ?
