The problem I see with a lot of universities programs is that you very rarely have time to work with your athletes for more than a couple of months if at all as a private S&C coach. I send kids away to college faster and stronger than 2 years later which is confounding to say the least. You can peak a kid for the season and some idiot just wrecks the kid in some form of “hell week” within a few weeks. I harken back to the moron at CMU who made my kids START their lower body work with 50x3x315 squats. Followed by 10 sets of thirty band squats. Enough said. In my experience, MAX strength much more important in football than any other sport. I have seen great skill guys who can run like deer but can’t hand fight a jam by CB. Block periodization is a great system if you have more control over the process, but I find I need to push more of the qualities in a conjugate type of method to be effective in limited off season.
