no. bc they feel that track guys are soft and think that track coaches only know about linear speed development etc. even butch was quick to say he wasnt in control of the speed and conditioning program.
If linear speed development isn’t worthwhile, then why does football run the 40 yard dash?
linear speed is only one part of football training and a very small part aka jerry rice, walter payton, emmitt smith, ronnie lott etc.
The 40 is a very overrated test. All I can see the use of it is just a test of breakaway speed. I would much rather test the 10-20yd dash because this is all that matters.
I thought to run a good 40 you needed to run a good 10 & 20?
