Off-Season Workouts Very Important to Future Success

Published on Thursday, 12 April 2012 15:05 | Print | Email | Hits: 102

 

As winter sports begin to wind down and spring sports get started, it becomes very important for all of our football athletes to be involved in some activity. 

 

Whether it be baseball, track, or after school football workouts, those who are interested in playing football in the fall must be involved in physical activity in the spring and throughout the summer  in order to increase physical strength and conditioning. 

 

One of the biggest barriers to having success with our football program is to get our players to understand the importance of getting bigger, faster, and stronger throughout the off-season.   Successful football programs in our conference (and throughout the state) run year-round strength and conditioning programs that the athletes commit to in order to become better players.  We cannot compete with these programs if we do not make a commitment to improving our strength, speed, and agility in the off-season through participating in other sports, Strength and Conditioning PE, and workouts after school. 

 

If we are going to get ourselves back to being a consistent playoff team, we must commit ourselves to these workouts and put in the time and effort required to be successful!
