Bench350 Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 After a review of program rules, I want to take back my use of the word "mandatory". It can not be mandatory, and to avoid any possible rules violations I would recomend that attendance not be taken. I support an off season weightlifting program, as my previous posts will prove. BUT, we need to be vary careful when discussing attendance expectations. The only "mandatory" activities for Football begin in July. I was talking about the kids that were sitting at the house. GC has a off season weightlifting program? They haven't had a off season weightlifting program since 02'/03'!!! How can you make the players accountable for anything then?

sidelinedoc Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 The answer to your question Bench is twofold. 1.) Weightlifting for your football players needs to be part of their schedule. Yes, they have weightlifting last period, but make the football players take it. This is how you make off season weight lifting "mandatory". 2.) The kids have to have the desire to compete and want to be better. Winning will help bring back that desire.

After meeting the Coach and his wife Saturday afternoon, I think Greenup is in the right hands. It is a small world. He is good friends with my brother-in-law's friends and he and his wife are acquaintances with my wife's first cousin in Paintsville. We seemed to have a lot in common. They seem like an awesome couple! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
