DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT AGAINST DOCTORS OR MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS, THIS IS MY EXPERIENCE WITH MY OWN KIDS AND THE PLAYERS I HAVE COACHED. Many General Practitioners and Pediatricians tend to sit kids who come in with common injuries when sports are mentioned. However, walk in and get the same injury at home (riding bikes, playing backyard sports...etc) and the diagnoses for time out or off is often "use your discretion". I think it absolutely has to do with the implications of potential law suits. That combined with a lack of sports injury knowledge and this is what ya get. I ALWAYS recommend parents take them to the doctors that our trainer suggests. When you work with athletes as a doctor for your profession, you are much more equipped to handle the cases because you see them on a daily basis and understand how it will impact that player in that sport going forward. I absolutely think it depends on the doctor, not necessarily the injury.

Congrats to the young man!

Complete difference...Deshaun Watson going out to work with a QB specialist for one week to fix throwing mechanics (instead of working on his own campus with his own coach) is not the same as Johnny working his pull steps 8-9 more times in high school. I am all for guys who wanna open the weight room/field for a couple of completely voluntary workouts in June. We will go 8 practices for the 1st two weeks of June and then we cut the kids loose for nearly a month. Between work/camps/vacations/watching little siblings/etc...having 25 kids from a 70 man roster isn't counter productive, but it's not going to get us past the semi-state either. Just saying.

I used to have that one saved. Mike Griffith trashed the local teams to EVERYONE who subscribed. Too funny.

Ill break this down for ya as simple as I can. If you rep the pro shuttle 3 times a week from January through May 31st and take 2 weeks off to allow your body to rest and heal, you will outperform someone who waits til May 31st to work on the pro shuttle and works hard for 2 weeks that has all the same genetic potential that you do. Muscle memory works like that, kinda why you can still ride a bike after not riding one for a few years. Remember, this is in response to you asking when are they supposed to practice to get ready for camps? I pointed out the previous 5 months...ya picking up what I'm laying down here? June will not have an effect on the whole camp thing one way or another if you did/didn't do anything all work out season.

Lol, just validates my point. You can't practice combine drills during the combine...that's called a test. Lol...good one though. Hard work with no talent NEVER beats talent that won't work hard (except in movies, and those make ya feel good..but not how sports works). At the end of the day, the NFL and most major colleges couldn't care less how hard Johnny works if he runs a 5.0 40. Welcome to reality. But it makes for a nice bumper sticker though. I stand by my point, if you wait til June to work on being prepared for the camps...you don't have to worry about camps. If you believe 5 more 40's is going to get you down .5 second then you are in fantasy land. June's relevance is small, has less impact than any other month in preparation for the season. But it sounds great to those coaches in the hotel rooms going to watch the finals vs the ones playing in them.

You implied that those things are not learned until June...I disagreed, camp season has already begun and if you weren't preparing them long before...it won't matter anyway. NFL prospects dont wait til March to start combine training, they do that as soon as their season is over. Apples to apples on that one buddy. By March/June...they better have those techniques down. Hay is already in the barn. FYI combine training/college prospect training requires one commonality. TALENT. Without it, you are wasting your time.

If that's not being done the entire workout season, then they're not going to get it in June since the camps start this month and run through July. The extra work comes December through May and tappers off June...hay's in the barn for camps and offsite workouts by then.

:laugh:

Furthermore, many of those schools offer multiple athletics periods where Johnny gets to practice during the school day, he doesn't have to stay an additional 3-4 hours after school. It's a complete advantage that KY will never go to. We aren't even playing in the same realm as those states down south. Wanna compete with those guys, move there...it's the reality...unfortunately.

IF the KHSAA were concerned about sports in our state they would mandate a dead period from the ending of softball/baseball state tourney through July 10th. I maybe in the minority here, but saving these kids from burnout needs to be an addressed issue. Heck, kids are playing 100 plus baseball games a year now starting in little league with spring baseball, summer ball, and fall travel ball...can't imagine why they don't play by the time they are getting to high school. It's a shame really.

Mock turtle neck with a blazer!

This is a life long lasting memory for those boys. Very cool for the NFL to allow this.

Best of luck.

It's true. He was the LCMS HC in '95 and the LCHS HC in '96. My brother played for him as an 8th grader and then again as a 10th grader.

I think Rodney Armes did that at LaRue. Was the MS coach and went directly in the HS HFC position. He had well over 100 wins in his tenure. If memory serves me correct...but I can't think of another off the top of my head.

Agreed...but they have brought much of that change on themselves (the local county schools), it hasn't always been on the coaches that were there as much as it has been the admin. Glad to see TC may get a guy who will stay...as long as Cook will keep him that is.

:popcorn:

Same for bears.

You can have a committee, but its a farce...Roger Cook is the Jerry Jones of high school football and will find a way to screw this up.

Maybe even today

The new hire of Matt Wright, who will be invested in the community and has coached there as an assistant, will keep Henry Co. a very competitive team most years.

He was an assistant Henry, HC at Beth Haven, then an assistant at North Hardin, an assistant at Fairdale, and then became the HC at Fairdale. He is a GREAT fit for Henry Co. and will put him in the same district as his wife.

Matt Wright of Fairdale is the new HC. Matt was an assistant at Henry Co. from 06-09. His wife currently teaches there and they live in the area. Congrats to all parties. This closes Henry Co. and now opens Fairdale.

They will announce the new coach to the kids today.
