one of my dumbass coaches believes that over training is not true. Just because he went to the army and he died so supossly he “lived it.Trust there is no such thing as overtraining.I lived it” We work out cest every day. Also we do squats to work core and then do squats again the next day. It is unorgainized and one time someone was not going all the way down only 3 forths and he said that works on mass. stupid.[/quote]
About half the people on here believe overtraining doesn’t exist.
I’m disappointed in these stories. With all the crappy coaches out there, this is the best you guys can do?
A coach black balled my 14 year old nephew from the All-Star team last summer. He is the best 1st baseman in the league and a top 5 hitter. The guy has held a grudge against the boy since he was 11 years old and talked smack to him when he got a game winning hit (I think maybe it was an HR). Ya gotta love it when a grown man holds a grudge against a boy, for years.
How about all baseball coaches with the mentality “pitchers can’t hit”. There are actually lots of high school coaches that have a policy, if you are a pitcher, you don’t hit, ever. Way to apply the grey matter, coaches.

A buddy of mine attended an NSCA conference a few years ago and told me he had met with a strength coach for a Pac-10 University football team. The coach was telling my friend the majority of the players could not squat below parallel, they just did not have the lower-body flexibility to do it.
His solution? I am not making this up. His solution (or at least this is what he told my friend) was he spent $60,000 of the university’s money on building an elaborate obstacle course out of railroad ties and tires and such for the players to run through. And he was bragging about this. [/quote]
And this is bad becaaauuusssee?
