No More Squats!

[JDid23]

I don't have any experience with High School athletes (maybe it doesn't matter anyway) but I've worked with quite a few at the NCAA level and every single one would run quite a few 200 and 400m "sprints" no matter what their individual race was. "Long distance" probably wasn't the best term to use...but for someone who runs the 100m, 400m IS long distance

Another part of that is that when you can only take so many athletes to a meet or if someone gets hurt...sprinters CAN be substituted fairly well.

The point is simply that the time under stress and mimmicking the exact movement as you would do in your given sport is NOT the most important thing when it comes to training athletes. You have to train athleticism differently from strength. And most athletes were born with their athleticism.

oh ok i see what you mean. When you said long distance, i immediately though of running 1/2 miles or longer. In that case, i agree with you- i ran the 55 and 200 and we ran sets of 400s and then took breaks, so yes that would actually be considered long distance as hard as it is for me to believe.

The guy in the video is a F*cking idiot. How he thinks he can be an authority on anything with an opinion as ignorant as that baffles me. If the masses were as educated as we were there would be a restraining order on tools like that so they couldn't get within 100 yards of any athlete of any sport just in case stupidity was contagious.
