Andy Dalton marching 70 yards in 9 plays for a TD in his literal first drive as the starter not helping the "Bryce Young never had a chance to succeed in this offense" storyline lmao

@Fred__Duncan As a former college strength coach, I can tell you this is true. Our players got stronger, larger and jumped higher but the one thing that was not consistent was speed increase. It took @pntrack to make me believe that sprinting creates speed. Speed testing is speed training.

There was a clear difference in the Texas A&M / ND game tonight that doesn't show up in the box score.

Cramping.

All summer we heard Notre Dame has to prepare for the Texas heat... Yet I didn't see a white jersey on the ground getting stretched out.

Instead we saw a lot of maroon laying on the ground, yelping in pain, clutching their legs.

Why?

Both teams drink their Gatorade, they get their electrolytes in. What's the difference?

First game cramps are NOT. A HYDRATION ISSUE.

They are an intensity issue.

If your body is not prepared for the intensity of a game, that's where you see cramps become an issue.

It's a neuromuscular fatigue issue.

If you run practices at 50-80% speed, that's what you've prepared your body for.

If you try to then go into a game and play at 100% for a full 60 minutes...

You won't last.
You'll cramp up.
When fatigue sets in, bad things happen.

TL;DR: Cramps aren't just a hydration issue. It's a neuromuscular fatigue problem.

If you don't want to cramp up in a game: prepare your body to handle game like intensity.

"Instill the message to student athletes that strength & size gains will not occur—no matter how many bench presses, squats, or deadlifts are performed—unless they’re getting at least 8 hrs or more of sleep."

The better you are at something, the harder you have to work to improve.

Not in the form of physical effort, but rather you need attention to detail, discipline and focus to make further progress toward your goals.

Anyone can do another rep. Not everyone can do a rep better.
