You keep saying if you canvassed 50 S&C coaches, you'd get 50 different approaches to S&C but Hudy's was unique. If what you're saying is true, everyone's S&C is unique. 50 S&C coaches, 50 approaches, each of those approaches is unique.

I'm not diminishing the impact Hudy has had on our program during her time in Lawrence, but you're not offering any reason that she isn't replaceable beyond her unique approach, even though by your own reasoning every single other S&C coach has their own approach as well.

Again, not saying she won't be missed, but I'm pretty sure we'll get another S&C coach who will kick some ass and we probably won't think about it too much once the season starts unless we have tons of injuries.
To be fair, I think I posted that exactly once. I couched in terms of "my strong impression", which is to say, it's my opinion. I agree she is replaceable, and will be replaced. I'm just not sure it's as easy as some think. As with other coaching positions, it might take a few tries to find the right fit.

Maybe I'm wrong; I get that.

I think we'll be fine, and vote that we do not close down the Basketball program. But I think it's a shame she's leaving and I wish she'd stayed. That's all.

Kings have been ran pretty well lately, including player development. Might be a rising star.

I admire your positivity/optimism.
Let's hope Nijem earns and gets as much love as Hudy got - and he is just as if not more competent.

Hudy got the athletic department to spend big bucks on excellent, top tier equipment and systems. The framework is in place for success. The hire seems to have good experience so now we'll see.

On a positive note, maybe we will have fewer guys having cramping issues than we've had in the last 4 years or so.

Instant credibility with 'croots that the new S&C was working for an NBA team.

Does it matter that it was one of the worst franchises in all of professional sports?

In Nijem's tenure, the Kings haven't been a big joke.

Skewed perceptions because they historically have been a big joke. And, KU fans don't like to think that Thomas Robinson, Ben McLemore and Frank Mason just were not NBA players.

lol CROOTS more interested in us sporting the best gear (Nike) than the strength guy. Some might look at this fella and wonder why he's going backwards in career....

OK. Since I'm here messing around with youse people, I have a question. Anyone know of any studies comparing the effects on performance and injuries between "performance training" and "strength training?"

The below video popped up in my Twitter feed, and it reminded me that I hate the direction of sports training. I believe and have always believed that strength and performance are two separate variables. On affects the other, of course, but developing each should be independent processes. Developing strength is achieved through "training," while performance development is achieved through "practice." Conflating the two ensures that you do neither well. I'm open to having my mind changed, but I just think that this is...well...stoopid.

Using my own completely simplistic model, isn't interval training combining the two?

I had a heart attack in June, and now that i'm back to 'running', i feel stronger and perform longer at a much more fit level doing intervals, versus a singular pace or resistance.

I guess it depends on what the guy in the video is trying to accomplish. If he were trying to bench 405, then he is definitely wasting his time. From watching it, I would guess that he is trying to maximize explosiveness and lock down his core, both of which would serve him well in game settings and would be important for injury prevention.

I think part of the reason we see more training like this today vs. the 70's and 80's is how much time people spend sitting now vs. then. The old school strength training worked back then because kids were up and around most of the time and had spent their childhoods running, climbing, and swimming, while today they are either slumped in front of a screen or doing the same repetitive movements over and over again, e.g. training solely for basketball year round, which overdevelops some muscle groups and atrophies others. Add in a fast food diet with "healthy" drinks like Gatorade predominating, and you have a system primed for collapse.

I have been shocked at the number of first and second semester Freshmen I see on campus who almost immediately blow out a knee or an ankle within weeks of the start of college-level practice. A decent percentage have surgery, rehab, and come back only to do it again the next season. A few of my colleague in the athletic training department point to the ideas above as the culprit and are trying to convince the coaches to shift their prehab and rehab routines away from a focus on heavy squat, bench, and deadlifts to address them.

I didn't intend it as a criticism or condemnation. It just is.

Group A is lazy. Not a criticism, just an observation that a KCAC track coach relayed to me!
