@coachdeesmith We can all tell precisely how much you’ve forgotten, and much you never knew.
And it’s “forgotten.” Hopefully you’re not one of the high school teachers coaching kids.

This guy out here talking about high school coaches like they’re Vince Lombardi and Phil Jackson instead of folks on their third school in 9 years and teaching 10th grade economics.

@blakekcmo @anymanfitness Ya man only the actual high school coaches agree with it but I’m sure parents know more!!

@coachdeesmith @anymanfitness Rarely do I see a collection of opinions as ridiculous as this. “Rec kids develop just as well as club kids and anything above a couple hours a week is diminishing returns.” Wow.

Bad news, dude:
If your kid doesn’t play travel/AAU they have no chance of playing varsity in high school.
Only exceptions would be small, rural schools without many players to choose from.
Any decent sized high school, every kid on varsity plays travel.

@RobOviatt1 @BenRogers You and several others open knowledge and history about the field is what makes this app awesome despite many of the ways it is not. Really cool to see!

@BenRogers A picture I took of him in 1984 while visiting with Dr. Bob Ward, his Strength Coach. Very intense, but polite and cordial.

Just bumped into the great Randy White… never ceases to amaze me what an extremely nice man he is. Still in phenomenal shape too. And I don’t think the youngsters are fully aware of how freaking good he was.
A defensive tackle, 6 foot 4 and call it 265 lbs, this dude embodied toughness, power and grit. He only missed one game in his entire career. His max on the bench press was said to be 560 lbs, but he could do 10 reps of 450. Yet he was also ridiculously quick and would often chase down running backs.
#2 overall pick, SB Champ, SB co-MVP, NFC Defensive Player of the Year, 9-time pro bowler, 7-time 1st Team All Pro (some places list him with 8), 14-year career, Ring of Honor, and of course THE HALL OF FAME. 🏆
Part man. Part monster. #TheManster #Doomsday
Did I miss anything, @Boys_Vox?

@wfreeman0 @anymanfitness No 😅 it’s because they would have been the best either way. Sports need to go back to. Play your sport in season, practice skills with friends and on your own in off season. Lift, sprint, jump 3X a week year round. If they did this the level would be FAR better than it is now.
English

@coachdeesmith @anymanfitness How do you think they become “the best players”?
Chances are it’s because they’re playing the most!

@SatoshiVanRippl @anymanfitness Because at some point there is diminishing returns. Look at what Indiana does in football. They put in half the practice hours and beat the breaks off teams that have double the hours and far better talent…
English

@coachdeesmith @anymanfitness Coach, how does 2-4 hours more a week, more games, specialized training not make them better?
English

@anymanfitness Sporting careers. There’s zero benefit to a kid getting to their senior year of hs ball and having played as many games as a 10 year MLB pro.
English

@coachdeesmith The odds of someone not playing travel and being on par skill level with everyone else who is are not good.
There may be a few outliers but that doesn’t make it not true.
Again, I’m talking big schools, not small or private schools.
English

@anymanfitness I think what your saying is 10000% what most parents think and they think they are doing the best thing for their child and I can’t fault them there at all. However I would bet 95% of winning HS coaches would disagree. We all played rec league and ended up just fine in our
English

@BarrettH07 They can play a lot more games during their junior high and high school seasons. When it actually matters. (Respectfully like legitimately trying to be respectful in discourse here) No one cares about winning a weekend super select elite world
Championship. Win in HS.

@coachdeesmith Our local baseball league gives the kids 12 games in the Spring and a total of 15 practices all season. When are they getting better? Seriously, I get puberty changes things, but we have kids who can’t throw 20 feet at 12 years old.

NEW: Youth sports is now costing parents as much as $25,000 a year. Private equity and corporations are turning a childhood pastime into something only the wealthy can afford. Youth sports has become a $40 billion industry, and the steep costs are crushing American families.
English

@BulldogBane @LoganARobison They quote $1000 for something we would quote $500 for and for something chuck in a truck would quote $100 and a case of beer for. Makes us not the highest price.
English

@BulldogBane @LoganARobison Top of the entire page id agree in many areas. Top of the map pack id disagree. Even if they are PE they will answer the phone and have someone on site when they say. We’re a “small” family biz and I don’t mind PE.
