You can get an ‘A’ by studying the night before, or you can get an ‘A’ by diligently tending to your work all semester.

The fact that the outcome is the same seems to imply that the path doesn’t matter.

But what about when the exam is over?

Study the night before and I guarantee that every piece of information you crammed into your head will be gone inside of 60 minutes post exam.

Study consistently over the semester, and your retention of the material will remain with your forever.

And that is a sizeable difference.

Okay… So the ‘trouble’ really isn’t with high school athletes, per say,
it’s with the training programs they’re often forced to use.

And frankly, they don’t know any better.

But then again, neither do many high school Coaches.

Not a targeted shot, just reality.

So here are some of the problems I’ve seen –

1) Train Versus Teach

From Day 1, many incoming high school athletes are asked to ‘perform’.

Using lifts they are often unfamiliar with and receiving little to no
technical instruction, they are often left to their own devices.
