All athletes should have mandatory conditioning and weight lifting sessions regardless if they are playing football. It will only make them better. There is certain lifting that you do not do if you are a baseball player during baseball season. I get what you are saying but some things are not appropriate at a given time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spanky Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Thanks for helping me prove my point, a lot of issues at Hallsville! God forbid the guys do some work to develop better athleticism. Guess you should talk to some college guys about their lifting programs and get back with me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swaha Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 If a school has a strong weight lifting and conditioning program, then all sports are going to benefit. So much of HS sports is having confidence, and having a strong weight lifting program develops that for the kids. PG baseball has always lifted, even when Craig Jones was on staff. I have never heard of any limitations or restrictions on the PG baseball players. In my opinion, Hallsville is what PG was prior to Gibson. Gibson incorporated a rigouros strength and conditioning program in the summer. Once the kids bought in, their confidence improved. Once you get the confidence and belief from the kids, good things tend to happen. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, it is interesting how one potential hire could had possibly altered two schools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maineman1988 Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 I told y’all to ask them. They would tell you. How dare a coach want his athletes to lift weights? It’s the culture there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish the school I follow had a better weight lifting and conditioning program for the kids there now! Talented group of kids that are missing this exact thing! Could do them a world of good and put them over the top in my opinion. But this goes for any school whether you have talent or not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

False Baseball players cannot do squat within 3 days of a game. That is what this kid's Dad who coached the little league team in a tournament one time told me.

Just sell the weight room equipment. They don't need in Hallsville. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
