What does
everybody in a team sport have to do the same conditioning? Why do hockey
players have to test the power clean? Why do American football players have to do a
mile run test? Why is the bench press such an important lift? What does heart
rate really tell you? Why do you need an aerobic base? Why is lactate bad? Does lactate really cause soreness? Why
do pitchers ice? Why do female athletes have to hurt their knees more often
than boys? Why do we have so many pulled hamstrings today? Why doesn’t the player who has the heaviest max in the squat always
have the best vertical jump? Why is the forty so important for football? How
many cones do you touch during a football or soccer game? What is agility? Why
does training always have to make you tired? Is there such a thing as game
speed? Why don’t we have required
physical education from Kindergarten to twelfth grade? Why can’t we figure out
that physical activity and cognitive learning go hand in glove?

Vern,
Have you had a chance to evaluate the Crossfit model yet? Be curious to know what you think. Thanks.

Love those last two questions! I’m sure a lot of people think they have the answers to all of these questions but do they REALLY understand. Good post to get people thinking, Vern.
