High School Football Results
I have spoken a few times and written an article about the physical preparation of high school football players. Also I have posted a video of one of the high school football teams following this program here. Recently that team has done a great job and as the article said progressively adding small weight to ensure consistent gains with consistent form and execution. Here are some words from the coach and some great results:
"Of the 18 guys I had comparable information from the last time we maxed out in the fall we gained 385 pounds in bench...that is an average of 21 pounds per. Seniors averaged a gain of around 12.5 per man. 9th and 10th graders exploded...... Corey went from benching 115 to 150, Justin from 130 to 165 (he weighs 115 pounds at most). Shane (soph) jumped from 200 to 230, and Chris went from 225 to 265...awesome.. Squats and cleans showed the same types of gains..."
These athletes have been very consistent with attendance and are a very dedicated team in which most of them are multi-sport athletes too. Along with this there have been ZERO non contact injuries which is of course the most important stat when determining effectiveness of a program. You can't play if your hurt.
