The Power of Positive Conditioning

A couple of weeks ago we were discussing how
speed coach Tim Kauppinen and I think it's
counter-productive to use running, sprinting, and
stair work as discipline for not paying attention,
goofing off, insubordination, etc.

I'm not saying some players don't need negative
motivation. Everybody is different. You do what
you have to do.

But in general we feel performance will be at a
much higher level if players are taught to value
and cherish conditioning.

How much better would your team be if
conditioning were treated as a source of pride, not
a result of punishment. In that environment you
can also use your sprinting to build teamwork and
chemistry.

Here's what Coach Bruce E. Brown asks his
players to get them in the right mindset:

1. Do you believe being in great condition will make
you a better player?

2. Do you believe being a better player will make
us a better team?

3. Do you believe conditioning will let us all have
more success?

4. Do you believe great conditioning is something
championship teams have?

Conclusion: Conditioning should be treated as a
privilege.

Stay tuned to find ways to make that happen.
