Strength and Conditioning coach

[MSUGUY]

I remember thinking during the JOMO tenure that we had a lot of injuries/tweaks possibly attributed to the S/C coaching. It seems Leach’s team has not had that this year. Who’s our S/C coach? I think our team is winning the 4th quarter in part because they have been in better condition.

Yep, we got a good one.

Yep. "The Beach" is something Leach & his S&C coach brought with them. As a younger man living on the Gulf Coast, I used to run on the beach occasionally for fitness. So much more of a workout.

I hear Leach's workouts are hell, but very effective, and apparently good for injury prevention.

I remember a WSU guy came over when we first hired Leach and had lots of positive things to say about the S&C coach we got. I had forgotten how bad we were with S&C under Moorhead until this post

It definitely appears we are the team in better shape at the end of most of our games.

Leach Beach seems to be a plus. Knock on wood.

Well the Leach Beach helps a ton too.

His name is Tyson Brown. From the videos I’ve seen, he’s got the fire and excitement that you’d want from a S&C coach. I never really saw that from Biche, who was JoMo’s strength coach.

What specifically makes a good S&C coach? I've often wondered this. All teams workout and do innovative things, I would think. I did a fair share of weightlifting in the younger days so I'm curious. It is just volume? I know Leach runs their *** off during practice, but post-practice conditioning is rolling, rather than using legs, because they are already tired.

Is there some new age way of lifting that causes less injury? The only real innovative thing I can think of is the stretching routine, keeping guys mobile and not stiff.

Admittedly not an expert but I suspect it has to do with exercises and techniques that would condition things other than muscles to prevent injury.

This strength coach is way better than the last one who was way better than the one before him. Also the strength coach that succeeds this one is going to be way better than this one.

Facts are, we looked bigger/stronger/faster and less fat and injury prone under Sherrill, Mullen, and now Leach. We looked bad under Croom and Slopface. Take from that what you will. Maybe it was S&C, maybe it was practice.

Pretty sure the consensus of the board in the Moorhead years was that our S&C coaching sucked.

 

[8dog]

It was a joke, guys.

Not a name I would want as a S/C Coach...****
