S & C isn't winning ballgames. Ballgames involve strategy against unknown opponents who are being coached by others who are using their own strategy. S & C involves preparing the body to get stronger and enable a player to perform better at a given sport. It's a science with many pretty well known parameters and proven methods for achieving best results by training the human body, which in the case of D-1 athletes aren't all that much different in the fact you are dealing with generally healthy and genetically gifted individuals. Building strength, stamina, flexibility, and mobility is much more science and less an art than winning games. There are good, proven methods, and there are newfangled, unproven methods for training athletes that pop up all the time and become fads (bosu ball training, unwarranted focus on "stability" work and mobility at the expense of tried and true free weight training using compound movements, crossfit "techniques", etc). I think our last S&C coach and staff were a little too much focused on the fads and strayed much too far from the tried and true techniques. Hopefully the new guy has an approach more like Lou while still staying on the cutting edge of proven advancements in the field.
