Message: [QUOTE="Palatine, post: 3046437, member: 974"] People forget that the coach is building Strength and Conditioning. And strength is different from size or weight, you can make a skinny guy strong. In basketball you fight for position using large muscles, upper body, thighs, gluts. You run down the court using your larger muscles thighs, calves. Then you have to use fine motor skills for dribbling and shooting, hands, fingers. The last part is mostly about conditioning. If strength training makes you bigger than conditioning becomes more important. In short, there are so many variables that programs need to be individualized. So without knowing what the S&C is focused on, it's difficult to tell how much progress the player is making. [/QUOTE]
