Message: [QUOTE="Oldschoolbb, post: 4812531, member: 11068"] I'm a big fan of Cael Sanderson and Penn State wrestling. Cael is so far ahead of the coaching curve in a lot of ways, but one of the key ways is keeping his wrestlers rested and ready for the post season. One of the techniques of his coaching style is not overworking his charges. The previous coach was not as successful and the scuttlebutt is that he overworked the team in practice and scheduled a lot more competition dates. Injuries will still occur, but keeping players rested and at peak performances levels may not be helped by overtraining. As others have pointed out, practicing too hard can be a negative and my opinion that it's one of the reasons UConn has struggled with injuries over the past few years. [/QUOTE]
