Popular Post DaveH Posted January 30, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted January 30, 2018 Guys, this is completely unacceptable. Rhabdo is not a joking matter. You're supposed to be training these guys, not putting them in the hospital. 11 Quote Link to comment

knapplc Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 I remember this was a topic of much mockery when this happened to Iowa a few years back. Not a great look for the Huskers. 2 Quote Link to comment

HANC Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 More than likely, these 2 men over-exerted themselves to make a first good impression. They probably pushed themselves to a limit where they appeared exhausted and symptoms showed up after they left workouts. These coaches and trainers are well versed and if they had ANY inkling of what was happening, I am sure they would have stepped in. 1 case is too many. Probably a scenario where the coaches are now doing a better job of communicating to athletes to push themselves, yes, but to also take proper precautions moving forward. It is like a concussion. As a coach, I can't fix what I don't know. If an athlete takes a shot that isn't obviously forceful, yet begin feeling the symptoms of a concussion, I can't take the proper measures. The athletes need to be encouraged to be able to come to coaches about medical conditions without feeling as if they are being "weak". On the flip side, in some cases the symptoms have delayed onset. This is a bad situation and I hope and pray that these two guys recover fully and are able to live like nothing happened. I am not sure people need to be quick at pointing fingers. 9 Quote Link to comment

DaveH Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 The thing here is that the idea that these guys could get even remotely *close* to rhabdo suggests that the programming is inappropriate. How many players did not technically have rhabdo, but were close? These kids are hand picked athletes, so as usual their natural ability will cover up the BS that is prescribed to them. Sure, I get it when some CrossFit hero at your local box gets rhabdo because his dime store coach doesn't know what he's doing. But we pay these guys a TON of money. We should expect better and so should their parents. 6 Quote Link to comment
LumberJackSker Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Isn't this also on the fault of the previous staff? If riley and co had these guys in the shape they were supposed to be in what is the chance of something like this happening especially this soon into wirk outs? 5 Quote Link to comment
RedSavage Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 You don’t go an entire season having 0 soft tissue injuries without pushing it hard in conditioning. I think some of this is going to happen when you’re conditioning harder than you ever have in your life. 4 Quote Link to comment
HS_Coach_C Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 They also didn't get any bowl practices, so some of these players were likely more out of shape than they would have been normally. Yes, they can say they worked out on their own, but it's not the same as pushing each other as a team doing workouts together. Quote Link to comment
