Injuries -Moffitt

At some point working kids out everyday is not about a test of strength. The human body needs time to recover.

Tendons and supportive ligaments take time to develop and are slower to develop than muscles.

I read about players dropping weight or gaining muscle quickly. The rest of the body still has to catch up.

I would say historically Moffit’s strength has been to get players “NFL Combine Ready” but that plan is not sustainable without high percentage injury. I would say look at ALL our players over the last few years and notice the high rate of injury.

In before someone says something predictable like “Football is a tough sport” blah blah.

You can still take care of your body without the focus being on just low or high weight training. Yes it’s part of it but recovery is key.

It’s a problem at all levels of football.

I’m proud that many of our players are resting and recovering. Bummed that Kardel got injured but look at how much weight he lost in such little time? That’s a potential red flag.

Prediction. The kid who carried bricks in his backpack. Unless he spent an equal amount Of time focused on recovery that load will come back to haunt us.


It’s like someone who does 1000 AB workouts a day, did you also do 1000 rows to have balance along with deep recovery for both.

Hope I’m wrong but it’s here for me to eat crow.
