@AZSPORTSNETWORK @LSDFootball @ArizonaAIA Ok, I got it. The the numerical ranking thing is hurting so many people's feelings. I suggest we go to a letter grade system. 8 teams at 'A' grade. 8 teams at B 8 teams at C rest of the field is 'N' (needs improvement). 1/2

When you list the regular season weekly 'grades', list the A's in alphabetical order, and so on. Come playoffs, A's get 1st round byes. B's get home games. C's travel. Then just random draw the seeding of those games each round.

Sprinters do not display stiffer tendons than even untrained control subjects, and stiffer tendons are certainly not something associated with faster running speeds.

I mean .... I get it is early in the year, but I though their algorithm took into account previous history/success, returning athletes (yards produced & tackles).

"I like the term work capacity, as opposed to building a base." "Somehow this myth got started that if we train real general capacities, it will support specific capacities, and that's a lie. Data doesn't support that." ~@PfaffSC

Every day of aerobic-focused work is a day (or 2 days) where athletes are NOT getting faster, stronger, bouncier, and more explosive. Furthermore, mindless conditioning can actually DETRAIN speed and power metrics.

"Same thing goes with Track. The 100-meter time and shot put distance will forever trump a club 7s highlight in the world of college football recruiting."
New for @AZHSFB: As the calendar prepares to turn to the new year, it's important for high school football players and parents remain vigilant and make smart choices as the recruitment window opens. arizonavarsity.com/2025/12/3…

One very common error in S&C is the assumption that making an athlete stronger automatically makes them faster. This fails to understand that maximum fiber force and maximum fiber velocity are completely separate factors with their own independent limitations.

To understand whether active recovery does anything, we first need a post-workout fatigue model. After that, we need to look how additional exercise affects the components of that model. Read more in the weekly free Patreon article.
