[QUOTE="kg01, post: 589328, member: 11"] Does anybody know what we do in the offseason workout-wise? I heard an interview of TxTech coach Beard and he was talking about how/why he's been able to be successful/win. The thing that caught my attention was him saying that, in order for his players to get better, they have to do work away from the coaches. The coaches only get what 20 hours a week. Improvement happens outside that timeframe, per Beard. Well, here's the problem. All work is not created equal. There are a lot of players who do "work" in the gym but most players are just doing what amounts to empty calories. Simply putting up 1,000 shots is dumb as heyul. If your workout includes 500 shots, 1,000 shots or w/e, that means you're wasting your time. A proper workout is 'game shots'. If you're doing 1,000 shots at or near game-level intensity your heart should explode. Does anybody have any perspective on what types of workouts our guys do on their own? Seriously. Our shooting overall really hasn't improved and it's not just because our guys aren't "born" shooters. Just some musings which, surprisingly for me, have nothing to do with anyone on the hotseat. Progress? [/QUOTE]
