[QUOTE="jwsavhGT, post: 404102, member: 652"] [I]#TGW: COMPETITION ABOUNDS IN OFFSEASON PROGRAM Georgia Tech football turns grunt work into opportunities to bond, compete[/I] [URL]http://www.ramblinwreck.com/sports/m-footbl/spec-rel/022618aaa.html[/URL] [I]Head coach [B]Paul Johnson[/B] and the rest of the Yellow Jackets football coaching and support staff have turned the grunt work into bonding opportunities so it's not like, you know, heavy lifting. The Yellow Jackets are deep in a semester-long competition that sees the roster spread into seven teams of 13-14 players each, and they get after each other in pursuit of points in the classroom, the weight room, running and more. The program was rolled out in 2016, and points are available based on traditional offseason metrics -- such as improvements in the weight room and body composition and performance in conditioning sessions -- as well as non-football-related measures, including highest grade-point average, participation in community service and weekly non-football competitions like dodgeball and tug-of-war. Points are deducted for student-athletes missing or being late to classes, tutoring sessions, meetings with academic advisors, workouts and/or breakfast. [/I] [/QUOTE]
