[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Perhaps this is an archaic approach, but my brother played at Princeton under Bob Bradley and they NEVER did fitness. All they did was scrimmage. Mostly full field scrimmages. And they made the final 4. I played in college at a high level and, again perhaps this is archaic because the game has changed a lot since the early 2000s, but I got good by playing a lot. Pickup games mostly. I took up road races after college and did a ton of fitness and it made me slower and less agile. When i would play in the occasional pickup game I couldn't be as explosive or quick footed as i wanted to.[/quote] I'm not saying this is wrong but I think...as you have stated...lots have changed since then...especially in regards to fitness and strength training. For example, back then, people thought lifting weights too early stunted growth or made them bulky and clumsy. Also, we all know that kids don't get the chances to "just play" like we used to.[/quote]
