Don’t waste your time! I’ve asked him that question (and several others that invalidate his argument) to which there is nothing but silence or deflection.I’ll put your hate for the DA aside and ask you to go off on another rant. What do your studies, stats and figures say about high school soccer cramming 20+ games into <3 months?
Where players who are actually somewhat decent will take on more of a load in 80 minutes (let’s be real the best ones aren’t coming out very often) than on a DA team where their teammates can share the workload with them. These players also don’t have access to strength and conditioning coaches, they are often coached by teachers or club coaches with little coaching education (not that this is a be all end all but it shows investment in the game) they couldn’t spell periodization if you asked them to and they train between games every week because they know they have to win to keep their job.
Do you have stats on the safety of this? Because my, doesn’t enjoy reading articles to prove me right in internet arguments brain, computes that this would be a greater risk to players than 4 nights a week of structured training based on periodization and 90 minutes up to twice on a weekend.
But I’m just a lowly person who still doesn’t know what ameliorate means.
