"Johnson Central's success in the Matney era has also had a lot to do with superior conditioning of its key players. That conditioning is not complete when players play only a half"

"Anybody who has ever played any sport competitively knows that there is no substitute for in game conditioning. Real competition brings out the best performance and results in the best conditioning for athletes."

Sounds like it to me.

What have I said about the program itself that is childish. I might say things about the coach, but I dont say anything about the program. I support the team and program, just not a fan of the coach...

There's your problem. You are using your ears instead of reading with your eyes. Pregame conditioning only gets a player so far.

Starters are almost always in better physical condition that the players who seldom play - at least that is the case in a good program and Johnson Central is a very well run program. I don't think that Matney's JC teams ever faces teams whose starters are better conditioned than their own.
