You'd think after 26 games and all the practices these teenagers would be in some kind of shape, even without conditioning. The most successful coach in 13th region history and one of the most successful coaches in the state didn't even have a conditioning program and started backing practices off about this time every year. I'm not so sure they're out of shape as bad as some think.

True. In an age where every sport seems to stress off season, preseason and in season conditioning, one of the best did none. You literally played your way into shape. As for the present, sometimes conditioning can be confused with effort. Defense is all about effort. Just saying.
