The following need to be added into your presentation:
1. What 5-7 weight training exercises would you have your athletes perform? (cross references at least 2X) - pp. 151-161
2. # of set/reps (Would you have them do the same 3 weeks in a row?)
3.  Why do the exercises in #1?  What muscle groups are being worked with each exercise?
4. Does the weight lifting exercise you picked to look at fit into the sport "you are coaching"?
5.  What are 2-3 other exercises you would personally have your team do and why?  (wt. training, plyos, speed, etc.)
6.  If you were in charge of middle school/freshman - would you have them do the same?  Why or why not? pp. 99-101; 108; 172-173

Please answer question 4 in a blog post. Please make sure you write your answers in complete sentences and use supporting details from the articles and videos.

5. What do you think about concussions and sports?  Is this a big deal or being blown out of proportion?  Are the sports league trying to keep the stats a secret?  Are concussions just part of the game?  Should we be trying to find a way to minimize them? What about tackle football at grades 3-6?  Are parents part of the problem? Are athletes that want to keep playing part of the problem?


Check out the concussion blog or league of denial or national geographic or NG video Cracking Down On Concussions, concussions for further information.  If you use another source to support you idea please include the source.   SI - LofD
