10 Musts Before The Start of Fall Campby: Bruce ReynoldsFormer Head Coach William Penn High School (DE) © More from this issue #1 Hit the weights and don’t forget to stretch for success. Nothing can make up for players that are not physically ready to play their best. Instead of lamenting that your players are not “bigger, faster and stronger,” take the initiative and make them bigger, faster, and stronger. If you do not have a weight room, create your own. We started our weight room in a storage closet in the wrestling room. I personally ran the summer weight room three days a week from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m., 12:00 noon to 2:00 p.m., and 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. in the initial years of our program. I did not want the time of day to be an excuse for anyone. If a player worked a summer job at night, he came at 8:00 a.m. or noon. If he had summer school, he came at noon or 6:00 p.m. No excuses, just commitment.
