This off-season we moved away from a 3 day strength & conditioning schedule where we were lifting each day as well as doing some type of plyo or agility or speed work before or after lifting.
This year, we have gone 5 days per week, lifting MWF and doing our agilities and speed work TTh. I have liked the schedule a lot better, but now I am second guessing myself.
We had progress reports come out for the third quarter and out of the first 10 kids that turned them in, three would be ineligible nad seven of them had at least one D. Many of them were failing math. We will get the rest of the players' grades on Friday.
We have math tutoring after school on TTh and a lot of the players shy away from going so they don't miss our agility and speed sessions. I don't think I emphasized early enough that tutoring needs to take precedent.
Now, I'm thinking about holding a study hall with another one of our on-campus coaches on Tuesday and Thursday and starting agilities and speed work later. This will allow all the kids to go to tutoring and the rest to be monitored in a study hall.
Has anyone else implemented this in the off-season successfully? I don't want to use it to say I did it; I want to use it to get these kids to be more successful in class.
