Our coaches have been flooding group text with all the various workouts. One coach send one Maryland is doing. It didn’t seem too strenuous but since they had the incident with a player dying in recent years. It made me wonder if a coach at a school encourages kids by sending these workouts and something goes wrong, if that coach could be held liable to a certain degree. I have been at several different schools and one universal has been to not let kids workout in the weightroom unsupervised. Could these exercises be an extension of unsupervised workouts? Do they open up coaches to potential reprimand or legal action if something goes wrong? I am not involved in implementing these workouts so I am not extremely worried. But it has me wondering. You went way more in-depth than I was thinking but all good points. I was thinking more on the lines that we as a profession need to really sit back and observe our thoughts that we have to control our players time always. For example, a buddy of mine posted a workout that was body weight 3x12 on everything. So 36 push-ups are going to help your kids keep their bench maxes? I get that you don’t want your kids being lumps during all of this but guess what...the kids who are dedicated will do stuff and the ones who are lumps will be lumps. We told our kids to try and get out and do something physical and not to just sit around playing video games but be smart about it. I feel that sufficient I was more just making a side point. Your point is valid and I agree with it. A lot of the workouts seem more “hey look at what we are doing...look how smart I am...” Rather then just making sure the kids are aware of their own physical progress. |

I would be hesitant to recommend the kids do anything but body exercises as they're not supervised right now. Even something simple like a farmer's carry can turn be a hazard if a kid isn't doing it right. I could easily see getting sued if a kid hurts themselves while doing some of the workouts I've seen posted. None of them are extreme, by any means, but the lack of supervision is an issue.
Back to the original point.. Right now, I am wondering what things are going to look like if we do go back to school in a week and a half. We've already been told that staff and kids will be shipped home if they're ill so we could easily be walking into a ghost town.

For these times, I recommend everyone watch The Russians Are Coming, The Russians Are Coming. Or just recall it if you've seen it already. I can't recommend Nathaniel Benchley's basis novel, The Off-Islanders, since I haven't read it, although I did read his Sweet Anarchy.

Educators across the country right now are looking for ways to continue to be valuable and therefore prevent a public outcry about receiving a paycheck at a time when others are not (or will not be shortly). It will be interesting in a few weeks if the curve is still exponentially travelling upward what the decisions will be. I think many are suffering from "virus fatigue" already, and it is around day 3? |

It looks like we are moving to team office for school next year. Any experience with this?
