caleb1633 1,418 Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Not that I experienced it, cause I'm not 100, but Golf saw a much tougher generation in general. Everyone in the country is a damn softy now, though not all of it's bad. Players are much safer now, but sometimes safety is placed above effectiveness.

aucanucktiger 1,810 Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 A LOT more is known about training for football success now. Training different positions differently would seem common sense but you could see 300 lb linemen doing pre game hurdlers stretches not long ago. Everywhere. The military training model has historically been fundamental in football, it was bootcamp...go as hard as you can for as long as you can. The Junction Boys shows how even that old drunk Bryant learned the difference between training vs. working out. Dye had a epiphany it seems when our FB died after a brutally hot practice, from a heart defect. Football caught up with science and liability premiums forced a wake up call. It's still a brutal, violent, painful sport but at least at the top programs everything has a thought-through, long term training purpose. Heck, in high school ball in the 1970s we chewed tobacco because it kept you from feeling thirsty - coaches said wimps got water between those water breaks when they handed us salt tablets.
