I kept waiting for the punchline because I figured there
had to be one.
Some piece of the puzzle that I was missing.
Turns out I’m not confused. People are purposely making
this decision and that makes it the biggest joke in all of
youth sports:
—-
“Latif, I purchased my first CST about two or three
years ago and used it with my middle school track
program. Middle school seasons are shorter than high
school, so had to modify a little to get it all in.
My girls track team has been league champions or
runner up for the passed five seasons. The next fall I
added my volleyball and girls basketball teams to the
dynamic warmups. We got some strange looks from other
teams when we went to games. I lent the program to a
friend and it got misplaced, so this fall I ordered
another one. I’m currently working with an adult
football team and the head coach has commented
several times how much better the team looks this
year with footwork and coordination skills. The adults
were a little resistant to the concept but have come
around, one guy was late last practice and actually
asked to be warmed up instead of doing some static
stretch and then go into football drills. I was very
proud of him. I just talked to the high school cross
country coach and asked if they did dynamic stretching
and she said no but was interested in it. I will
share my extra CST with her. I guess if I’m willing
to buy it twice, I’m very pleased with the
improvements I see in my athletes.
Keep up the good work with the information you provide.”
