I'm gona kill my baseball coach!!!!

[rapmaster]

ok I want to know what you guys think.

2:00 - Study hall
2:30 - get dressed for conditioning
2:35 - out on field messing around
2:45 - still messing around
3:00 - run 5 warm-up laps
3:15 - coaches arive
3:20 - run 10 laps around field in 20min
3:45 - run 15 hard sprints
3:55 - lunges, push-ups, situps
4:15 - piggie back running(one guy on anothers back)
4:20 - resitance running(one guy pushes another while he tries to run)
4:25 - long distance lunges fallowed by a hard sprint to the other fence
4:35 - sprints
4:45 - go home



ok that was just today, its worse every damn day. I just want some opinions here. Is this baseball conditioning or track???? Here's my solutions:

1) Talk to the coach(he's a 22 yr old ----head)

2) Walk off with the rest of the team

3) endure or die trying

4) goto the board and see what they can do



HELP!!!!!! this maniacs gona kill us!!!!

[sagethefreak]

my suggestion would be talk to the coach, or get the whole team to quit. that would be funny..

Maybe your coach likes his boys to be all fit and conditioned ;)

I think that all that physical training is good. Youre right that it does seem a little much for baseball, but surely it wont hurt.

In our school gym class we run a mile every day, and the majority of it is uphill. then we play whatever. the other gym class plays games in the gym and doesnt do much in the way of training. whenever we play them, and it doesnt matter which game, we wax them.

Do you do all those excercises every day?

Usually depends on the mood of the coach. He's fresh out of collage and is pretty young for my taste in coaches. If he's in a good mood, we'll usually do about 4 laps and some pushup and situps a few sprints and call it a day. If its a monday or a thursday regardless he makes a run a ton, and on days like last wensday he was real mad cuz of something a bunch of the other guys did the previous day and so he made us run 20 laps in 40min, thats 5 miles :mad: gerrrr my love for baseball is being eroded by my hate for this guy.

[Epgs]

i have a coach like that too, except our practices are even longer and we run oklahomas, jog 5 yard up then sprint the width of the football field all the way up.

[Gayowulf]

That is pretty harsh, rapmaster. I dont think we even trained that hard for rugby.

[rapmaster]

this guys a phycopath I think. He acts like running is all baseball is about. I figure if things keep up I'll either die of heat stroke, have gigantic legs and puny arms, or I'll wind up just quitting and transfering to another school. That would just make my life so much crappyer as I love baseball but this guy takes this crap to the extream and all our(the players) parents are fairly powerless to stop this guys crap! Were high school players and he has us doing ---- he had to do in college! GEERRRRRRRR!!!!!

[Daniel]

It is a little harsh for baseball. I mean my practices are easy. First thing, just a couple of laps around the field and sprint around the bases once. Then we do some throwing, fielding and time to time, I make my partner throw the ball off to the side so I can dive for it. :D

After about 30 min of throwing, we practice hitting for about 30 mins and at last, we play a 20 min skirmish game.

[Blank Verse]

I find it strange that for a baseball practice you don't actually work on practicing your baseball skills.

I've had all types of coaches like that too...we had a "I'm the king of the world cause I played basketball in university" coach for my basketball team once. He didn't like me...I saw the bench a lot.

I was on a soccer team once where we were in too low of a division and therefore won all our games 12-0, etc...IN SOCCER! A goal in soccer occurs about the same time in between world cups. So our coach was purely there for formalities sake...but he decided he was important anyway, and thought that the only way we were going to win the championship we had no chance of losing anyway was to run laps for a solid hour. (side note: you would not believe how fat this guy was)

I had a hockey coach once who almsot made it to the NHL...'nuff said there. Ever seen varsity blues. This was pretty much the same guy as their coach.

[bigperm]

If you think that's tough... you should go out for wrestling. We ran 4-6 miles everyday as a warmup. Practice started at 3:30 and you were lucky to get out of there by 7.

[murat]

yeah i hate my basketball coach too :D

[Gayowulf]

I have participated in rugby and currently in martial arts. Both practices are quite hard. In martial arts we do as many pushups as we can untill we collapse, and then we do 20 more. In rugby we run about a mile then play a bunch of games and work on skills. the odd day we do some suicidal relay type excercises. After those relays a wheelchair is almost necessary for getting bac to the car.

[Gayowulf]

Football may be dumb, but it certainly is physically challenging. Ive worked out in the gym while some university football players were working out too. They can lift a lot of weight.

[keith]

i would not hesitate in saying our high school football practices were just short of basic training drills, without all the war training of course...

[Blank Verse]

I still find it funny that no one ever seems to practice actual skills for that sport...just run a lot.

[bigperm]

That is not true at all in wrestling. When we learn moves, we drill them until they become programed in, so that they are automatic on the mat. That's the easiest part of practice. We run for 4-6 miles for warm up, learn and drill a new move, work on moves we know, then we do shark drills, which is where you wrestle four guys in a row, and while you aren't the shark you have to wait in line to wrestle the guy who is the shark. Then we do conditioning. Suicides, like gayo was talking about. In the gym we go to the 3 point line, and back, then half court and back, then the the other 3 point line and back then all the way and back. Then all the way and back twice, we do them all with out stopping for the last one.

[Blank Verse]

OK, I know, I've taken wrestling before too...it just seems weird to me that in baseball, a sport where 40 year old guys with beer guts can still play, you would need all that conditioning. I'd work on batting and fielding and stuff.

[rapmaster]

Tell that to my coach, his name is Coach Satin, but you can call him ----.

[Blank Verse]

Normally, I don't care about spelling mistakes, but your coach doesn't seem so bad when he's coach satin...Satan maybe would strike fear...sorry, I just had to bring that up cause I'm a jackass.:D
