OT:Al Golden hired a DJ w/ strobelights for The U's 5am lift

Brought in a DJ and put strobe lights and stuff up in the weight room for Canes 5 am workout.

I truly do enjoy when coaches do creative things. Cue the chorus of people saying this is dumb, but it's something different to break the monotony of the workouts.

Side note. A pretty awesome pre-season pump up video starts at about 2:50

This is dumb, but it's something different to break the monotony of the workouts. ♫♪


Who is singing with me in the chorus?

[gostangs]

actually its a great idea. This is supposed to be fun for the players. Teams that have fun usually win

This is awesome. We can do it with some Hawaiian music.

Must not have a mean and intimidating strength coach to strike fear in them and to fire them up. Those feel good programs don't work...see Mac Brown. Competition for positions and hard work along with smart coaches who push you to get better and will work as hard as the players is a tried and true formula. Complacency and flash is a disaster in the making...see Dallas cowboys

Creative way to break-up the monotony of summer workouts. If it motivates the kids so they push harder and get better results, its a win-win. I feel like it would be kind of hard doing power-cleans in the dark though.

Agree, it is a great idea to break up the routine of summer workouts. It would motivate me. Not sure about the stobe lights that early in the morning though.
