This link was tweeted out last night by a nameless person.
It was good to get a perspective on Strength and Conditioning. Arizona has had a bunch of problems with injuries the last few years. I have been critical of it, I can't speak to the internal workings of UofA's S&C program, but it seems crazy to me that the response from RichRod and the football program has been little to nothing.
His response was essentially "we weren't injured in 2013 and in the Division Title run, I see no need for change".
Essentially, workouts are no longer meant to tax you, they are very scientific. A workout plan in the 2013 off season can impact your body in 2015 and 2016. I know, I became too big vs my skeletal frame in high school. I wasn't flexible enough anymore and started to hurt my ligaments and tendons.
Matt, had that been the response you have seen from UA RE: injuries?
