My team and I started conditioning today and it was hell plain and simple. I honestly don't think my coach knows how to conditioning athletes right at all.
Today we did our usual 1 lap around our student parking lap at school, about half a mile, in the blazzing heat at 8am.
Then we split up into groups and did lunges, star jumps, side squat kicks, and walking on our tip toes holding a high V. We all had jelly legs.
We then stretched, which did no good and she made us do 200+ all together leg circles on each leg and then both legs together. Same with leg raises/taps. AND then we were made to jump, jelly legs and all and she got super mad when no one could jump more than 2 inches off the group. A couple of the freshman even fell onto the ground and almost faceplanted because our legs were giving out. One girl got extremely dizzy and puked and i did what any senior would do, confort her and tell her to close her eyes and breathe. My coach yelled at me and told the girl she HAD to jump, no choice, even if she was dizzy.
We went inside and split into 3 groups were we ran stairs even with jelly legs (you can imagine the amount of falling people did), calf raises, wall sits, push ups, and arm circles. Another "station" for abs we did 200 russian twists, 1 minute planks and some other weird pilates/yoga stuff one coach found on the internet.
For the last station you went to the varsity coach and she made you choose 4 squares and you had to jump in these sqaures in a specific pattern as fast as you could and if you stopped she yelled at you. Even on one leg.
Each station is about 15 minutes long. We did 3 rounds of them and then learned a few 8 counts at the end of practice to our camp dance where she insulted us even more.
I don't really know, but for a High School team that does no competitions or stunting, does that seem like appropriate condition??
* our conditioning is 4 hours long monday-friday with no breaks and we go back in and do the exact same thing tomorrow, no matter how sore we are.
Also, a total of 6 girls threw up and 2 passed out and she didn't care. At all.
