The Marine workout crapYou don’t get what?
What don’t you get about it?The Marine workout crap
beyond the workout its about team building/ accountability building.The Marine workout crap
It’s an odd question, to be honest. I’m just wondering why it’s “crap”?beyond the workout its about team building/ accountability building.
I don’t get it
Just seems like a gimmick. Marines inculcate this stuff into their very beings. The football team is going to do this a handful of times and then it’ll be forgotten. It won’t help with their performance. It won’t help with Xs and Os. The stuff they were doing was specifically formulated for the battlefield. Not a single college student is going to take a week of the marines doing with them and internalize it.What don’t you get about it?
I think we are all in agreement they aren’t going to war and won’t use the specific drills or CFT in the football season, but it’s about doing hard **** in a teamwork format that is entirely different from their day to day football workouts (emphasis on teamwork).Just seems like a gimmick.

As far as “crap” - it means stuff. Not that it’s crappy.
But you all splooge over this as you see fit.
We used to bring guys/groups like this into offseason workouts when I coached. These guys were basically saying and teaching the same things we were. After hearing it over and over from us though, players would tune us out. It was crazy to watch the team lock onto to something and really buy in to something they had heard 100 times before simply because they were hearing it from a different source, in a different way.I think we are all in agreement they aren’t going to war and won’t use the specific drills or CFT in the football season, but it’s about doing hard **** in a teamwork format that is entirely different from their day to day football workouts (emphasis on teamwork).
It’s like putting on a retreat and hiring a motivational speaker for corporate teams. It just gets people working toward the same cause, doing the same unique thing in an isolated format.
Nobody is splooging over it, just check the thread, guy.

There is an old saying that the reason you bring a consultant into your company is because the opinion doesn't matter unless it originates from at least 100 miles away.We used to bring guys/groups like this into offseason workouts when I coached.

Hope that made since. Haven't had my coffee yet.

No, we’d be talking about reflective safety belts instead.I have a suspicion that if it was the Navy we wouldn't be having this conversation.
The one thing that I got from the videos of them doing the Marine stuff is how when the guy in charge stepped up and starting talking, we had a good number of guys "rocking back and forth", not looking him in the eyes, distracted, even whispering to each other, etc... All the talk about Discipline, and trying to eliminate penalties and false starts cannot be cured with guys that cannot truly FOCUS 100% on the task at hand. It is a minor detail, but it is hard for guys these days with a million things going on and their phones in their faces to really clear their heads and focus completely on a single task with every fiber of their being. That is the only thing that I wish they would get out of someone so awesome as the Marine leaders and they way they hold themselves, and talk and make eye contact. Pretty cool. Total side story, but when I was playing high level club soccer and we were winning state titles and going to regionals or even national invitational tournaments, we played against a Japanese Club team that came over to the US to play in a top tournament. At halftime, the team went to their bench, half sat on the bench, the other half stood behind the bench in perfect order, with full attention on the coach, and had a clear and concise discussion about adjustments for the second half. Meanwhile, our sweeper was hungover and puking behind our bench.Just seems like a gimmick. Marines inculcate this stuff into their very beings.
