It is also length of practice and sound conditioning practices. If we really cared about the health of our athletes, we'd institute more of an NCAA structure, where athletics time during a week is limited (20 hours?).

The problem is that too many HS coaches have forgotten that these are still HS kids and not the NFL. It’s not just the idea of two-a-days.
