Contact Prep Conditioning for Football featuring Scott Leech
Description
Coach Scott Leech, Head Strength and Conditioning Coach at the University of Rhode Island puts his Toes on the Line!
Coach Leech talks about his Football ‘Contact Prep’ conditioning work that he has installed with his team. Contact prep is basically preparing the athletes body for the contact they will face once the pads come on. Players will face a physical cost for colliding with people, and there are things that go on during a tackle, and if the body is not prepared for it, greater soft tissue injuries may occur at the early onset of training camp. Coach Leech lays out some drills that he uses with his linemen, when he uses them, and how he progresses everything to get his players’ bodies prepared for physical collision.
Later in the episode, Coach Leech also talks about his vision for the future of the University of Rhode Island Strength and Conditioning department. He also mentions a few key points to his future additions for what every FCS school should fight to get in their facilities.
