If you haven’t been paying close attention you might be surprised to learn that increasingly more student athletes today not only practice after school, they are also expected to train in the morning before school starts. The majority of student athletes I see these days regularly wake up well before 6AM in order to get to school so that they can practice and/or lift with their team, often leaving them mentally and physically exhausted before the first bell at school rings later that morning. What used to be the exception learning about a kid who would wake up before the competition to go on a morning run has now become the norm for entire high school teams, and what is loosely referred to as “voluntary” is anything but voluntary. Why are so many high school coaches now running morning practices, and what are the pros and cons to this coaching approach? Are kids more rapidly.
because of the extra practice, or are they paying a deeper price by way of mental and physical exhaustion impacting their alertness toward learning in school? And what is the end goal of hyper-training — more future D-1 college athletes? Professional sports? With the odds still incredibly remote for full-ride scholarships and pro sport opportunities, we really need to think about their new, lofty expectations we are placing on student athletes today.
