You know who the unsung hero is

The strength and conditioning coach.
Yeah you hear his name brought up once and awhile. But imagine this, most rooms are position rooms, but Doyle has the entire team.
It has to be harder watching after 80 people than 12 or 15. I'm sure the players are already motivated but there is that aspect of it too.
Anyone who has had kids knows. Keeping them focused and getting them motivated can be a challenge.

Well, at least your last edited version I can understand. The first version I read at 5:30 AM this morning was a complete mess. I read it and still had no idea who the unsung hero was.

Good job cleaning it up.

I get what you are saying, but Doyle has a lot of staff helping. One key is that he has been with Ferentz at Iowa the entire time so it's been consistent all these years.

I've often felt strength and conditioning is overrated. Nice uniforms and a lively stadium entrance are way more important in my view.

It's just bizarre to me, I've always been able to change my physique fairly fast. To the point people in public gyms sometimes don't like me much.
Now I'm working with someone who has some health issues and while my age she is kind of busted up and has some areas that need work.
So as I start with her and get a plan laid out for her, I tell her you have to see it in your mind first, then you have to want it. Then project.
But as we chatted over text this morning I realized she can't see it yet. So I said well this is what I want you to do and in month we will revisit the subject and see if then you can see it.
I'm not great with words and that was the best way I could explain it.
I can't imagine doing it for 80 people at once, even if I had a staff. That is amazing. Absolutely amazing.

Long lasting gum is also necessary for winning.

You’re wrong. It’s all in the notebook.
