That's not to say that anyone involved in story linked below is a moron. Over the years, there have been training sessions (of my own design) which left my athletes in worse shape and more injury prone than they were to begin with - probably many coaches will admit to a few of these early in their careers. I've certainly been guilty of pushing my athletes harder than I should have once or twice.
I thank my stars that I've learned my lessons and I thank God that I've never sent 30 athletes to the hospital and, knock on wood, never will.
