Jones: Vols staying healthy in camp...so far

[kamoshika]

“Knock on wood — it’s still a long camp — but (it’s OK so far),” Jones said inside Neyland Stadium’s Stokely Family Media Center. “There’s a fine line. We have to practice with a high level of physicality. That’s our style of play. We have to practice with great, great intensity, no matter if it’s mental effort and mental intensity in a walk-through, or whether it’s in a practice setting. That’s critical for our football team. But I think Jason McVeigh’s done a great job in terms of laying out the foundation for the training room, and it’s also preventing those injuries. It’s the recovery, it’s the sleep, it’s the hydration, it’s mental fatigue.

“We haven’t had many soft tissue injuries. I think that’s byproduct of this summer with all the explosive training and the different stretches we’ve done."

[Catbone]

I've been knocking wood my whole life. I think that's a myth

Probably a real stiff.
And not very lumber.

OK.... I'm going to do it. I TOLD YOU SO.:naughty:

What ever changes they have made in the strength and conditioning program have seemed to lessen the injuries....so far. This is a HUGE deal. There a great many other SEC teams that have not been fairing as well.

D4h would argue that our colors wasn't orange and white when they're rite there in plain sight to see.

Some people just have to have something to fuss and argue about to make them selves feel smart and informed.

Dave Lawson was all about strength not conditioning and speed...which is the difference.

You can go blind from that.
