The Cult of Football
Most People Endangered by Football Don't Play in the NFL
"Big college football programs graduate just 55 percent of players, compared a to 68-percent graduation rate for male students overall at the same universities. Florida State, this season’s champion, graduates 58 percent of its football players, versus 71 percent for male Florida State students overall. Football players typically get five years instead of four, and don’t pay for college; meanwhile, running out of money is the most common reason non-athlete undergraduates fail to complete degrees..............But too many programs operate like cults, pulling teens away from the classroom while instilling a sense of BMOC entitlement that backfires in senior year when recruiters don’t call. One varsity player in 50 is offered either an NCAA scholarship or “ath admit” to college. Many wake up in December of senior year to discover their GPAs are too low, or extracurriculars too few, for regular college admission." read more
TOPFIT Daily Activities -- Tabatas and Heavy Bag
After seeing clients and taking care of other business today, I made time for a Tabata workout of pullups, pushups, crunches and jump squats. I followed this a little later with a 30 minute heavy bag workout.
