text: Glad to hear the Ducks are working hard again, but hospitalization is obviously taking it to the point of negative returns. Coaches should evaluate where each player is at, then design individual workouts that are challenging for that individual rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. Then require each player to have a teammate verify their completion of each part of the individualized workout. Not doing the workout, or lying for a teammate is grounds for disciplinary action. When my son was in the Army, his drill sergeants would tell slackers and liars (forcefully, and nose to nose!) "Why would you cheat yourself out of the improvements you can make by doing all the reps, or the personal integrity it builds to tell the truth?" It was an approach that worked for most, though they have creative disciplinary measures perhaps not available outside of the military. Still, if done right in front of the team, it will have an effect.
