Comprehensive Strength and Conditioning
Donnie Kiefer
Basic Concepts:
The program must be comprehensive in that it includes all aspects and facets
of strength, power, speed change of direction, quickness, flexibility and
anaerobic conditioning that are needed to develop an explosive, efficient
football player.
The program must be functional in that it must only train energy systems,
muscle fiber types and movement patterns that are in some way transferable
to the playing field.
The program must be consistent and ongoing with no long lapses between
training cycles. Accurate records should be kept.
The program must be research and science based and not controlled by fad
methodology.
