Quite the opposite, actually. The strength and conditioning coaches sent the players off with a 65-page manual that lays out a day-by-day regimen for players [...]
The end
Today marks an emotional ending for head strength and conditioning coach Chris Carlisle, who watched as his offseason workout program came to a close today at Virginia Mason Athletic Center.
