A Hug For Longo

[HereComeTheIrish]

See, you just can't help yourself...you come off as a pompous a-hole when you post things like those last 2 sentences. Do you know how easy it is to give people knowledge without sounding like an a*hole? It's not that difficult. People on this board do it all the time. Newsflash...you're not the only person on the board who has studied something. Hell, Wabash gave us a great breakdown of an offensive lineman's film without making the rest of us feel like idiots for not knowing what he knew. It's not that hard.

Think about the inner city kids you work with. Would you want them acting like you do here? A dude made a joke about puking when working out and you jumped all over him and started a pissing contest. When all you had to say was something like this, "I'm sure you were just joking, but studies actually show that puking.........etc etc." Again, it's not that hard. Maybe you don't want to be tactful. Fine, but no one is going listen to a blowhard who talks down to people. And if that's the way you plan on talking to people here, you should probably find another board that tolerates you belittling its members...[/QUOTE]

I do not understand why that makes me come off as an a##. In his reply that is what he wanted me to do. I did and spoke what I thought.

I didnt attack anyone.

Im sorry you feel that way. I intend to spread knowledge of what is true and what is false or unknown.

LMAO....

Very well stated mate. And totally right on. Its impossible to learn anything from an arrogant fool that just loves to show off his superior knowledge.
So mbeck if your really so intelligent I would suggest listening and learning from what ND here has stated. Would get you very long ways.




for real? Do you read anything? or I'm assuming you know him personally? For one thing he brought in this training table which we haven't had before. and the players have stated that Longo is a much better coach than the previous one.

Just a couple articles about his philosophy that I posted a while back and some other lil bits of info.


See this is the reason why it is frustrating in having a debate. He did not bring in the training tables. That was coming in whether or not charlie stayed. Im sure the guys personality is great , and I wish him the best of luck here. Do not forget I am a serious ND supporter. I want the best for them, thats why it concerns me with his foundation of strength and speed work, which I have written a tremedous amount on here that has been deleted because I made someone feel insuperior with my knowledge. I do not want to be percieved as a jerk. So if I have made anyone feel that way. I'm sorry.

You guys have got to me kidding me, do you have any idea how middle schoolish you folks sound. For real guys I don't care who sound arrogant I just wana get insight on our new S&C coach.

1st me should be "be"...

Period after me.....

Capital D

Question mark after sound

comma after guys

grammatical error between "who' and "sound"

missing comma after arrogant

wana????

perhaps add a "some" between "get" and "insight"......

I'm just kidding....just wanted to prove I wasn't on a "middle schoolish level. How'd I do?

Really? You really don't think you come off as an ass? I don't know what's worse, the fact that you started this whole mess with the first quote below, or the fact that you have zero clue how bad you look. Unbelievable.

Let's look at some of your quotes:

What a stupid thing to say.

There should be an age limit before you can use this site.

I have a hard time finding your point in your pathetic chant.

Mark my words. Let that marinate on your brain and bring me something knowledgeable.

I have paused and reflected, and all I can think is you have been intimidated by the fact I have a tremedous amount of knowledge on the subject. Please do not take my years of education, experience, strength coach and time, and hours reviewing clinical studies over these topics affect our relationship.

Starting this whole thing? Check.

Belittling another poster? Check.

Acting like a pompous ass? Check.

Last warning for you if you want to continue posting (that means stop belittling others and stop the personal attacks)? Check.

I couldnt find a place to post this so I hope you guys think its ok to add this to the Longo thread. When I watched practice videos from the sources last year the defense always just looked like they were just going thru the checklist. Effort was 'good' but not edgy or telling me I want to GO on saturday, just get it done, do it right, but not crazed ready to hit on saturday. Maybe it was just me or maybe it was just what we were allowed to see. I am seldom critical about players after all they are college guys and balancing education and their football work. But here's the point I get the feeling that from Longo and the new d/coaches if they are not itching to play the may not play. Defense is more want to than style. Like I said I know some of the players read this site and I dont mean to critisize them but if they sell out to this new regime they may find out just how good they can be. I know the talent is there. Charlie left that for sure.

mbecka,

Anybody who acts like you cant be successful at what they do. Sorry. Once youve decided you know it all in your craft or career its when you quit being good at it.

Your attitude aside, you should slow down and reevaluate things. A great teacher, and a coach is really a teacher of sports, is constantly searching for knowledge and improving.

My wife works for a cardiologist. they were all bored at work because he wasnt in the whole week. I asked what is he doing taking a vacation? She said no, hes studying his ass off for refresher exams. The guy is a 45 year old cardiologist and hes cramming like a 19 year old to improve on his subject.

That is what a professional is.

Longo is the freaking man.

 

[FightingIrishLover7]

Longo sounds like a guy who will make sure each individual player improves significantly talent and strength wise.

Longo sounds like the real deal.

Im very successful at everything. I don't know it all, but when it comes to discussions on S&C it comes easy to me because I have been educated on the subject and was a S&C coach for 5 years and still develope S&C clinics and programs for High schools in m spare time. To me it is as easy as 2+2 for you, that is just how it is. If you would have read my post about alwalys wanting to learn more and always in continous study with new exercise scinece review journals in this field then maybe I would take your advice on what it is like to be a professional.

 

[mbeckha]

You guys have got to me kidding me, do you have any idea how middle schoolish you folks sound. For real guys I don't care who sound arrogant I just wana get insight on our new S&C coach.

I tried that already. I tried to explain what they were doing there and why I thought the program has not changed a whole lot. I do feel the new strength coach will be more motivating though.

 

[mbeckha]

How is that?

 

[jakerbluegold]

mbeckha,

Please get over yourself.

Sincerely,

[FightingIrishLover7]

How is that?

By improving strength you can improve your athleticism and increase your talent on the field... So you can back off now.

 

[mbeckha]

For one that really doesn't answer how Longo is going to increase the talent, considering talent is a special natural ability by definition. Also if your theory is true, why do we not just recruit from the world's strongest man competition if strength=athleticsim=talent?

You know I don't know why you gus have to give me such a hard time. I am trying to get you understand what is going on. I ony question thoughts becasue i want to hear what you have to say, other than this guy is gonna be the "all time greatest". I mean lets talk and be sensible about this topic. We all are here for Notre Dame and wanting success for the them. So when I write somethiing just know I am writing it to inform you on whats wrong and whats right. If you make a good point I will be first to tell you.

Are you serious? You don't know why we give you such a hard time??? Have you read any of my posts? I broke down plenty of your quotes individually for you. You would be fine if:

A. you didn't belittle everyone who doesn't share your vision or knowledge (and then act like you are an innocent little child)

B. you didn;t act like such a pompous a*hole. Go look at my old post in which I quoted some of the things you said. That doesn't sound conceited to you at all? How do expect people to react to a guy who calls us stupid and brags on himself. Again, there is a way to be knowledge and not come across like a blowhard. BGIF does it all the time (dude is a fountain of knowledge). I read his posts and learn something, and when I disagree we talk about it. I read your posts and I want to punch you in the mouth. Quotes like this from you are why:

Im very successful at everything.

Dude, Jose Canseco called. He thinks you need to tone it down a bit...

 

[IrishBlood81]

Im very successful at everything.

wow no way. so like even Capoeira, Golf, Taekwondo, Swimming, Parkour and all of em?!
And I'm sure you very humble in everything too, right?

Also if your theory is true, why do we not just recruit from the world's strongest man competition if strength=athleticsim=talent?

hmmm yeah man I don't think that would work cause like they wouldn't be fast AT ALL, and they way too old for Collage ball. It would be nice though to have a couple of those dudes on our O Line ya know?

Also, ever heard of spell check or, like NDinLA has said, READING what you've wrote? Cause if I didn't have anything better to do I'd go and quote all your post and Bold your misspellings, lucky for you I do have better things to do .

I said I was sorry for hurting peoples feelings. I do not mean to belittle them. Like you said about BGIF being the foundation of knowledge, that how i am with Exercise science and strength and conditioning, so you should be learning something and quit getting so angry and be happy I want all irish fans to learn whats right from wrong.

Angry? LOL. Annoyed is more like it. I'm just laughing because you simply have no clue. Even when you try to apologize you screw it up. "I'm sorry I hurt people's feelings." WTF??? Nobody's feelings were hurt. You have to care to have your feelings hurt, and judging by the comments on this thread nobody cares about what you say (because you don't know HOW to say it). You didn't hurt feelings, you pissed people off. Big difference.

Anyways, the more I read from you the more child-like you sound. We get it...you're a self-proclaimed expert who knows more about exercise science than Paul Longo. Tiny difference being, you part-time teach high school kids on the subject and you run a website, while he's worked his way up through the system all the way up to the mecca of college football. Call me crazy, but I'm going to side with Longo on this one.

Bottom line, state your opinion, just don't talk sh!t to people. Really simple...

Anger!

Im an athletic director. I took this career route because in that industry of S&C, its all about who you know, not what you know. Therefore you could go your whole career and get left out, even if your the top guy. I also like being the athletic director because you get oversee everything. I dont run a website. It's doesnt need care. I just made it for kids and other like you who might want to learn.

I dont talk sh#t, I point out things for people. Also I have said I was sorry for the guy who took it personally. I dont know why you keep this up. I would just like to focus on the thread of Notre Dame's S&C program. Which is way more important on whether or not if you like me or my opinions. I have been very nice since my apology, so just let it go and get focused on S&C.
