Living Inside the Boundaries

Boundaries can be seen from two different perspectives. They can be seen as restricting, confining, stifling, limiting and unfair, or they can be seen as a safe space to be able to freely operate. The boundaries created by the Return to Training 50/30/20/10 Conditioning and Testing Rule, and the F.I.T. Rule for Weight Training Activity were designed to create safe space for Strength and Conditioning Coaches to freely operate. This space allows for Strength Conditioning Coach to be who they are, while protecting the athlete, Strength and Conditioning Coach, Sport Coach, and University.
