About hosting the 150 or so participants in the Hawaii Strength and Conditioning Clinic for coaches tomorrow, the first time he's hosting that Clinic for strength coaches, trainers, kinesiology students and physical therapists, Tommy Heffernan said:
"We have a wide pool. It's an opportunity for continuing education for all of these professionals. We didn't have that before. The closest you could get something like this before was California." (HSB)
Note: Heffernan is one course away from a MS in Kinesiology.
HSB Note: "Sponsors make the event affordable, he said, and the lecturers aren't getting paid — revenue goes to a foundation for upgrading the UH training facilities."
About how all Warrior players need to be serious about their offseason workouts, Heffernan said:
"The No. 1 thing is discipline. Don't miss workouts, show up ready to go. It's gotten better. We had to pound some guys early." (HSB)
About how the entire team has to do grass drill punishments when even just a few people make mistakes, Heffernan said:
"As part of a team, you have to learn that one's actions affect all." (HSB)
Asked about how 3rd basemen backed up to medium-deep left field when he batted in softball in the 1990s in the park leagues, Heffernan laughed and said that fielders aren't scared of him anymore:
"No. They're not scared anymore. I had my time and enjoyed it." (HSB)
HSB Note: "Heffernan held a kickball tournament, including former UH athletes last May, as a benefit event for the weight room. Players on 16 teams flashed back to elementary school and those big red balls."
About how they had a fun time with kickball last May, Heffernan said:
"Everybody had a lot of fun, running around barefoot, slippers on your hands. And you don't have to be a great athlete." (HSB)
