Well, I hate to say it, more "Wokeness" in sports.
In High School, we got our legs paddled from behind, if we weren't pushing the sled fast enough, luckily, that coach quit using the athletic tape wrapped piece of chain he had used in prior years.
Water was withheld, AKA Marine or military style, no water during practice, let alone Gatorade, and, we did three workouts a day.
I was the only person even using Gatorade, I took the powder form, and after every practice I drank 2 full quarts, I think that kept me able to do it.
We would get isolated, two on one drills, for half an hour at a time, one on one dummy drills were common.
At camp, they woke us up at 5.30 by busting into our dorm rooms and using a huge WW2 Air raid siren, and a steel garbage can beaten with a stick.
All that had changed in a few years, as the pussies took over and it became PC not to allow such cruelty.
Of course, the Championship teams went with the harsh, man making programs, and once Marine Corp discipline ended, so did the championships.
We played against Penn Hills, I was the same age as Bill Fralic, took the league title 3 years in a row, once I saw him at Pitt off the field, I was amazed at how big of a human he was.
Fucking moron, and an animal, he beat the shit out of small greek guy delivering pizzas while two other Pitt animals held the guys arms, and, the cops came and arrested the Pizza guy, because he took a swing at Fralic for smashing the top of his delivery pizza down into the pizza.
Anybody else would have been doing time for what he did, but hey, big Pitt Star, and a roid head, what do you expect?
