Conditioned to lose
by Ross Tucker

I have had some heated debates about this on this board. Of course I bring a nice little article to help my side of the debate, that injuries are preventable if you do the right training in the offseason.
I brought this up a lot when "The Same Ol' Cardinals" always seemed to have a million injuries every year, and always to some key player before the season started.
It seems that the mixture of bringing Jon Lott in, as well as a new training facility has helped the Cardinals stay healthier (knock on wood).
I still stick by the notion that the strength and conditioning coach, as Mr. Tucker says, is responsible for injury prevention.
