I have had the opportunity to sit in at a couple of Mack Brown Women's Clinics. It's usually a drinking affair with catering and women sitting auditorium-style listening to Mack Brown, a couple of the coaches and players, and Mack's wife taking questions and talking about the upcoming season.
This year, however, things were VERY different. Under Charlie Strong, the women weren't just sitting and listening to coaches talk about the season, they were able to experience the workouts for themselves. Strong had all of the women on the field, doing workouts, and didn't have alcohol at the event. Each coach was allotted ten minutes to speak, and every coach spoke.
To me, this really speaks to the difference between Coach Brown and Coach Strong. Though many of the women were turned off to the clinic because they were accustomed to eating catered meals and drinking alcohol, there was a large turnout with many women participating in the athletic events. Many even said that they enjoyed experiencing the workouts like an actual clinic as opposed to just listening to what the season was hoping to be like.
In my opinion, Coach Strong used the Women's Clinic to make another statement in the different coaching style that he elects to use. He wanted the women to put in work and to not just listen to coaches, but experience the life of a Texas football player.
Any thoughts or comments? I'd love to hear what you all think about this.
