How important is the training in American football?

American Football, like many other sports, has a history of coaches with a poor understanding of the sport's demands inflicting upon players the necessity to run laps of the pitch, and engage in other forms of training at odds with the sport's unique demands. With a constant stop start style to the play, with the average play lasting no longer than ten seconds, followed by a much longer rest period, its demands are closer to traditional sprinting and weight training methods, than sports such as Rugby or Boxing, where there is a much greater endurance element required. At the same time, the sport has a big element of lateral mobility and technical considerations to consider, absent from pure speed or strength sports.

Given the wide range of requirements for the different positions in football, this article will focus on planning the training for a typical week for Linebackers, Backs and Strong Safeties, although the advice is applicable to most positions except Kickers and Offensive/Defensive Linemen. Even then, many of the elements would remain broadly similar for these positions.

Where did Mount Gambier get its name?

The extinct volcano of Mount Gambier, around which the city of the same name is built, lies between Melbourne (Victoria) and Adelaide (South Australia). James Grant was a young lieutenant who went out on a survey voyage of the southern coast. He was ordered to claim in the King's name any large rivers and good pastureland, as long as he did so only with the consent of any native inhabitants who might be present. On 3 December 1800, Grant discovered and named Cape Northumberland. Beyond Cape Northumberland, he sighted Mount Gambier, naming it after Admiral Lord James Gambier, who had commanded the fleet at the Battle of Copenhagen.

Why was Cape Catastrophe so named?

Cape Catastrophe in South Australia was named by Matthew Flinders. The area was notorious for shipwrecks in the nineteenth century, but the first recorded shipwreck occurred while Flinders was circumnavigating the Australian continent.

As well as the Investigator, Flinders had a small cutter which was used for landing parties. In February 1802, the cutter's captain went to search for water with a crew of eight. None of them returned. Another man was sent to serach for the cutter, but he returned alone, finding only evidence that the cutter had been wrecked on the rocks. Despite searching the coastline extensively, no survivors from the cutter were found: hence Flinders' naming of the cape Cape Catastrophe.

Who discovered and founded Adelaide?

Adelaide was founded by Colonel William Light in 1836. However, its site was originally discovered by Captain Collet Barker.

In April 1831, Barker was sent by Governor Darling to explore southern Australia, following Charles Sturt's discoveries of the mouth of the Murray River. Barker explored around the eastern side of Gulf St Vincent, climbed Mt Lofty, and determined a suitable port for the future city of Adelaide. However, whilst swimming across the channel where the Murray meets the sea at Lake Alexandrina, Barker was speared to death by Aborigines.

Light was the first Surveyor-General of South Australia. He arrived in South Australia in 1836 to decide on a suitable site for a new settlement, which would be the first in that region of Australia. He explored Encounter Bay and nearby regions until he discovered Port Adelaide which Barker had noted in his journals. Light's deputy, George Kingston, discovered the Torrens River flowing from the Mt Lofty ranges and, as a result, Light approved the site for the settlement of Adelaide. He described "nearly six miles of a beautiful flat ... affording an immense plain of level and advantageous ground for occupation..."

Light surveyed and designed Adelaide, laying out and naming the main streets and squares in 1837.
