Even though this thread is extremely old, I think it is still a relevant topic to discuss today. I feel many high school coaches are running kids too much and only doing it for their own ego. Once the kids get out of high school they don't perform in college and usually quit running all together.

Wrong.
With that logic, they shouldn't train at all in high school, realize they suck and quit in high school. That way, they'll save themselves from being great in high school only to end up quitting in college.
I never said they said they shouldn't train in high school, I just said that coaches are running kids way too much that they have no ability to get any better after high school. It makes no sense to run kids in high school at 80+ miles per week.
The star football player should only practice 3 days a week too. That way he won't get discouraged in college if he doesn't improve a lot.
