I most certainly would. Now whether or not the 2-a-days had any affect on TS blowing out his knee before the season ever started that year no one will ever know. But I do know that season could have taken on a whole different tone had he not been injured. Honestly other than possibly developing mental toughness there is a lot more risk than reward with 2-a-days. Is harder to have a 2-a-day practice then a day of rest than it is to go day after day after day with no break in between to rest?
