Two words: Overhead Squat
I’m not talking about P5 and such, but lower level D1, FCS, DII.
They are going to make a kid do an overhead squat with just the bar. Great measure of if the kid is an athlete who can bend, and therefore an athlete that can get better with real body strength, flexibility, and functional movements.
Edit: I’m not talking about a lift to do everyday or trying to turn this into the best lift for athletes thread. I’m literally saying that these schools will make the kid do an overhead squat in from of them with just the bar, then will cross the kid off their list if he can’t do it.
