Remember what it said in this space yesterday about the ancillary value of Dartmouth football coach Buddy Teevens' role in the Practice Like Pros movement? Check this from the Chicago Sun-Times:Pro football Hall of Famer and former Bears coach Mike Ditka will address the Illinois High School Association about the need to reduce tackling in high school football practice on Wednesday in Oak Brook.
Ditka and Dartmouth coach Buddy Teevens are joining Practice Like Pros, a national movement to advocate less contact on high school practice fields. One study shows that 60-75 percent of head trauma in high school football is suffered in practice and not in games.
