Another thing that really bothers me about a lot of these players' stories is how they were humiliated in front of all their teammates, visitors, etc.
It wasn't like they just told the player to run sprints, or do 50 push ups..... they would make them log roll until they got so dizzy they puked..... or would have them run with a garbage can on their head, etc, etc. These stories have been pretty common in a lot of these players' complaints.
Why do you feel the need to absolutely humiliate them? We had an assistant baseball coach in high school that got fired for stuff like that. He would have players do similar things, just to humiliate them. He had a kid push a baseball bat from 1st base to 2nd base with his nose with his hands behind his back and on his knees.
This kind of stuff is just cruel and not needed at all.
