<p>I'm sure that by the end of "real tech," you don't fall on the ground so exhausted that you don't even have the power to gulp water down your throat.</p>
<p>I'm talking about hardcore conditioning for men's basketball.</p>
<p>Yeah, I've never told any of my teammates before, but I've wished that God would smite me in the middle of conditioning before in a serious manner. I lol'd after practice when my heart caught up with my breathing. And it's even worse for me with a naturally high heart rate and high blood pressure. </p>
<p>I've been to the point where I couldn't even move my legs, literally.</p>
<p>Yeah, during the beginning of conditioning, I would literally just fall to the ground and not move for a few minutes (can't feel my arms or legs) then ice my feet.</p>
<p>repzolow, actually, I have done that many times. </p>
<p>Again, have you ever worked tech on a play?</p>
<p>No I have not. I am not implying that tech doesn't require tremendous effort. I'm sure it does.</p>
<p>But honestly, in all sincerity, forgive and trust me, I am SURE it is not as difficult as my basketball conditioning.</p>

<p>Maybe during your sports practice, but during your play teching thing?</p>
<p>Yes. During my "teching thing".</p>
<p>I didn't mean it as an insult, I just didn't know what it was called. And still don't.</p>
<p>But, I have to be honest, I think that says something about you more than about the intensity of that "teching thing." </p>
<p>Do you look like this guy when you do that thing? </p>
<p>^ Well, I'm not a middle-aged balding guy, but by the end I am drenched in sweat and can barely move.</p>
<p>Um...it's almost universally known that basketball and american football are the two most physically demanding major sports. A 10 hour block of research or acting is nothing compared to 10 hours of practice.</p>
<p>Research? Acting? NO! </p>
<p>Tech. As in the people who ACTUALLY do everything. Meaning building, moving everything, installing lights, doing sound, etc.</p>
<p>Installing lights, building, moving props, and fiddling with a computer is as physically demanding as what an athlete does?</p>
<p>I don't doubt it's demaniding, but c'mon. Even construction workers don't compare the physical demand of their jobs to the physical demand of sports practices at high school level and beyond.</p>
<p>Again, have you ever done both? I am speaking as somebody who has.</p>
<p>Try doing 2 suicides within 5 minutes or foot-fliers for a minute straight (and this would be part of an easy practice) and then come back to me. LOL @ sports lacking mental activation. I guess you play soccer.</p>

<p>You have to understand how ridiculous this sounds to me. It just makes me question how physically demanding these sports practices are that you claim to have done.</p>
<p>^ I have. I was on basketball for one season before I didn't like it. You try going through one tech Saturday (usually around 21 hour long) and get back to me.</p>
<p>And again, I don't care how ridiculous it sounds to you. Until you have done both you cannot call it ridiculous.</p>
<p>I haven't done both, but I have seen the teching thing done. Not comparable. </p>
<p>And 21 hours says it all right there. There's no way you can do something as physically demanding as we have described for 21 hours.</p>
<p>You didn't like it because you weren't in good enough shape for even one suicide lol. I don't need to go to one of these tech events because this whole disussion is like saying SUNY Binghamton's engineering program is better than Stanford's.</p>
<p>I think I understand you now. </p>
<p>You feel the way you have described after 21 hours of "teching" rather than a couple hours of basketball practice. </p>
<p>Well of course you do, it's 21 hours. But a sports practice is about extreme physical demand 100% of the couple hours plus that it lasts, not 21 hours of much less extreme physical demand.</p>
