Start by feeding these prospects.  Get these prospects some weights between meals.  The core should be first, followed by legs and then arms.  Followed by the best stretching routine available today with as much ice time as possible.    When they enter the N they should be Strong, Fast, Agile and Confident.... Not wide-eyed and pushed around.
