Actually it wasn't directed at you or at anyone in particular.
I think it's pretty clear that training for muscular endurance will give you more muscular endurance. The only problem I see with BB training is that isolation exercises doesn't involve the concerted movement of many muscle groups, which would be useful in a sports-related setting which requires coordinated and efficient movements. So I suppose high-rep compounds would be more useful than curlz and chest flys still.
I think it's also helpful to realize that increases of strength isn't wholly separate from endurance. You can train solely for strength and increase the amount of reps you can do at lower weight.
Of course, these are just generalities and a good understanding of how muscular endurance can be applied will come from an understanding of the different energy systems your body uses. It also may not be worth investigating in the first place because, for most people, simply practicing the technique of whatever sport they're interested in will be the #1 factor in developing the necessary endurance.
