A fantastic career for Jim McFarland! Thank you HRTA for helping to recognize his contributions.

Finalizing the winter in-season lifting schedule. All of our teams are lifting again. That’s 8 different sports with 20 total high school teams from all levels. Our weight rooms are going to be busy!! #YourWorkHabitsDetermineYourFuture #StackBoulders



We’re told to exercise because it’s “good for us”. But are health benefits enough incentive for most people to exercise regularly? Truth is, most health benefits associated with exercise are both time-delayed and intangible. And both of these factors tend to devalue these benefits. Couple this with our tendency to: - Avoid effort - Prioritise immediate rewards, and - Play down our risk of future negative events For many, the short-term costs of exercise outweigh the long-term benefits. It’s tough to compete with other more sedentary options providing immediate rewards with minimal (or no) effort. Part of the solution? To increase our focus on the many short-term benefits of exercise - such as enhanced pleasure, mood, or enjoyment. If we don’t exercise for long-term health benefits, we should just because it can make us feel good. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36334885/

@Raider_SC Earlier this year, HHS teacher, Jim McFarland, was once again published in JOPERD for his work in developing resistance training skill literacy in youth. Congrats!
