1991 Chicago Bulls lifting on game day 😤 Back when most thought it was crazy. The Bulls knew better: morning weights kept them strong, physical, and fresh through the long season + playoffs. MJ & Scottie didn’t skip it. Neither should you. In-season lifting = non-negotiable

Every HS athlete would be a lot better as an athlete and in their sport(s), if they all took at least 2x months a year to only play their sport 2x wk at most and got in the weight room 3-4x wk over 4-8 wks to build up as much strength, speed, power aka a true mini off-season. Especially for 1-2 sport athletes. HS Kids are never in a true off-season. HS coaches. Parents. Club directors. KIDS! need to see that this is much better model for long term health and success as an athlete.

Remember when Pizza Hut had the promotion where you got a Final Four basketball with your order? Peak 90s nostalgia.

GET THEM IN THE WEIGHTROOM EARLY AND OFTEN!

The Weight Room Is the Best Classroom in a School (Opinion) edweek.org/teaching-learn…

Tempo -Tempo as identity not a tool -Creates tired and un-sound defense -Stealing yds and explosive plays -More snaps more chances to score

It’s Saturday! We all know what that means… Taste the goodness of the biscuit today and everyday.

That's one way to learn how to count 😂

Played juco with a guy who literally couldn’t play right field because he was too close to an elementary school

Mike Leach shares a must-listen postgame message on resilience, adversity, and failure. "Nothing is really, really, really fun unless it's hard. Nothing is really fun unless it's hard." "We've got to embrace that things are gonna be hard. We've got to embrace to be excited when things are hard." Successful people don't fear obstacles - they embrace them. "You gotta embrace to be excited about it being hard and playing extremely hard." "Even if you get way up on somebody, you want to be as hard as you possibly can because you're pushing yourself. And all of a sudden you're making great plays, you're doing things that you've never done before." Growth requires discomfort. You have to be willing to look bad before you get better. Then he ended with one line: "Embrace the fact that it's hard. Never hope that it's easy." If you only chase what's easy, you'll never become great. Embrace the hard because that is where growth, success, and character are built. (🎥 Washington State)

Tense moments

@coach_tack No way to DM you but I’m open to swap some ideas

Looking to bounce some ideas off a coach who enjoys running WR screens! DM me if you’re up for taking some ball. 💪🏼 🏈

@apmaul @Andy_Villamarzo No one ever tells u that public schools really struggle when this is done

@Andy_Villamarzo In WA separating Public & Private is not the answer. In fact, it would make things worse.Holding both Public & Private to the rules of the state association is the first step & most important IMO. Both have different advantages but must be held accountable to the rules.

The public vs private school debate is raging throughout the high school athletics scene across America 🔥 30 Nevada schools just went independent to avoid private competition. Alabama recently made history with a split. 41 states still combine them. Story: on3.com/high-school/ne…
