@soudipop @scottmarks45 he said 8th gr and AGAIN at sophomore
English
There’s two main reasons why participation drops at the 8th grade level and again at the sophomore level:
1. Puberty-enhanced interest in girls
2. Drivers’ Licenses-Mom &Dad no longer the ball and chain.
Purely anecdotal evidence acquired in my 35 years of coaching & scouting
Phillip Burleigh@thereallsu777
Want to know why kids quit playing after 12u....this is the real reason. The big field doesnt care who mommy & daddy are. no more trophies for everyone All that matters...do your skills scale enough to succeed on the big field & do you have the physical skill to succeed! period!

@chriscfore Helmes was talking about baseball not football.
And yes, it is/has been that way for about 10 years now for baseball. Boys basketball and girls volleyball about the same. (GVB maybe not interstate travel, but almost year round club).
Also: varisty, and starters
English
My oldest kid never played tackle football until 9th grade.
He played rec league flag football in the city.
We spent about $70 per season,
plus cleats.
He was All CIF, All League, Team Captain and team's most valuable offensive player twice, as a lineman.
150 kids in the program.
Jason Helmes@anymanfitness
Bad news, dude: If your kid doesn’t play travel/AAU they have no chance of playing varsity in high school. Only exceptions would be small, rural schools without many players to choose from. Any decent sized high school, every kid on varsity plays travel.
English
@Packer_an @DiTlamZ Biomechanically, lane 8 is the best lane for curved runs...you can run faster w/ less curve, especially when talking about elite sprinters. 400m WR was lane 9.
English
Letsile Tebogo literally ran the first 200m of yesterday's race in 19.30 seconds according to Splits.. 😰😰😰🥶🥶
English
@BrianHawkins4 @Tier1athlete @cjrecruiting2 Too many variables. Its like comparing NFL combine 225-bench-for-reps to what a bonafide powerlifter does on his 3rd attempt bench press.
We had one 4.7-high kid who ran 11.17 wind legal this year.
We had several 4.7- 4.8 who could not break under 12.00.
English
@MikeBasic2 @Tier1athlete @cjrecruiting2 Yep no purpose for Track and Field but when you have these grossly inaccurate 40 estimates being determined with no reliable evidence it does a lot of harm giving kids unrealistic prediction times. There have been a few meets that have done it
English
Parents always ask me why is the 40 yard dash so important. Size & Speed is everything. Saw this graphic and why lie I AGREE
English
English
@Tier1athlete @cjrecruiting2 The delta would grow as the 100m
time grows. It would not be uniform 4/100’s at every 1/10th increment.
English
@BrianHawkins4 @Tier1athlete @cjrecruiting2 0-40 yard split (36.5m) at a 100m FAT track race? Makes no sense but ok.
Combine 40 yard dash does not include reaction time, and most football 40 yard dashes are actually worse (0.1 sec AFTER first movement). Most the start beam is a distance in front of the runner.
English
@Tier1athlete @cjrecruiting2 Oregon HS meet did a 40 split with a 100m race at Hayward field. Those 40 times are much slower than what’s on that chart.
English
@sam_gzstrength There is a whole genre of strictly physique-minded females doing only super high reps, burnouts, anything-but-heavy-squats, pump-work, etc. with very developed quads and glutes...
....so....
English
Just saw an influencer talk about how she trained heavy squats for 2-3 years, squatted 300+ at 125-130lbs bodyweight
But didn't like her leg growth
So she switched to a more specific Hypertrophy plan and saw growth
her post was about how the strength training was worthless and she should have done the higher rep range stuff all along
Another one who "build the base" with the barbell lifts then completely disregards what that base allowed them to do
English
@CoachThompson08 AZ pools together all the Divisional times at the various Div.Champ meets (prelims + finals).
..merges that list w/ the top 6 during the regular season...
Top 18 of that list goes to State to race in prelims and finals (9 lane track). Anyone at any sized school gets a shot.
English
Now that regional track meets are over, here comes my yearly rant. We have to find a way to get the fastest times or farthest marks to the state track meet. My thought is make the state meet prelims and finals. Top 2 from regional meet and next 10 best marks go. Thoughts?
English
@jredwa236 @j2_hands @0riettaRose She was talking about socialization and interaction with society, not grades/academics. Stay on topic.
She painted a picture of parents dropping their kids off a public school, like they're getting locked up in a Hanoi Hilton box or something.
English
@j2_hands @0riettaRose Just going to leave this here. I don’t think u have a clue what u r talking about.
English
Homeschool mom tackles the, "What about the real world?" question.
She says her kids are living in the real world & the ones who aren't are the kids spending 13 years in classrooms.
English
@AZSPORTSNETWORK @j2_hands We all make fun of what HCs get (don't get).
The minimal AC stipend isn't an incentive for a person to sign up to coach at a given program. If you divide out the hours put in by the pay its peanuts.
Also, many AC's aren't school staff.
They are doing 'it' for other reasons.
English
@j2_hands ok no doubt but I do not see ur point-the discussion is about the volunteer coaches in city schools-plus stipends huge advantage-IMO volunteer coaches should be limited
English
Stipends: I have thrown out this conversation many times and many do not like to talk about it (not sure why) and I have also talked about volunteer issues as well:
So how many programs in FB who live in Phoenix/Surrounding CITY areas only get 1 stipend for their FB program-I ask this because many many rural school have to deal with running a program with ONLY 1 stipend available to them
English
@LSDFootball @AZSPORTSNETWORK ... he was previously AD at Bishop Sycamore
English
@MikeBasic2 @AZSPORTSNETWORK It's scary how close you really are. I know that dude.
English
Tackle FB Hiring Update: Valley Sanders: The selected HC (name I cannot divulge) will be placed supposedly on the June Board Meeting for approval and no name can be released until it is approved.
English
@Brandon_L_Davis @pntrack ... and then every thing gets easier as you go up, Its like reverse-accommodating resistance. Easy-->nothing.
Landmine stuff useful for some core work I suppose
English
@pntrack With a landmine, gravity is really only working against you from 2 o’clock to 4 o’clock, if you were to look at the arc as a clock face.
With something like a landmine press or jerk, the initial position position already starts near the point of no resistance
English
I haven’t programmed any landmine movements in two years now.
At no point have I thought “man, we’d be a lot better if we brought the landmines back”
English
@LSDFootball @AZSPORTSNETWORK Head Coach Icann Naughtname

@AZSPORTSNETWORK How cool would this be:
Coach Colonel @ Sanders High
English
@AMPopps @AltamontXCTF @TrackCoachJones @MikeCunningham bingo!^ You can do that with Kinovea, Dartfish, most video apps.
You gotta get up high in the bleachers, press box. With modern cell phone cameras you can see the marks very well these days.
English
@AltamontXCTF @TrackCoachJones @MikeCunningham Well coupled with other data like speed of the baton through the box, you can work out a lot. Someone’s 100/200 pb doesn’t automatically translate to what they will do over 120-130m around a bend for example
English
Sprint relay splits, what do you think?!
We taking them?
Are they unicorns?
Is there a purpose?
Weigh in coaches!
@MikeCunningham @TrackCoachJones
Altamont Track & Field and XC@AltamontXCTF
On taking splits: A relay is about the team time. That’s why @Predamame can get endless miles out of the 4x800 bit, because EVERYONE obsesses over their own split… But the only thing that matters in a relay is the overall time.
English
@TrackCoachJones @AltamontXCTF @MikeCunningham I time our splits via video. You get up high by the press box and if there is no tents on the infield, you can see all the 100m marks.
Also, accountability for when you have to switch up the squad, etc. Some athletes run too safe into the zone.
English
@AltamontXCTF @MikeCunningham Sprint relay splits are inaccurate. There's no consistency in distance. One athlete could have a 90m zone while another has 105 or 110. It's fun for ego, and maybe even confidence for some, but it must be taken with a GIANT grain of salt. I'm not wasting my time with them.
English
@WSWayland kinda funny, because if that is the setup like on a typical cable crossover machine (2:1 & hi-lo pulley system), she is only doing half the weight (and the stack plates aren't very heavy to begin with on those machines )
#fakeweight
English
A small Japanese woman is doing full stack seated rows and you’re faffing around with single arm cable row rotational lunges.

@TFConsortium @apsportsperform ...better worded: you are stuck attacking a archetype of a bygone era coach. Sure a few of these still exist.
Likewise, authors of the article are attacking an extreme version of the 'you-only-need-max-V-sprinting-and-some-perfect-rep-practice-plays' coach
You two have fun🤣
English
The BS coaches keep shoveling 🤣
Power Athlete HQ@PowerAthleteHQ
“Just sprint more” sounds clean… until the fourth rep falls apart. Games aren’t won on one perfect sprint, they’re won on the ability to recover and go again. Speed without conditioning is only half a plan. READ NOW 🔗 powerathletehq.com/the-bs-coaches… #PowerAthlete #MoveTheDirt
English
@JesseFrisinger @CoachRLandrum I bet they do both; you ain't getting your evenings off. In hot climates they do field work in the AM. Weights during a class/daytime .... then film, scheming/install after school.
English
@CoachRLandrum I'm not a Texas coach. But I would love to practice in the mornings. Cooler, let's kids and coaches have evenings off for other activities like family dinners and school work. If people are worried about kid's sleep, let them.go to bed earlier!
English
The out of state people Quoting/commenting don’t understand. I’d LOVE to practice after school, but now there are rules saying if the Wet Bulb temp is too much, you may not even get a CHANCE to practice in PM. This school also starts at 7:15 AM, so they HAVE to start early.
VYPE Houston@vypehouston
THIS IS TEXAS HS FOOTBALL The Montgomery Bears Spring Ball starts at 5:45 AM …SHARP ☀️ @mhs_bears @MHSBearFB #txhsfb
English
@apsportsperform @TFConsortium Would you say if the "condescending tone" could be fixed,the article does makes some valid points.
He supports speed work; doesn't think 'conditioning'/work capacity can be only addressed w/ field practice/reps/plays/scrimmage work/games
Both sides are good at building strawmen
English
@MikeBasic2 @TFConsortium The tone of the article, then, is misleading and condescending. Maybe it is simply rage bait. Or, maybe he had an argument with a speed coach before he wrote it and was in a negative mood. 🤷♂️
