@ThadWells Drills! Thanks.

Coaching football isn’t about running the same drills every week. It’s about adjusting, adapting, and evolving your system to get the best out of your players based on film review. Comment "Drills" and I'll send you a free 5 page guide to better drills.

When it comes to energy drinks and student athletes my message is clear: If you need a pre-workout for energy but you skipped breakfast and barely drank any water running on 5 hours of sleep and expect an energy drink to "give you the boost" you are doing the equivalent to rearranging furniture on a sinking ship. Energy drinks are not the right way to fuel workouts, and both high school and college athletes should focus on proper nutrition in the hours leading up to training, getting adequate sleep the night before and hydration instead. The Truth About Energy Drinks Many athletes turn to energy drinks for a quick boost before training or competition. These drinks often contain high levels of caffeine, added sugars, and artificial ingredients that may provide short-term stimulation but can have negative long-term effects. I encourage parents to exercise extreme caution if purchasing these drinks for their athletes. Furthermore I am against any athlete relying on these dangerous drink for "energy" when it is clear they did not eat enough meals and drink fluids leading up to training. We get our energy from real food. Excessive caffeine intake can lead to poor appetite, anxiety, increased heart rate, and disrupted sleep patterns—all of which can impair performance and recovery. Caffeine can give you a temporary lift, but it’s not a substitute for proper nutrition. Irlbeck explains. Too many athletes think they need an energy drink to perform well, when in reality, they need to focus on quality meals and hydration strategies. Fueling Workouts the Right Way Incorporate plenty of whole foods that provide a steady release of energy, rather than the quick spike and crash associated with sugary beverages. Simple nutrition tips for high school and college athletes: Prioritize Complex Carbohydrates – Carbs are the body’s primary energy source, especially for high-intensity sports. Grab some cherry juice, berries, banana, or sweet potatoes to provide lasting fuel. Right before a workout you can use honey, applesauce or pretzels for quick fuel! Include High-Quality Protein – Protein supports muscle repair and growth. Lean meats, eggs, Greek yogurt, and plant-based proteins like beans and tofu should be staples in an athlete’s diet. Hydrate Properly – Water is the best hydration choice. For longer workouts, athletes can use electrolyte-rich drinks like coconut water or add a pinch of sea salt to their water for sodium balance. Instead of energy drinks, Irlbeck recommends foods that provide natural energy, such as nuts, seeds, and fruit. A pre-workout snack like a banana with a smoothie with berries and Greek yogurt can provide sustainable energy. Plan for Recovery – Post-workout nutrition is just as important as pre-workout fuel. Consuming a mix of protein and carbohydrates within 30-60 minutes after exercise helps replenish glycogen stores and repair muscles. Examples include chocolate milk, a turkey sandwich, orange, creatine protein smoothie. The Bottom Line My approach to sports nutrition is rooted in real, whole foods, consistency in routine, sleep, hydration and route rather than quick fixes. Energy drinks may seem like an easy way to boost performance, but their negative effects outweigh any short-term benefits. For sustained energy, improved endurance, and optimal recovery, high school and college athletes should focus on a nutrient-dense diet, proper hydration, and strategic meal timing. Athletes who fuel their bodies properly will always have the competitive edge! It’s not about quick energy—it’s about lasting performance. Nutrition is your secret weapon. By making smart nutrition choices, young athletes can maximize their potential, stay healthy, and perform at their best without relying on artificial stimulants.

If you read my post about finding the goodness in loss or hard moments I said I would share this video. My husband Doug has been at the top of this sport. He has won a state title, a NCAA title, the US Open, World Team trials, placed 5th at the world, and was an Olympian. Through all that he has experienced his fair share of losses and getting through them. Our son participated in his first HS state tournament and although he came up short taking home 2nd, Doug did not have a lack of words to share with other parents who have or will go through it from his new perspective of a parent of a HS athlete. So much goodness packed into this. I challenge every parent to watch it, especially those with kids in some sort of even/sport that they compete in. Doug not only talks about validating your child's feelings because of the work it took to get there, but he speaks to the things he as an athlete experienced just now from the perspective of a parent of a High School kid. By far this is one of his best talks and knowing how his heart hurt for his kid, while probably tuning back into some of his own losses made this even more relatable. I know one thing- I'm lucky that our kids, both our own and the ones that will be joining us at UNI eventually have someone like him under the tunnel in these moments. Although my heart ached matside and I was probably 30 yards from my kid in one of his most vulnerable and defeating moments, I knew he didn't need me, he needed him. @schwabwrestling

This is so good! Fantastic message here. I love this sport! I know I’m bias, but wrestling is just different. On the mat or in life you have to be willing to compete, fight and get tough when it’s not easy. Now excuse me as I go run through a brick wall!

So important! 🙌
