That's it. That's the problem with highschool football strength and conditioning. The kids always go too light and don't want to max out all the time. College too. The guys get hurt because they're underworked

Here are some catching highlights from this weeks series vs Hinsdale Central. 3 runners CS @canes_illinois @BaseballGBW @ADrago18 @j_degeorge @coachsettle_ @PrepBaseballIL @BUncommitted @PB_Uncommitted @PG_Illinois @PG_Uncommitted

Great few weeks driving balls to right center, center, left and a bomb. Pitching well too in conference. 3 weeks left! Set another PR with 525 squats at 198 body weight. #GrindNeverStops @coachsettle_ @OEHSbaseball @CoachBreezy8 @canes_illinois @wallycrancer @zwalk3 @Parqman40

@robert23190 @ILFreedomCaucus They just want tax certainty. They’ve said multiple times they’re more than willing to pay taxes. They just don’t want the school districts coming in after 2 years and demanding their taxes increase significantly. Which all those school districts would definitely do.

Pritzker and his Springfield cronies just rammed through HB910—handing billionaire Bears owners massive property tax breaks while slamming the bill onto hardworking Illinois families, but the McCaskeys aren’t satisfied and want more! Taxpayers get fleeced, McCaskeys get a stadium—and still demand more, and Pritzker is proud of it.

🚨JUST PASSED THE HOUSE🚨 The Illinois House just passed HB910 - the Mega Projects Bill (the bill containing a Chicago Bears Stadium Deal) This bill is one of the most dangerous property tax bills passed in recent history. The Illinois Freedom Caucus voted NO, and here is why: As this bill is written now: - Gives mega projects and billionaire corporations hundreds of millions of dollars in property tax breaks, while shifting the burden to local property owners. The result? Taxing people out of their homes and decimating middle class families. - Brings no comprehensive tax relief to everyday families and small businesses. As the House is bending over backwards to support mega projects, they have no real plan to help working families. - Opens up constitutional concerns about unfair and unequal taxation, potentially resulting in a legal challenge and opening the state up to unknown fiscal liabilities. As Republicans, we are supposed to believe in lowering taxes and protecting taxpayers. That is why it's extremely concerning to see several Republican lawmakers voted YES on this bill. We believe these votes completely undermine the credibility of our colleagues in the Republican caucus to talk about property taxes, the number one issue in Illinois. Let us be clear, we want the Bears to stay in Illinois, and we want other future economic developments in Illinois as well. We are not opposed to the concept of mega projects. However, as has been our position since day 1, bailouts for billion dollar corporations on the backs of working families and taxpayers are completely unacceptable. This process has been shoved down our throats this week because JB Pritzker and the Democrats are desperate to keep the Bears in Illinois, no matter the consequences to property tax payers. The Democrats have made Illinois so economically unviable to do business that large corporations such as the Bears have no choice but to look to other states, like Indiana. The Democrats and JB Pritzker need to find a new plan, and ditch their tired old habits of solving every problem by sticking it to Illinois' taxpayers. They can't afford it anymore.

Wow more pro athletes doing basic strength exercises, squatting & getting stronger? Not balancing on a bosu ball or training for the circus? Learn from it. Fundamentals = 🔑 Simple ≠ easy

@JamesFox917 Public schools in Texas have GM’s. Illinois public schools are just behind in the times.

They need a GM to handle recruiting. Oh wait. Private schools don’t recruit. Nevermind.

Team had another good week going 3-1. Had a good game against Batavia. Always grinding to be better. Also set my new PR at 510 lbs at 200 bodyweight this week. @OEHSbaseball @CoachBreezy8 @coachsettle_ @wallycrancer @CoachLeBlanc1 @canes_illinois #GrindNeverStops

Trap bar deadlifts, rows, bench press, explosive medicine ball work, cuts & sprints Notice: no circus tricks on bosu balls or eyewash Good for the pros, great for the youth athlete Simple ≠ easy

The average parent thinks their 12 year old needs different exercises, strobe lights & fancy training Another pro team hammering basics, fundamentals & doing it with intent Simple ≠ easy

This study modeled peak muscle forces across four running speeds and the numbers tell you something important about what sprinting demands. The hamstrings go from 2.10 times bodyweight at 3.49 m/s to 8.95 at 8.99 m/s. The iliopsoas shows a similar jump, rising to 9.04 times

Nolan McLean's Sweeper broke 26 inches and is absolutely dotted. 😳 "I don't know if I've ever seen anyone throw stuff that moves in that way."

Where were you when Sammy Sosa obliterated a GPS measured 536-foot homerun down Kenmore Avenue off Brewers pitcher Luis Vizcaíno?

A lot of what gets called innovative now is just old training with better marketing. Different language or packaging, but same underlying ideas. That doesn’t mean every old method was perfect. It means good coaches have been solving the same problems for a long time…how to

💯 “Boring before brilliance.” Paul Skenes details his routine Young athletes want to constantly do something new or novel Often avoiding routine, fundamentals & what works… “Sometimes it’s what it takes in sports The boring process, the boring fundamentals.” LISTEN:

If you think anything but football moves the needle you’re wrong.

Yet another program investing MAJOR $ into their weight room & facilities All the proof you need for how important getting strong & explosive is to athletes It’s the BEST way to: 1. Improve performance 2. Reduce injury 3. Develop 🎯 Focus on it
