It IS okay to lift on gameday. There are numerous benefits. I talked about this with my classes earlier this semester. Get gameday ready!

Girls are 2–8x more likely to tear their ACL than boys. But it’s not because they’re “fragile.” 👉 Let’s talk about what actually drives risk.

Athletes thrive when they can gamify training. We've created an athleticism index where every trait gets scored like a video game If you'd be interested in a scoring system like this, reply with a 🔥 down below

@cfphillips1 throws a no-hitter, aiding the Lions' victory and advancement to the state tournament! They will face North Boone on Friday at 3 PM in Peoria!

In-season training isn’t an option for the high performing athlete… It’s a necessity. If you want to dominate in the post season, NEVER STOP TRAINING!🙌🏻💪🏻

You’re not getting hurt because you “lift.” It’s probably: - The fact that you take no days off & play your sport non stop - Your sport coach beats your brakes off w/ nonstop running & leaves you open to soft tissue injuries - You have piss poor nutrition Ticking time bomb

Would you look at the absolute HAUL we got from Coach Nick Hill and @SIU_Football… I truly cannot believe this box! Thank you to all the SALUKIS for this amazing swag I absolutely love it!!

#7... Carterville, 2008, 38-2, Head Coach Brett Diel. Won the State Championship game 13-2. Was dominant the entire season. Pitcher Brittany Ashton finished with a sub ERA of 0.25. This team outscored their opponents 308 to 17 for the season. We are one week away.

As a high school athlete, don’t take the cheap/harmful way out and take PEDs. You’d be surprised how far quality programming, protein, and 5g of creatine daily will take you. Become educated!

GAMEDAY lifting 👍🏻

The science on creatine supplementation is crazy. It - increases muscle strength and power - enhances exercise performance and recovery - boosts lean muscle mass growth - improves cognitive performance and memory - supports brain health and aging - reduces fatigue during intense exercise - aids muscle recovery and soreness - improves hydration in muscle cells - may enhance bone strength - supports mental health in depression - improves high-intensity interval performance - protects against age-related muscle loss - enhances short-term memory retention - improves anaerobic energy system function - supports overall brain energy metabolism Almost anyone will benefit from taking it.

Myths about strength training: - Can’t lift same day as a practice - Can’t lift after a game - You’ll always be “sore,” the next day - It’ll make you bulky/ruin your mechanics - You should only lift in the off-season - It’s not safe for children If done right, these are false

If I were an un athletic teenager who wanted to get: - Faster - Stronger - More explosive Here is exactly what I’d do in 2025 to make sure I start 2026 as a better athlete:

In-season lifting is the single most valuable tool in physical development. Ceasing all training when season begins is why your players aren’t physically capable of more year after year.

Jefferson Curls remind me of trying to teach kids how to Barbell RDL for the first time…

85s in each hand for 3 reps by this HS sophomore. Lift the weights. That is all.

If you’re doing 10 sprints in a 2 minute span, you’re not “speed training.” If you’re doing sets 15 box jumps rapidly you’re not building power If you’re doing “90%,” of your max for 10… no you’re not Things work if applied the right way Rest, move full speed, keep reps low

Any strength coaches out there know where I can get the Just Jump Mat controller only for sale? Walked into our weight room today and found this. We do vertical testing frequently…

Goal for the workout today? Get moving. Not much rhyme or reason to it. Vert Test (31.6in 🤮) 5x2 power clean 1mi run 400m walking lunges Back from vacation and ready to get back to work this week. Go Lions!
