Coach Hersel

I have to give a huge shout out and thank you to @SimpliFaster @johndelf99 for featuring our facility. All the video work and editing was handled by our one and only @davisfrankw . @tjkelly17 @SaralandSchools @Superd3k

Sport coaches and parents love “sport specific” training because it eye tests true enough that it might actually work. Athletes love it because that 3lbs of band tension means they don’t actually have to put in real work. Strength coaches hate it because they understand the lack of transfer and the waste of precious time and energy resources.

“It doesn't take a genius to say, “I'm old school.” You know what old school is? It’s an excuse for being lazy and not wanting to learn. As a staff, we spend a considerable amount of time reading and researching the most productive way to train our athletes.”

This is the beauty of the WBC: A 29-year-old bearded electrician from Ostrava, Czechia who has played baseball his whole life in a country where very few play the sport helps Czechia qualify for its first-ever WBC, strikes out Shohei Ohtani on a pitch he says came out of his hand wrong, and becomes one of the faces of the Classic. Ondřej Satoria, who is retiring from the national team after this tournament, will leave Japan where he gets stopped for autographs and photos and receives standing ovations, and fly back to Ostrava where he’s a normal guy with a simple life. And while no one back home is stopping him in the streets for autographs, imagine the stories he’ll have for his 2-year-old son when he grows up. “The most important thing is that the baseball community from around the world now knows that Czechia plays baseball.” - @OndrejSatoria in @michaelsclair’s book “We Sacrifice Everything to Baseball” 🇨🇿

At KU Sport Performance Clinic and one stat stuck with me: Football = 38% of all injuries in an athletic department. We track reps. We track GPS. We track load. But most programs still don’t have a daily pulse on sleep. If player availability is the metric… Shouldn’t we pay attention to what athletes do every single night? Awareness has to come before optimization. @XaScore

When dealing with an injury, you should not: - stop training completely - RICE protocol 24/7 - be reckless - fill your body with junk Instead you should: - train around the injury - move around - stick to your rehab plan - prioritize sleep & nutrition - make good decisions

A man walked into a restaurant parking lot and stopped at a 1973 Corvette Stingray. He started telling stories about the one he used to own, the one he sold 40 years ago after proposing to his girlfriend so he could provide for her and her two kids. He wasn’t their biological father. He chose them. For 40 years he raised them as his own and never looked back. His daughter let him talk, let him remember, then handed him the keys. The licence plate reads “YDHT.” It stands for “You Didn’t Have To.”

Man notices an Eagle eyeing the fish he just caught... Wow!! 🦅

For anyone that enjoyed the recent RSA post with @ElonPerformance open.substack.com/pub/nickdimarc…

South Carolina exited the dugout after the second inning to shake hands with each member of Army’s team. Founders Park also played the Army fight song. The Gamecocks will do the same for Navy and Air Force this weekend.

You should always go for a walk after you eat. Here’s why 👇 A 10–15 min walk after meals can: -Reduce blood sugar spikes + crashes -Improve digestion + reduce bloating -Support insulin sensitivity over time Think of it like this: Eat ➝ blood sugar rises ➝ you walk ➝ muscles act like a sponge and pull sugar out of the blood. ✅Easy pace ✅10–20 min 🍽️ Best after your largest, carb-heavy meal Low-hanging fruit for health is taking plenty of walks!
