I’ve been posting a lot about Ambassador Christian lately. It strikes me they are such an easy fit for the NCISAA and the local CISAA conference. And it would increase the competitive balance for the state playoffs, too About time @NCISAA1

Reminder to athletes, coaches, & parents everywhere. The best S&C program in the world can’t prevent all injuries. Injury “prevention” is no such thing. Can only mitigate the risk of those injuries happening.

“Coach, you ever seen beevis and butthead? You look like someone on there…” 🫠

How much creatine should you take? It depends on your goals. I typically take around 10 grams daily because this dose seems ideal for maximizing muscle strength, bone health, and brain benefits—advantages that might not fully appear at lower doses. Higher amounts, around 20 grams per day, aren't usually necessary for everyone. However, they might offer significant benefits if you're experiencing sleep deprivation, metabolic stress, or concerned about cognitive decline. In fact, recent research found that taking 20 grams of creatine daily for 8 weeks noticeably improved cognitive function in Alzheimer's patients. For most people, a daily dose of 5-10 grams is sufficient to experience noticeable benefits.

Found myself using the cue “Don’t show me the bottom of your feet” to help improve heel recovery in sprint drills a lot lately. Simplicity is key!

So we shouldn't pull kids from PE for other classes?! 😉 😁

Don’t you need to condition your athletes? Yes, but not too much. Athlete A = max speed 20mph; 4th quarter has 80% left 80% of 20mph = 16mph Athlete B = max speed 17mph; 4th quarter has 90% left 90% of 17 mph = 15.3mph Athlete A still wins Speed is king 👑 @pntrack
