Annual Summer Statement:

Athletes Choices During Summer

- Find a good sport performance gym and follow their plan.

- Stay on campus and work with coaches.

- Join a good gym and follow summer program.

You reap what you sow.

It’s an illusion of choices. You must work.

When it comes to protein supplementation and resistance training...

If you want to:
-Increase muscle mass
-Increase strength

1) Consume protein before and after exercise
2) Consume protein before bed
3) Opt for milk proteins (milk, whey protein, yogurt, casein, etc.), red meat, or mixed protein
(milk proteins are the preferred types of protein supplements for improving muscle mass and strength)

DAMIAN LILLARD ON ACCOUNTABILITY

“I make sure that I’m on time to the gym. I get there early. I make sure I’m the most coachable. That shows I am accountable for myself, now I can hold other guys accountable.”

~via @Dame_Lillard @Eastbay

[Pratik Patel @PratikxPatel]

If your athletes are cramping regularly then stop loading them ad nauseam with

-Water
-Electrolytes
-Sports drinks

and start looking at

-Carb intake
-Meds (adderall/vyvanse)
-Magnesium
-Fitness levels vs workload
-Sleep
-Stress/HRV/sympathetic stimulation
-Alcohol/drug use

Fatigue is a big reason for cramping (look deeper)

[Brandon Herring @BrandonHerring0]

It’s important to sprint regularly in order to get faster. That’s been stated on here ad nauseam.

But it’s equally important to sprint regularly for hamstring health. Possibly more important?

🤷🏽‍♂️

[Tim Lebbossiere @TimLebbossiere]

No technique drill is ever going to give more benefit than performing your desired skill at a high intensity

If you want to get faster you HAVE to sprint fast

If you want to get stronger you HAVE to lift heavy

If you want to jump higher you HAVE to jump with max effort

Had a coaching colleague run times for 100+ high school football players in the 40 yard dash

Laser, not hand time

Only ONE out of the 100 tested ran below a 4.6

1. If you’re in HS, understand you probably don���t run a 4.4

2. Understand how fast a 4.4 is

[Pat Basil @pbasilstrength]

"Are 110s good for speed?"

No

Field sports athletes hit top speed around 25-30 yards and only maintain it until about 40 yards

After that they begin decelerating

Past 40 yards, you’re not training speed

15-30 yards per rep is the sweet spot for most

[AIC_Strength @AIC_Strength]

Cannot stress this enough!

[Chris Grautski @BodybyGrautski]

Do you want to improve your speed?! GREAT!

Pro tip: For every yard of Max effort work, you need 6 seconds of rest!

Running 10 yard accelerations today? 60 seconds between reps!
Running a 10 yard fly with 20 yard lead in? 3:00 rest between!

#SpeedLovesRest

[Brendan Thompson, PT, DPT @BrendanThompsn]

If you want to get faster —

1) Sprint & Plyo work 2-3x/wk
2) Get a good lift in after sprinting
3) Honor your recovery days between
4) Stop doing more for the sake of doing more
5) Make lifestyle decisions that support your goals

It really is that simple.

He's been AHA Goalie of the Week four times this season, and since four weeks makes a month, it's no surprise that Jarrett Fiske pulled in an AHA Goalie of the Month nod!
