The Waynedale community mourns the loss of Harold Oswald. For as long as most people can remember Harold was in the bleachers, and behind the scenes supporting our student-athletes. His presence and positivity will be greatly missed by our coaching staff and players. Our thoughts and prayers are with Mellanie and the the rest of the family 🤎💛🤍

In the picture below, Harold is in the lawn chair in the front row. We were absolutely honored to have Harold at the groundbreaking for the new field. He was always so proud to be a Waynedale Golden Bear 🐻

Paul Skenes is such a great example for young athletes
To what goes into preparing the body to perform at a high level…
This is everything he does to prepare his upper & lower body before EVERY bullpen
Have a routine, execute it, thrive.
I first heard this 30 years ago at age 17, when my trainer Jay Schroeder DRILLED it into my soul. I still remember the day we met. He told me, “I don’t want you to squat 450 pounds in 3 seconds… I want you to squat 350 pounds in ½ second. THAT’S power.”
To train with him, he forced me to write a daily training log that timed the concentric portion of EVERY rep, EVERY set, EVERY exercise with a stopwatch. I did this for 6 straight months before he allowed me to train at his gym.
It took over an hour daily to write the log, but what I learned about my body and performance was invaluable. Training with this intent changes everything: to move max weights at high speed, EVERYTHING matters. Technique and position must be flawless, no power leaks. You learn to eccentrically LOAD, not just drop with gravity and momentum. My body awareness skyrocketed.
Speed is king. Details and intention matter. I stopped caring about increasing my max and started caring about moving my max FASTER. It’s the primary reason I transformed myself from a walk-on who ran 4.8 to a first-round pick who ran 4.3.
A well-earned recognition for the @KentStBaseball product!
