Recess and play are SEL. They help decrease aggressive and off task behavior as well as decease anxiety and depression . They increase self regulation of emotions and improve academic performance! Let them play!

[Scott Battas, CMAA @coachb83]

Our kids lift weights in-season. Period. It’s the expectation. And yes, even on game days. And if you don’t like that or agree with it, this just isn’t the place for you to coach or be a part of our athletic programs. It’s not punishment. It’s research based development.

[Gerry DeFilippo @Challenger_ST]

Young baseball players playing in show cases & throwing a LOT non-stop year round is the biggest thing threatening their long term health…

Not strength training

[Gerry DeFilippo @Challenger_ST]

Every strength coach has been here before 🤬😡

[Derek Ash @CoachAsh_CSHS]

Running out of weight and space. 2nd session of the afternoon with 40+ Over 150 through the day! @cedar_athletics

Grateful to announce my official offer from Michigan Tech University!!! Thank you @DanMettlach for the great visit and great day spend up in Houghton !!🏈

[Derek Ash @CoachAsh_CSHS]

Happens far too often

[𝐁𝐫𝐚𝐝 𝐉𝐨𝐡𝐧𝐬𝐨𝐧 @DrBradJohnson]

Districts or schools that remove students from physical education, music, Arts, or other classes to remediate them in other areas, have no idea of the immediate and long term damage they are doing to these students. These may be classes that help them love school.

[Zach Even - Esh @ZEvenEsh]

Parents - if your son / daughter is competing in contact sports, you must CONSISTENTLY keep them in a year round Strength & Conditioning program.

Training w/ their friends at a local gym is not the proper sports performance preparation they need.

[Derek Ash @CoachAsh_CSHS]

Just the beginning‼️ Could not be a more deserving kid. So proud. #jobsneverfinished

[Josh Kriekaard #83 @JoshKriekaard]
