So, you think HS S&C is entry level?

80% of your athletes come after school. You already worked a full schedule of classes, meetings, emails, etc.

It’s 34 and raining outside. Two teams have to get their training in. You can’t just send the kids home or say “wait a half hour”.

Take three minutes to set the plan and roll. Create the scenarios you want to see and have the athletes raise their bar.

HS S&C is extremely far from entry level….

What’s the intent of HS sports? That’s up to the player. Maybe it’s a scholarship; maybe it’s just being part of a team. Regardless of a player’s reason, it’s also about life lessons & maturity. It’s teaching kids how to be productive adults & helping them reach their potential!

Being a Sports Parent is Hard.

Raising an Athlete is Hard.

Parents: As you start this fall sports season, remember...

- What you do matters.
- What you say matters.
- How you parent matters.

As a parent, you impact the culture of the team!

Here are 5 Critical Lessons for Sports Parents:

1. It is Your Child's Experience, Not Yours! Remember that this athletic journey is your child's, not yours. Allow them to own their successes AND failures. Support them without dictating their path.

2. Have a TEAM First Focus - As much as you love your child, remember it is a TEAM sport. It's all about the team, not just your child. Teach them the value of teamwork and collective success. Show them how to sacrifice ME for WE. Celebrate their teammates' Successes!

3. Embrace the Struggle of Team Sports - Accept the struggle of team sports. Embrace the highs and lows. Help your child understand the value of perseverance and resilience. Struggles are part of growth and character development.

4. Navigate, Don't Plow - Be there for support, not to clear all obstacles. Allow them to navigate challenges and learn resilience. Being a snowplow parent denies them the chance to grow.

5. Find JOY in the Journey - Find happiness in the entire sports experience. Celebrate the small victories and lessons learned. The journey’s highs and lows are equally valuable. Teach your child to cherish every moment, win or lose.

Studies show that playing team sports is a greater predictor of success for doctors-in-training than test scores. That’s powerful! Team sports are life lessons: leadership, commitment, respect & dedication just to name a few. Learn them & let them lead you to a successful future!

[Wendi A. Irlbeck MS, RDN, LD, CISSN @Wendi_Irlbeck]

If your 14 YO multi-sport athlete isn’t willing to eat breakfast daily, make his or her own snacks, put their phone down an hour before bed they really don't care about being great.

Seriously, if a 14 YO who has a tablet, spends > 4 hours/day social media, is enrolled in specialized training/multiple sports that you spend thousands of dollars on annually should absolutely be able to structure a routine!

Summer is coming to a close. It's not the time to goof off. Now is the time to dial in your nutrition, sleep, hydration, and habits.

Don’t claim you want to be great, set PRs this fall, and be a starter yet have a work ethic consistent with riding the bench.

Some extra tough love from me this morning.. there’s a lot of hard working athletes out there hungry to get better and will easily outperform those who slept in, stayed up late, skipped breakfast, and cared more about social media than they do playing time.

You reap what you sow. If you want to be a first string starter your habits should reflect that. Control your controllables.

[Jeremy Toohey @Toohey_sp]

The single biggest factor in the success of a strength and conditioning program is consistency. You can’t train your body once every 6-10 days and expect any sort of significant improvements in strength, speed, power, or mitigation of injury risk.

[The Winning Difference @thewinningdiff1]

"Life is not about how much you succeed.
It's about what happens when you fail.
As you go through life, things happen in life that you don't want to happen.
How do you deal with it?
Do you deal with it with class and integrity with courage and resilience?"
