Very good player but an even better kid! Congrats @ColyerWingfield looking forward to watching you continue to grow as a man and as well as in your faith!
We don’t do mandatory workouts before school as we feel sleep is too important for recovery.
If morning workouts start at 6:00 AM athletes wake up around 5:15 AM, give or take. We want them to have the realistic opportunity to get eight hours of sleep each night. For a 6:00 AM workout this means they would have to be asleep by 9:15 PM. This simply doesn’t happen for many young people.
For those who are disciplined and wired for the morning they can elect to have individual workouts before school and we will have a coach there working with them. In my 12 years as a head college coach I would estimate that 1 in every 5 players I’ve coached was naturally wired for mornings.
We get more done working out in the afternoon/early evening, without compromising on sleep, skipping breakfast, or having tired student-athletes in the classroom throughout the day.
According to the Sleep Foundation, a great number of concerns can arise when athletes do not receive adequate sleep:
*Inhibited ability. In a study of male team-sport athletes who were sleep-deprived, average and total sprint times decreased.
*Decreased accuracy. After sleep deprivation, male and female tennis players had decreased serve accuracy
of up to 53% when compared to performance after normal sleep.
*Quicker exhaustion. In a study of male runners and volleyball players, both groups of athletes exhausted faster after sleep deprivation.
*Decreased reaction time. A lack of sleep adversely affected reaction time in a studied group of male collegiate athletes.
*Difficulty learning and decision making. Executive functions are impacted by a lack of sleep. Choices such as passing the ball or taking it to the basket yourself can be more difficult or made too late.
*Risk for injury. Research of middle and high school athletes revealed that a chronic lack of sleep is associated with increased rates of injury.
*Risk for illness or immunosuppression. Poor sleep habits are associated with lower resistance to illness such as the common cold.
It is deja vu for the Louisburg boys 4x100 as Ashton Moore, Colyer Wingfield, Mason Dobbins and Caden Caplinger broke the school record as they ran a time of 43.06 to beat their old mark of 43.14 to win league. They also beat the league record of 43.17 set by Spring Hill in 2006.
Not to be outdone, the boys 4x100 also made school history today at Wellsville. The team of Ashton Moore, Colyer Wingfield, Mason Dobbins and Caden Caplinger ran a 43.14 to break the old school record of 43.33 set last season. Congrats guys!
