Our #1 priority as coaches is to keep athletes healthy and performing at their best. Injury rates are continuing to trend upward and season ending injuries are becoming far too common. Effective warm ups and activation are crucial @GDTSports @MEHornets @FishermenGhs @RHS_Vikings

“We are asking student athletes to perform at a very high level after sitting for 8-10 hours.” A clip from my “Effective Warm Ups” seminar on why student athletes need to properly warm up and wake up their bodies before practice and games.
