To be a fast sprinter, athletes need to be strong relative to their body weight, produce force quickly, and be strong & stiff down their whole leg to transfer that force into the ground. https://t.co/vF9QpFsfwz via @SimpliFaster

First soccer open was a success!

Also did some data collection for our athlete training program. Vertical, standing LJ and MPH. Had players from soccer, track, basketball, volleyball, baseball, tennis, and swim all present. Excited to get this summer in full swing.

Off season is a time to improve speed and strength. Back to week #1 of 6-wk sprint program. After warm up 5 sets of 20-yards then go home. 20-min and speed is gained! Playing travel sports can’t do this!

Super exciting week. We have youth soccer camp, GHAA soccer camp, high school soccer opens, track opens and our athlete training program all starting this week. Busy busy but it should be a fun summer!

Simons birthday party was a success. Got to see these two guys outside of track which was a treat! Thanks Jim Kasap for letting us borrow the pizza truck. @weyenethk @cshooprun

10 years ago my little buddy was born. Crazy… last year on his birthday the ladies won a sectional title and he was convinced the plaque was his birthday present. This year we going fishing, out to lunch, bowling, then a pizza truck this weekend!

Best things that has come from my son playing youth sport in order…

1. The friendships he has made
2. He is out doing something more than just being on a tablet.
3. He’s learning to win AND lose and how to@act@when either happens.
4. He’s getting better at the sport.

When I went to state in HS I was so nervous. Seeing Jonesy made me feel at ease. Even now coaching it is so great to see him at the state meet!

[Kurt Pegler @KurtPegler]

Some athletes will make it to the state track meet for the first time this weekend. But Metamora's Gene Jones has been there for nearly 30 years with a job that keeps him young.

Our coaching staff had the pleasure of having @AleciaM27 put on a ankle wrapping clinic. I need practice. Coach Weyeneth and coach Shoop had a lot more success.
