Super proud of these freshmen and sophomore girls being willing to work hard in the weight room. Can’t wait to see them continue to progress and put their gains to work! 🏐🏀🎾📣
Sophomore multi-sport athlete Barrett Collier with a 4.63 40. Barrett began averaging 4.81 over the first 2 weeks of speed training 3 months ago. He’s now averaging 4.67 over the last 2 weeks and has even logged a 4.56.
The anatomy of a speed day for us:
Basic Speed Drills 🏃
Jumps & Bounds 🚀

Timed Sprints ⏱️

The biggest lie in youth sports: “Lifting weights will stunt your kid’s growth.”
Parents still hear this from coaches/doctors in 2026.
Science says the opposite.
Thread on why it’s safe (and smart) for young athletes + exactly what they SHOULD do. 🧵
Congrats to @JoeyEverett99 on making the North All-Star Team for the Murat Shrine North South All-Star Game! Joey is the 5th AC player to make the team in the last 5 years.
Several area players are set to play in this summer's North-South All-Star Classic, with a familiar name at the helm as head coach of the North.

Lifting weights makes your brain look younger.
One year of either heavy- or moderate-intensity strength training reduced older adults' estimated brain age by 1.4-2.3 years on average and enhanced functional connectivity between brain networks.
What I find remarkable is, while the training lasted only one year, the effects on the brain were still noticeable at the two-year follow up.
So many benefits of going to the gym, and not just for your muscles.
Senior ⚾️ player, Jacob Miller, putting up 250 on bench. Very few kids work as hard as Jacob does in the weight room and in his sport. Excited to see him compete this spring!
@CHSCoachSimmons @INFBCoaches Is the session title just a clever way to get a bunch of spread coaches to come to a wing-t talk? Either way, I'll be there!
I took a visit down to @IWUWildcats today and had a couple of great conversations with @Coach_Rode and @drewengels I'm extremely blessed and excited to have been offered an opportunity to be a Wildcat next year! #OneBlood
Congrats to @cameronfravel26@NateGeerken60 and @JoeyEverett99 on being named to the IFCA 2A Senior All-State Team! Their senior class graduates with 1 state championship, 3 semistate championships and 4 regional & sectional championships
