Most youth athletes don’t need more reps of their sport.

They need to learn how to move, improve outputs, and recover.

Sport-specific skill on top of a broken athletic foundation = a ceiling.

Build the athlete first. The sport will thank you later.

MOC-Floyd Valley's Henry Heller was impressive at the recent Preseason ID-Western Iowa.

A top tier two-way in Iowa's class of 2028, Heller's poise and explosiveness on the mound sets him apart.

The lefty is now up to 92.1 MPH in event, a sizable jump from his 89.5 mark from last summer's Super Sophomore Games.

Heller is the no. 4 ranked player in the state, 199th overall.

@pntrack @CoachWinterland Our boys school record in the 100 was from 1974. We had three boys (1 Junior and 2 sophomores) run under that time this year.

ALVARO FOLGUEIRAS.

The BIGGEST shot of his life. The BIGGEST shot of the last 25 years for Iowa basketball.

And Folgueiras points to the sky to honor his late father.

Chills. Madness. Magic.

Simple; not easy.

If I was a really slow athlete…

& wanted to get significantly faster in the next 365 days, here’s what I’d do:

1. Sprint 2-3x per week
2. Heavy loaded 10-12 yard sprints
3. Hill sprints
4. 40-50 yard sprints/“flying,” sprints
5. Vertical jumps
6. Broad jumps
7. Get strong

@HuskerHC @TheIronN Thanks for the shout out. We were definitely chanting DEFENSE.

Reverse hypers aren’t a “maybe” for me, they’re a staple. I do them almost every time I train. And the machine is always open - I have never seen anyone else use it at the gym - a freaking travesty.

Louie Simmons created the reverse hyper because his back was wrecked and he needed a way to decompress the spine while strengthening the posterior chain. It works because it does both at the same time. You’re training glutes, hamstrings, and low back while tractioning the spine every rep. That’s rare.

And yes, I use momentum on purpose. Controlled momentum increases blood flow, pumps nutrients into the low back, and creates that decompressive effect Louie designed it for. This isn’t a slow grind lift. It’s about rhythm, traction, and restoring your back while making it stronger.

If your lower back hurts, feels tight, or limits your training, reverse hypers aren’t optional. They’re insurance. Credit where it’s due, Louie Simmons changed back training forever.

[Pat Basil @pbasilstrength]

A stone cold fact I learned over 10+ years

The athletes that make the most progress are the ones who commit to training hard over the summer and breaks

It's not sets, reps, exercises, or methods

It's consistency and commitment to training

That's the secret

I would rather watch J.J. McCarthy win football games and have a worse draft pick than keep losing for a better pick.

[Scott Dochterman @ScottDochterman]

Iowa beat its three Big Ten annual foes (Nebraska, Wisconsin, Minnesota) by a combined 118-19.

[Ben Stevens @BenScottStevens]

Iowa has now won eight (8) games in EVERY full season since 2015.

That’s 10 straight FULL years of 8+ wins for the Hawkeyes.

Iowa is one (1) of just four (4) FBS programs with 8+ wins in the last 10 FULL yrs:

• Alabama
• Georgia
• Iowa
• Ohio St

Remarkable success.

[Zac Goodman @ZacGoodman_]

I’m not sure who still needs to hear this but…

Low Rep Sets create LESS fatigue and soreness than High Rep sets.

By doing “Light Weight High Reps” in-season, you get weaker and more fatigued athletes.

[Nate Fischer @NateFish42]

@jdfisch6 @nwc_fb @NWIASker That's pretty cool!

[Nate Fischer @NateFish42]

This is genius. Let's speak it into existence. Another layer to this would be if a child doesn't use their 529, or has some left, they can roll it into the house fund.

[Peter B @realpeteyb123]

I came up with an idea.

A “Legacy Loan.”

Parents could buy a home for their kids while they’re young, or build a tax-free housing fund, like a 529 plan but for real estate.

The home transfers when the kid marries or turns 30.

We have 529s for college.
Why not for housing?
