Schools that don’t have the funds for a credentialed strength coach need to find ways to train their coaches who supervise the weight room and fire those that that are unwilling to be educated in the field or are too meat headed to train young athletes safely. Starts with the AD

What happened at the TLCA San Angelo high school football program is a total disaster.

80 student-athletes forced into continuous, whistle-driven push-ups for 45+ minutes with no water, no rest, and no breaks as punishment for a uniform mix-up the staff caused themselves?

Up 20 young athletes hospitalized with rhabdomyolysis, a serious condition involving rapid muscle breakdown that can lead to kidney damage and organ failure.

This should never happen at the high school level! Where was the qualified Strength & Conditioning Coach?

Where was the Certified Athletic Trainer to monitor distress and enforce safety?
Where was the oversight to prevent exercise from being used as reckless punishment?

Treating athletes this way is absolutely dangerous. High school kids are still developing they need proper breaks, recovery between training sessions, and hydration to stay safe. Proper training demands evidence-based protocols, not punishment that risks lives.

Rhabdomyolysis is a preventable red flag of systemic failure, not toughness.
Our young athletes deserve far better. Athlete safety must be non-negotiable.

Coaches have many options when prescribing resistance training. One is eccentric training—the active lengthening of muscle under load. Methods include negatives, flywheel training, tempo work, plyos, etc. Like any method, it must fit the athlete’s overall plan.

[NoLimitPerformance&Fitness @NoLimitPerform1]

Hamstring strains - most common non-contact injuries in football, soccer, baseball, and track. One effective exercise for reducing risk? Nordic hamstring curl. They build eccentric strength—critical during high-speed sprinting. Stronger hamstrings = more resilience + availability

[NoLimitPerformance&Fitness @NoLimitPerform1]

Prepubescent athletes? Focus on movement competency—squat, hinge, push, pull, skip, hop, land, and control the body well.

Build the foundation early so advanced strength and reactivity can be layered in safely later.

Long-term development > short-term gains.

[NoLimitPerformance&Fitness @NoLimitPerform1]

Post-PHV is a prime window to develop the stretch-shortening cycle (SSC)—a key driver of speed, jumping, and change of direction

Strength builds the engine. Plyos improve the transmission.

[NoLimitPerformance&Fitness @NoLimitPerform1]

Intensity (load) drives adaptation. Not every day should be heavy.
Heavy loads → build force.
Lighter, fast loads → develop power.
Game day lifts → prime, don’t fatigue.
Recovery days → restore, don’t break down.
Load must match the goal, season, athlete. Train with purpose.

[NoLimitPerformance&Fitness @NoLimitPerform1]

Hamstrings are a key driver of speed.
They play a major role in force production + force transfer —both essential for sprint performance.

Want to move faster?
✅ Strong hamstrings
✅ High lower body power
✅ Improved acceleration
Train power. Improve speed. Reduce injury risk

Powerlifting is one of the fastest-growing sports, centered on building max strength through the squat, bench press, and deadlift. Max strength is the foundation for improved speed, power, and athletic performance. If this is an activity that may interest you, No Limit can help!

[NoLimitPerformance&Fitness @NoLimitPerform1]

Sleep isn’t just “rest.” It’s when adaptation happens. It’s when the body recovers. It’s when the brain learns.
If you want faster athletes, stronger athletes, healthier athletes, and better students— start with sleep.

Sleep: The Most Underrated Performance Enhancer

Most student-athletes do not get enough sleep—and it shows up everywhere:
⬇️ Performance
⬆️ Injury risk
⬇️ Health and recovery
⬇️ Academic performance

Train hard.
Recover harder.

🎧 Turn It Up: The Power of Self-Selected Music in Training
Research consistently shows that self-selected music (i.e., music the athlete actually likes) can lead to improved performance in training.
👉Bottom line: Let them choose the music. Their performance may depend on it

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Looking forward to new and exciting programming in 2026!

Grateful to be the NHSSCA-WI State Director and work with outstanding coaches in putting together such an awesome event. Thanks to all those involved - NHSSCA, state advisory board, sponsors, Muskego HS, and coaches from multiple states. Lots of growth and connection. WI Strong!

[NoLimitPerformance&Fitness @NoLimitPerform1]

This facility is one of the best in Wisconsin at any level. Coach Mlachnik does a great job with the athletes and NHSSCA is sure to put on another great clinic. If you work with high school athletes, you need to be there for them!

[NHSSCA-WI @NHSSCA_WI]

February 22nd - SAVE THE DATE! NHSCSCA-WI 2025 State Clinic will take place at Muskego HS. If you are a HS strength coach, sport coach, or AD responsible for your athlete's training, don't miss this. An outstanding lineup at one of the best facilities in WI. More info to soon!

[NoLimitPerformance&Fitness @NoLimitPerform1]

Growing through constant learning is essential for success. In training, ask why you are doing what you are doing? Ask what you can do to supplement your training? Learn ways to overcome barriers? Develop goals and a plan to attain them. Your coach can help in each of these.

[NoLimitPerformance&Fitness @NoLimitPerform1]

S & C is a must for all athletes. Development of athleticism, self-esteem, confidence, impact on mental health..... The importance of training in a quality program under the direction of a qualified coach cannot be understated. It should be the foundation of any athletic program.

[NoLimitPerformance&Fitness @NoLimitPerform1]

How many students training on their own this summer will follow well-designed programs or work with a qualified strength coach. Find a qualified strength coach that will help you become the best athlete and max your potential.  Biceps might look good, but they won't help you win!

[NoLimitPerformance&Fitness @NoLimitPerform1]

Thanks Steve Berghs @SummitFitnessWI for inviting us to see some of the newest equipment from @Matrixfitnessus. Awesome stuff and great to talk shop with Steve and our colleagues at St. Thomas More - Coach Litscher and Coach Fricke. Always look to get better!
