@CoachRock73@JustinGoffBurch Until there's a better way to filter out potentially unqualified candidates, the CSCS will remain the standard. Too much history behind it for administrators to not recognize the value of a candidate having it. Checks too many boxes to ignore, mainly from a liability standpoint.
Girls. Training. And ACL Tears.
Girls don't need a 3 day ACL program or a 5 minute ACL Warm up. Girls don't need a 6-8 wk bootcamp.
It is not a one off thing you do in a 3 day clinic or a 10 minute warm up. It's not a bootcamp right before the season just to not continue with training while in-season.
Girls need sound, progressive and comprehensive S&C 2-3x wk for at least 40 wks during the year during their off and in-season competition periods. Quad Strength. Glute strength. Landing mechanics. Deceleration. Pivoting/Twisting. Taking contact. Conditioning. Agility. Isometrics. Power work. Etc..
Cannot be neglected for weeks or MONTHS on end.
It is total negligence to go months without a weight room session or even a break in a kids schedule to make time for training.
It's a year round plan of attack to do the best we can to mitigate risk.
Girls sports and those involved need to do better and what is in our power/control.
The PWC Senior Showcase is HERE!
Can’t wait to see all the talent from across the area compete and show out under the lights. This is going to be a special night.
College coaches, make sure you’re in the building. You won’t want to miss this group of athletes. 👀🔥
@AaronRozek The recent promising research on its role in maybe combating Alzheimer's is enough for me to never stop taking it. Plus the concussion and cognition research.
@Justinvhill82@AaronRozek I have kidney disease and my nephrologist says it's ok for me to take it. It will throw off your urinalysis creatinine numbers, though.
Heavy front squats and RDL’s will do more for your core, posture, and mental toughness than most traditional methods of training these things could ever hope for.
I wish more people gave it a shot.
The biggest competitive advantage at the high school level right now is nutrition.
Big time programs are investing through boosters or grants to feed their athletes throughout the day.
I think people would be shocked how many kids don’t eat breakfast, and not always by choice
@Challenger_ST 'get strong' way too low on this list. Especially if we're talking about younger athletes. Everyone can get stronger to help them perform in various ways, not everyone can become 'fast enough' to play whatever sport / event / position they 'think' they are capable of.
@coachcris_@StrengthDebates I think he was referring to what specific things should they do while lifting weights. They should lift like a 12 year old with a very low training age and then supplement that lifting with the stuff you are suggesting.
@ColganFootball is looking to hire an assistant on the defensive side of the ball preferably. Looking for someone to coach the Defensive Line. DM if interested.

@georgewrighster Teachers must give hand written tests, make kids do hand written work during class, make kids give presentations in front of the class, etc.
@CoachRC23 I worked a D1 camp one summer and during testing we were told to knock .2 seconds off of every kid's handheld time. Why? Because they heard another D1 camp was doing the same thing and didn't want to be school to give a kid a slower time.
