Just got off a great call with @StoutChevy from @cunebulldogs talking different strength and conditioning training ideas with teams.
Always fun talking with small school coaches to find new or different ways of attacking the same goal. 💪🏼
The #2 team has just lost by 12 at home to an unranked @cunebulldogs team - and the Bulldogs were more than up to the challenge in the second half. Wow.
Just saw a high school kid who claims a 40 time of 4.40 and a top speed of 21 mph.
Can’t say it loud enough, you can’t run 4.40 without running a max velocity of 23 mph.
The largest pulse of growth hormone (GH) by our pituitary gland is between 10pm and 2am

Someone approached me at the gym yesterday to check their sprint form.
The majority of her sprint training is completed on the curve treadmill.
This video shows why I’m not a fan of the curve treadmill for sprint training.
So, I spoke to people getting food at a food bank and here are some things I learned from those in need:
1. Everyone donates Kraft Mac and Cheese in the box. They can rarely use it because it needs milk and butter which is hard to get from regular food banks.
2. Boxed milk is a treasure, as kids need it for cereal which they also get a lot of.
3. Everyone donates pasta sauce and spaghetti noodles.
4. They cannot eat all the awesome canned veggies and soup unless you put a can opener in too or buy pop tops.
5. Oil is a luxury but needed for Rice a-Roni which they also get a lot of.
6. Spices or salt and pepper would be a real Christmas gift.
7. Tea bags and coffee make them feel like you care.
8. Sugar and flour are treats.
9. They fawn over fresh produce donated by farmers and grocery stores.
10. Seeds are cool in Spring and Summer because growing can be easy for some.
11. They rarely get fresh meat.
12. Tuna and crackers make a good lunch.
13. Hamburger Helper goes nowhere without ground beef.
14. They get lots of peanut butter and jelly but usually not sandwich bread.
15. Butter or margarine is nice too.
16. Eggs are a real commodity.
17. Cake mix and frosting makes it possible to make a child’s birthday cake.
18. Dishwashing detergent is very expensive and is always appreciated.
19. Feminine hygiene products are a luxury and women will cry over that.
20. Everyone loves Stove Top Stuffing.
In all the years I have donated food at the Holidays, I bought what I thought they wanted, but have never asked. I am glad I did. If you are helping a Family this Christmas, maybe this can help you tailor it more. It does for me!
Sprinting for hamstring resilience —
If regularly ending up with hamstring tweaks and pulls during practices and competitions, there’s a chance it’s due to lack of task readiness.
Try to hit >95% max velocity a handful of times each week to reduce risk of injury.
Practice has never been more efficient with the ability to add, delete, and rename channels. Manage practice with ease! Just pop in your AirPods or earbuds and go! Visit https://t.co/nhfbMJRUWK
Athletes finishing a workout in less time is not a bad thing
This means their work capacity has increased and they’re adapting to the training load, volume, and density of the workouts
That and they know what to do now so they can just go
All good things
