MORE THAN SCORING
“The amount of points you score doesn’t determine whether you are playing good or bad. Your point total is never an indicator of how you play. It’s how hard you work and how good of a teammate you are.” (Caitlin Clark)

Attn PE Teachers 🚨
Try this -
On the last week of school send 4 kids every 5 minutes to their favorite English or Math teacher and have them say "Can I hang out here, my PE teacher said it was ok since we're not doing anything".
Good times 🤣🤣
What a great day of softball! Fantastic pitching, catching, offense, & defense.
In the last game of the day, Kylie Woster had an in-the-park Grand Slam to take a 4-2 lead. Later, with a 6-5 lead, Avery Cooley completed her 2nd unassisted double play to secure the win.
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.
@MPattersonOWH@ronpowell10s Mike - thanks for everything you have done for area sports. I have truly enjoyed your friendship and of course the banter that goes back and forth when I have to submit things. You will be missed deeply but I’m extremely happy for you and wishing you the best in retirement.
The girls finished Runners-Up, of the High School Division Top Bracket, in the Mayhem Softball Tournament!
In the Semi-Finals, with Lily behind the plate, and a fantastic defense behind her, Brooklyn pitched a PERFECT game!
