A method we use to add variety to speed work are called rabbit and coyote races. The rabbit must react to the coyote in the back. Team sports requires reacting to visual stimuli so it’s never a bad thing to use the eyes to train the body. Creates a fun competitive environment.
Wrapped up a super fun and productive Summer S&C Camp @epsd9 @OfficialEPHS with obstacle course, tug a war and slip n slide! Champions crowned with a No-Smiling contest. Special moment after as incoming freshman picked up trash on the turf. You know who you are...
@hollymolly218 Just trying to live what I hopefully influence my players and student s to do: Be happy and healthy while trying to create peak experiences with my fam.
Middle Schoolers mastering our “Gorilla Position”, our universal athletic position that transcends to all sports. Foundational for injury-prevention mechanics as well as our squat and hinge movement patterns. Progress young athletes slowly by doing simple things better!
You know the culture is changing when 110 @epsd9 student-athletes and their families make it a priority to show up on day 1 of summer S&C to make themselves better people and better athletes. Special S/O to our 10 sport coaches who are @NHSSCA strength coaches in the making.
What a weekend at the @NHSSCA NatCon in Nashville. First class operation with awesome presenters. The contacts I made and the quality of people in this association made this the best clinic I have attended in 15 years. @McHenryStrength@SCcoachEvans @Coach_Bass33

Great study by Texas A&M, showing Extracurricular Activities lead to academic success. So without coaches/teachers and athletic programs,Band,Academic teams, FFA, etc.kids might not be as successful 🤔
Also, how many would stay in school without these programs?
