UPSET OF THE YEAR: Elkhorn South denies No. 1 Lincoln Southwest’s three-peat🚨
Ellie Sonderman scored the dream killer to defeat the Silver Hawks 1-0 in the Class A semifinals, handing them their first and final loss of the season.
Leadership doesn’t clock out. The way you speak, act, respond, and carry yourself should always represent the organization you lead. Standards don’t disappear when nobody’s watching. Real leaders understand they are always being evaluated.
NOT TRAINING IN-SEASON IS DESTROYING YOUR PROGRESS!
Here’s why…
I have been training athletes for a decade & I STILL see this critical mistake made. You work hard for a couple months in your “off-season,” & then completely STOP TRAINING 🤦♂️
I’ve heard all the excuses. You don’t have time, you have too many practices. You play on 4 teams (middle school parents actually think this is a good idea). You worry it’ll make you sore or get you hurt (the opposite actually happens).
Frankly, it often still comes down to a misunderstanding of what strength and conditioning is, what it means, why it can’t just be a one off (few weeks per year) thing and how it ties into your long term development, reduction of injuries and more
1. You don’t understand how your body works: gains aren’t something you keep in perpetuity once you achieve them. Speed diminishes FAST (even after a week). Strength after a few weeks. Those vertical jump or sprint PRs you hit before tryouts? Gone pretty instantly if you don’t keep working
2. You think you need to go all out to make gains: you avoid lifting or training because you think you’ll have to train until your eye balls bleed to get better. Wrong. You can pick & choose when to go hard based on your schedule and still get a lot better by doing some sub maximal work
3. You think not lifting will make you do less & keep you fresh: counterproductive thinking. It’s actually what you need to keep general patterns and strength working to combat and armor yourself against overuse injuries in sport. They’re not bulletproof, but they’ll make a lot of overuse bullets bounce off your bulletproof vest (training)
4. You don’t realize this is tanking your next off season: your training is circular. Get a little better, stop, get worse, spend the 2-3 true off season months you have working back to what you lost, barely leaving time to improve further. It’s making your off season training almost irrelevant!

The guys have bought in to the nuances of the event and continue to embrace the workouts.
It’s a pleasure to coach these young men.

Tom Izzo shares an uncomfortable truth about earning your spot.
"You play real good, you start. You don't play as good, you work your way back in."
"That's the American way - except America has gotten soft."
You don't get what you want in life - you get what you earn.
It starts with showing up and earning it every single day.
No shortcuts...Just hard work.
