@nhssca_us Coaches,
If your schedule permits stop and visit Randy Meyer in the Matrix booth.
The Matrix equipment is excellent and their service is better.

If you want sport specific then practice the sport. Weight room gives you the physical tools for success, it's not sport specific.

@bmarcello13 Poor Leadership doesn't know what they don't know; GREAT leadership does. Hiring those with little experience, seeing them not measuring up and releasing them only cures the symptoms not the problem. The problem- bad hire.

Football is a game of speed, strength and skill. What you eat, what you drink, and how you care for your body will directly influence how you train and perform.

Your body will respond BETTER with:
-Lean protein over fried fatty proteins.
-Water and plenty of minerals over soda and sugary drinks.
-Avoid alcohol/tobacco/smoking/vaping and staying out too late in bad situations with negative influences.
-Consistently eating fruits, veggies, healthy fats and balanced meals.
-Quality rest, recovery, positive attitude, and healthy environment with people who support you!
-Quality carbohydrates from whole-grains, potatoes, and oats instead of chips, white pasta, and candy.
-A solid 7-9 hours of sleep. Athletes need 9-11 hours and summer is a great time to dial in your sleep.

If you truly want to play at the next level, land a scholarship, or in the NFL you're going to need to do things differently.

If you can't be bothered or inconvenienced to change your nutrition, sleep, hydration, and recovery don't be surprised when the league doesn't call you.

[Wendi A. Irlbeck MS, RDN, LD, CISSN @Wendi_Irlbeck]

Eat foods that fuel your mind and muscles! Here’s a grocery list for athletes starting summer training tomorrow!

It’s Sunday and you have plenty of time to get to the grocery store, cook, and plan ahead for the week‼️

Remember, champions are built in the off-season with proper nutrition, sleep, hydration, recovery, and consistency in training!

[Jon Beck @CoachJonBeck]

2 types of coaches:

Those who:
Coddle
Tell you what you want to hear
Don’t hold you accountable
Don't believe in you
Let you go through the motions

Those who:
Tell you the truth
Encourage
Challenge
Hold you accountable
Inspire
Demand excellence

ONLY 1 gets you ready for LIFE!

@Metten22 @TweetsbyCoachP Does anybody have a bingo card for U10 baseball?

The results of female national elite athletes even indicate that the strength level attainable by extremely high training will rarely surpass the 50th percentile of untrained or not specifically trained men. https://t.co/zPaxtg0M8P
