Yearly reminder 😎

[Steve Magness @stevemagness]

For HS team sport athletes, run track.

Why? Anyone can get big.

Speed is what separates playmakers on the field.

Colleges often look for speed over strength/size.

Why? They know they can always add strength.

What is much more difficult, especially as we age, adding speed.

Multiple sports helps prevent overuse injuries, trains different muscles and keeps you competing!

Sleep is the best performance enhancer this is.

Yet, many of us neglect or lack the recommended dose.

We all know we need to sleep more. Instead of telling you that, let's look at the science of sleep and how to get better at it:

Many HS athletes will never college play sports! Our main goal as a coach is to develop young people and instill good morals and values in their lives!

"My hardware from ‘21 is still in the boxes. I haven’t even opened my ring. I don’t care about it as much. That’s not why I do it. I do it for the people. I do it for the connections. I do it for my family & friends because they’ve been there since Day 1.

Today is a great day to replace HAVE TO with GET TO. Live life as a gift, not an obligation.

NCAA 100m Champion when asked about running the 4x4: “Anything for my team at this point.” #Culture

[Katie DiPietro Rees @CoachKatieRees]

Abby Steiner is further proof of what every coach already knows: that every high-level short sprinter can (and SHOULD) be an invaluable member of that team's 4x4.

Short sprinters who think you can't run that 400: your mindset is your only limitation!

[Jordan Hein @MrJordanHein]

88.9% of 2022 NFL Draft picks were multi-sport athletes in high school

68.7% participated in Track & Field

43.1% were 3+ sport athletes in high school

11% only played football.

Be the type of athlete that sharpens skill across multiple domains. Compete everywhere & always.
