50th anniversary of Title IX — A time to celebrate opportunities for girls in high school sports
NFHS
This week is special as we celebrate one of the most important events in our nation’s history. Certainly, in the 100-plus years of high school sports in the United States, there is perhaps nothing more significant and transformative than the passage of Title IX of the Educational Amendments.
Fifty years ago on June 23, 1972, President Richard Nixon signed the landmark legislation that, while not mentioning high school sports whatsoever, began to pave the way for girls to have the same opportunities to compete in sports as the boys.

PIAA shows progress in Title IX, but female athletic director, coaching numbers still lag
Erie Times-News
Sue Fargo just concluded her 51st season as the coach for Northwestern High School's girls track and field program in Erie County.
Hers has been a lengthy tenure given the seemingly warp speed of present life.
Fargo is even more notable given that the 73-year old officially began her coaching career more than a year before President Richard Nixon signed the Patsy T. Mink Equal Opportunity in Education Act into law on June 23, 1972.

On the field, Masullo yells in a mix of English and Italian. Though born and raised in New Jersey, Masullo is the goalie for the Italian national team. She's trying to direct Italian defenders in a game designed by Native Americans, using language that isn't quite clear to anyone.

Sports Work outside of sports season is important, especially for football
Pleasanton Weekly
High school sports have pretty much become a year-round business these days.
If you want to be successful as a team or as an individual, putting in the work outside of your season of sport is not just encouraged, it is a must.
And this includes the summer. Oh, there is always time for the family vacation, especially with COVID shutting down many family trips over the last few years, but there must be a commitment to your sport of choice.
High schools make the most out of the summer months, but they share the time available not just with family schedules, but with travel teams as well.

Is potato-derived protein as good as milk in building muscle mass?
Medical News Today
A shift favoring more plant-based foods has been steadily gaining momentum worldwide within the medical and athletic communities. However, some individuals continue to express concern regarding using plants as protein sources in sports nutrition products.
Sports nutritionists have long believed that certain compounds in plants may lower the bioavailability of proteins. Further, some research suggests that plants don’t provide all the essential amino acids available from meat-based sources. Researchers at Maastricht University in the Netherlands conducted a study to evaluate how potato proteins foster anabolic reactions that increase muscle mass.

Up to 80% of athletes who die suddenly had no symptoms or family history of heart disease
European Society of Cardiology
Recommendations on how to use gene testing to prevent sudden cardiac death in athletes and enable safe exercise were published in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology, a journal of the European Society of Cardiology.
“Genetic testing for potentially lethal variants is more accessible than ever before and this document focuses on which athletes should be tested and when,” said author Dr. Michael Papadakis of St George's, University of London, UK. “Sportspeople should be counseled on the potential outcomes prior to genetic testing since it could mean exclusion or restricted play.”

Proper hydration and nutrition vital to safe and effective summer workouts, says expert
Virginia Tech
As the summer heat cranks up, hydration and nutrition are critical to keeping up with all the outdoor workouts and activities, says Kristen Chang, an expert in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences at Virginia Tech. It’s important to give the body the calories and nutrients it needs to safely exercise in the summer heat, Chang said. Chang recommends being deliberate about what is consumed before exercise in the summer months to account for increased water loss from sweat. This can include increased fluids and electrolytes, or foods with a higher water content.
