Football coach goes viral for surprising reaction to player quitting
New York Post
A California football coach has gone viral, acquiring 1.5 million views on Twitter, for his positive reaction in response to one of his players quitting the team.
Kurt Hines, a fifth-year coach at Coronado High School, said in a Sept. 15 tweet that an unnamed player — who had season-long difficulties attending practice, making a commitment and looking happy — entered Hines’ office to inform his coach of the decision to quit. He’d cleaned his equipment, tucked it into a green Coronado duffle bag and set it on a chair underneath a Vince Lombardi poster, with the message “The measure of who we are is what we do with what we have” typed across the page.

Accountability at center of Amador coach's decision to cancel freshman football game
Pleasanton Weekly
There are as many life lessons to be gained playing high school sports as anywhere.
Perhaps the most important one is also the one missing the most -- accountability. Amador Valley football coach Danny Jones saw this missing from some members of the freshman football team in his Dons program. Instead of waiting for the school to react, Jones acted quickly and decisively, suspending the team for a week of practices and canceling their game that was scheduled for Sept. 16.

Michigan high school football coaches weigh in on whether or not state playoffs should allow all teams
MLive
Last football season, the Michigan High School Athletic Association allowed every single football team a chance to participate in the state playoffs. It was the first time that had ever happened, and it ended up being a popular aspect among coaches during what was an otherwise nightmarish season filled with numerous COVID-19 delays, quarantines and cancelations.
The all-inclusive playoff format was so well received by coaches and athletic directors last year that it just might come back permanently.

'Remember his smile:' Woodbridge High School honors coach Fred Moore
Inside NOVA
When Jimmy Longerbeam interviewed Fred Moore in May for a spot on Woodbridge’s coaching staff, the two never talked football. There was no reason to. Longerbeam recognized right away that Moore’s value transcended X’s and O’s. Moore’s personality stood out to Longerbeam, especially the way Moore related to kids.
Moore, 33, collapsed on the field between the hash mark and the Woodbridge sideline at the 35-yard line during the third quarter of the Vikings’ home game Sept. 17 against Massaponax. He was taken to Sentara Northern Virginia Medical Center, where he died.

Strength training can burn fat too, myth-busting study finds
University of New South Wales
It’s basic exercise knowledge that to gain muscles, you strength train, and to lose fat, you do cardio – right?
Not necessarily, a new UNSW study published in Sports Medicine suggests.
In fact, the study – a systematic review and meta-analysis that reviewed and analyzed existing evidence – shows we can lose around 1.4 percent of our entire body fat through strength training alone, which is similar to how much we might lose through cardio or aerobics.

Convincing your child to leave the screens behind to exercise is hard. Here's how to do it
CNN
"3, 2, 1, ready or not, here I come!"
Children race through the park, soaking in the sun while they search for their next hiding spot in the latest round of hide-and-seek. When that playtime can happen, it's often the best part of a child's day.
That all counts as exercise for kids. And while it comes naturally to some children, many others would prefer to spend hours scrolling through YouTube videos or binge-watching the latest television show.

Researchers call for a focus on fitness over weight loss for obesity-related health conditions
Cell Press via ScienceDaily
The prevalence of obesity around the world has tripled over the past 40 years, and, along with that rise, dieting and attempts to lose weight also have soared. But according to a new article, when it comes to getting healthy and reducing mortality risk, increasing physical activity and improving fitness appear to be superior to weight loss. The authors say that employing a weight-neutral approach to the treatment of obesity-related health conditions also reduces the health risks associated with yo-yo dieting.
