.COACHES CORNER
Practice Planning
By Scot Davis
There are numerous ways to structure a practice and different coaches bring new ideas to those plans. I’d like to share with you a sample plan of such a structure I have used in my sport of Wrestling and I believe that it can be structured and utilized in other sports well.
Over the course of time my ideas regarding practice structure have developed based on several factors.

'It looked like our season was over.' Lee County football teams welcome a second chance
Fort Myers News-Press
Two weeks to the day after Hurricane Ian forever changed Southwest Florida, Chuck Faucette stood before 31 members of the Ida Baker High School football team.
At their core, the best high school football coaches are skilled salesmen, repeatedly pitching to mercurial teenage clients the promise of athletic glory in exchange for unwavering allegiance to the team.
On this day, however, with their home stadium across the street shredded and in shambles, a simple message would suffice.

Washington high school football team threatens one-year ban for parents who confront coach
ScorebookLive
Some parents can’t help but offer their two cents to coaches, whether it be on the topic of their kid’s playing time or an in-game decision they disagreed with.
Parents of the Black Hills (Washington) football team will want to think twice before challenging the coach, however.
The team issued a statement Wednesday saying any parent who confronts head coach Garrett Baldwin within 24 hours of games will receive a 12 month ban from future games.

This Massachusetts high school football coach faced so much harassment, he quit
WCVB-TV
While high school football games can get heated, one Massachusetts coach said he was facing constant harassment and that it was too much.
"I was on the verge of tears on the sideline as it was happening," Kahn Chace said. Thursday's game was the last straw for the Cardinal Spellman football coach.
"The game ended and as I was talking, addressing our team, you know, 20, 30 yards away behind a fence is a group of parents yelling at us and trying to embarrass us," Chace said.

Soccer players need to hit the brakes
STACK
Every athlete is familiar with the term acceleration. The formal definition of acceleration is the rate of change in velocity over time. We all think of acceleration as how quickly a person or object can get to a top speed. However, given the formal definition, slowing down is considered acceleration too.

Football coach watches 500th win from fence after being ejected
Yardbarker
Notching one's 500th win as a coach is something to be celebrated and remembered. But celebrating such a milestone was a bit difficult for high school football coach Bob Hyland, who was ejected from a game over the weekend as his team went on to solidify the milestone for him.
Hyland, long-time coach at St. Mary's Springs in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, got the boot in the third quarter of Saturday's milestone game. According to local publication The Post-Crescent, Hyland took issue with officials calling a long timeout to discuss a holding penalty. That's when the officiating team slapped him with two penalties and booted him from the game.

Limiting contact in practice may be one of the best ways to reduce head injuries in youth football, study finds
CNN
Mark Jonas, a member of the Wisconsin Football Coaches Association Hall of Fame, knows what it takes to make kids into champions on the football field. He just took over the team at the Southern Door High School in rural Wisconsin and changed practice this summer to try to keep his players healthy.
Last year, the players did full-on tackling and blocking in practice, and some got head injuries, he said.
This year, Jonas has them doing form tackling, no-contact drills that teach tackling technique. When they block, they push against a sled rather than each other.

Hackbarth enjoying new experience on Logan sideline
La Crosse Tribune
Joe Hackbarth sometimes questions the involvement he is allowed as an assistant coach for the Logan High School football team.
Casey Knoble, the Rangers’ head coach, does not.
Hackbarth is relatively new to the sport. He didn’t play it growing up and has cut his coaching teeth mostly in track and field and cross country.
“I’ve watched a lot of football on TV,” Hackbarth said with a smile.

Alcohol misuse in adolescence indirectly tied to decreased life satisfaction later in life
Lab Manager
For more than a decade, researchers from Rutgers University and Virginia Commonwealth University followed the lives of 2,733 pairs of twins from Finland. The researchers were looking to grasp the long-terms effects of alcohol misuse in adolescent years. While there was little evidence of direct causal links between alcohol misuse and later health issues, both mental and physical, the study demonstrated that midlife dissatisfaction and health issues had considerable indirect links to problematic alcohol consumption in adolescence.

How much protein do you need to build muscle?
Medical News Today
Protein is found in every cell and tissue in the body. While it has many vital roles in the body, protein is crucial for muscle growth because it helps repair and maintain muscle tissue.
The current recommended dietary allowance (RDA) to prevent deficiency in minimally active adults is 0.8 grams (g) of protein per kilogram (kg) of body weight. However, newer research suggests individuals trying to build muscle need more than this.

Another pandemic side effect: A rise in middle school bullying, drama
The Seattle Times
Students lost more than academic skills to the pandemic; they also lost social skills needed to navigate positive relationships with peers. Parents and educators report kids are lagging a year or more in their social development, and it's manifesting in friction with classmates, a lack of self-regulation and less empathy.

How does what we eat affect our healthspan and longevity? It's a complex dynamic system
Columbia University
The answer to a relatively concise question – how does what we eat affect how we age -- is unavoidably complex, according to a new study at the Butler Columbia Aging Center at Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health. While most analyses had been concerned with the effects of a single nutrient on a single outcome, a conventional, unidimensional approach to understanding the effects of diet on health and aging no longer provides us with the full picture: healthy diet needs to be considered based on the balance of ensembles of nutrients, rather than by optimizing a series of nutrients one at a time.
