It's a volleyball state, and these coaches are a big reason why
NebPreps
Sharon Zavala didn’t envision herself coaching volleyball at the time of her arrival at Grand Island Central Catholic. The sport’s seeds were still sprouting in Nebraska, and Zavala was hired to start the school’s girls basketball program anyway. When the head volleyball coach at the time told Zavala that she should be the volleyball coach instead, Zavala gave it a shot. It was a starting point though. Forty-eight seasons and a whopping 1,148 career wins later, Zavala is one of the more decorated and accomplished coaches in the state.

When it comes to education, coaches can help fill the gaps and increase positive outcomes for student athletes
The Seattle Medium
When it comes to coaching high school athletics, most coaches at inner-city schools will tell you that their roles go far beyond just X’s and O’s. Pending the environment, coaches must make themselves available to our society’s most impressionable demographics, our children and in some cases, even on the professional level, athletes will continue to rely on the mentorship coaches can provide.
While there are those who think that we as a society place far more emphasis on athletics than we do academics, the reality is that athletics may be the one thing that can keep a young person engaged with the structured environment of an education system and save them from the pitfalls of the streets.

Teammates, coaches mourn slain Silverado High School student-athlete
Victorville Daily Press
In what was supposed to be a fun week of preparations for the first round of the CIF-Southern Section playoffs, the Silverado football team is mourning the death of Richard Reed.
Fredrick Hunter never imagined that Oct. 28 would be the last time he stepped foot on the gridiron alongside Reed. Hunter never thought he would have to prepare for the first round of the playoffs without his beloved teammate at his side.
Reed, a linebacker and running back at Silverado, was found dead late Sunday night in Victorville after San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department deputies responded to the area of La Mesa and Jade roads. He was 17.

Ranking the top basketball coaching jobs in the Public League
Chicago Sun-Times
Public League basketball is unique. There is a reverence for the sport in the city that is unlike maybe any other major metropolitan area in the country.
The history and roots are so deep. The gyms across the city are distinctive. The players produced are a who’s who in basketball. The personalities are legendary. The South Side vs. West Side debate over many decades.
Many of the schools, resources and neighborhoods have changed so dramatically over the years, that the basketball programs have often risen or fallen with those transformations.

Eastern High School brings back wrestling after 20 year hiatus
WAVE-TV
Wrestling is a sport that back in the day Eastern was a powerhouse. “We always had at least one or two state champions almost every year,” said former assistant and head coach Shaun Davis. But once head coach, Phil Coomes retired and Davis took over the football team, the wrestling team went away, but now...it’s back. “Eastern’s like a melting pot, so some kids that have moved in from different states, different schools always asked, hey, do you guys have a wrestling program?” said Davis.

STACK
A powerful explosive vertical leap and dynamic agility are mandatory for basketball. All basketball sport-specific movements require it.

You need to put in the effort to improve your force production, technique, coordination, and timing. In addition, there are specific jumping exercises that you need to do to boost your vertical, that basketball practice will not.

Is swimming aerobic or anaerobic exercise?
Live Science
If hitting the pool is your favorite way of getting in a daily workout, you may have found yourself asking the question “is swimming aerobic or anaerobic exercise?”
While swimming is generally viewed as a gentle form of aerobic exercise, it is possible to challenge yourself to make time in the pool more anaerobic. A great low impact activity, with the right adjustments swimming can raise the heart rate and engage fast twitch muscles associated with harder workouts.

What you can learn from major league baseball clubhouse food
STACK
While MLB might have been the first major sport to embrace analytics, the traditional clubhouse spread of things like hot dogs, nachos, pizza, and chicken has remained. But just as data output has modernized baseball’s scouting and evaluation process, each team now has a dietitian to keep an eye on the team’s food input. And according to a recent article in The New York Times, junk food is out. Food for recovery and refueling is in.

You're eating healthier these days, but is it as healthy as you think?
HealthDay News
People trying to adopt a healthier diet probably aren't the best judges of how well they're actually eating, a new study discovers.
Only about 1 in 4 people could accurately estimate how healthy they were eating when asked to assess their diet after a year spent trying to lose weight, researchers found.
Worse, only 1 in 10 people understood how their diet had actually changed during that year, with most assuming they'd made much greater strides than they actually had.
