As college golf recruiting evolves, camps take on added value — even for elites
Golf Channel
Before Pepperdine senior Derek Hitchner developed into one of the top players in the country, he was discovered, at least by Waves head coach Michael Beard, at a golf camp.
Back in 2015, Hitchner, then a rising high-school sophomore, attended the Kerry Cup, an annual week-long camp for prep-aged golfers in Waterville, Ireland. Beard was among the college coaches on site that year.

Friday night red lights: How bus driver shortages disrupt high school football
The Deseret News
Something was missing when the Nacogdoches High School football team took on Mt. Pleasant in mid-October in Texas. The Dragons had their players, coaches and fans, but there was no music coming from the stands.
“The atmosphere is really not the same without the band and drill team there, playing and making noise for the team,” said Adrian Belista, a junior at Nacogdoches High and drum major for the band, to The Texas Tribune.
Belista and her bandmates had been left behind in Nacogdoches due to a problem that’s plaguing schools across the country: There aren’t enough bus drivers to get school kids where they need to go.

Overcoming challenges through alternative student learning opportunities
NFHS
In today’s world of education-based athletics, staffing shortages, supply chain delays and budget cuts are familiar challenges facing nearly every athletic administrator. Coaching vacancies are drawing fewer – if any – applicants; buildings and grounds staffing positions remain unfilled; and the turnover rate of athletic administrators is at an all-time high.
In the face of such challenges, creativity and outside-the-box thinking have become a necessity for many school athletic departments to continue to provide the highest quality education-based athletic experiences for students and school communities. Finding solutions to these challenges can be victories within themselves; however, when these creative solutions can contribute to learning opportunities for students, the benefits can be invaluable.

Michigan football players give thanks to community by giving back
WZZM-TV
Union High School football coach Don Fellows made it clear that his team wasn't looking for any kind of special recognition when it showed up to rake leaves along Tremont Court. The players were just looking to help their neighbors.
The coach and his players might not want to brag about the good deed. But their neighbors sure do want to brag about these kids.

Coaches and fans of Walsh Jesuit High School soccer get heated over calls during game
WOIO-TV
Coaches and fans are caught on camera as they lose their cool, screaming at referees at the end of a high school playoff soccer match.
What began as friendly competition between the Walsh Jesuit High School girls soccer team and the Strongsville girls’ soccer team on Saturday, ended with Walsh Jesuit losing the game and the head coach and an assistant coach aggressively taking to the field in an attempt to confront a referee.
The two coaches were apparently angry after Strongsville was granted a free kick or penalty kick that won the game.

30 years after moving to Texas, Bob Wager's family is living the Friday Night Lights dream
The Dallas Morning News
Football consumes Bob Wager's life, but his family shares his passion. He sees them more these days: Gage plays on the Arlington Martin team. Mia performs on the sidelines as one of three sophomores to make the varsity cheer team. Amy yells in the stands.
“It’s every father’s dream,” Bob said.
The scene at the Wager home embodies the best parts of Friday Night Lights in the collective imagination: Warmth and community pride. Young men playing the best high school football in the land.
As a kid in Johnstown, N.Y., a small community in upstate New York, Bob only heard folklore about Friday nights in Texas.
Now, he lives it at the spirited pep rallies and in the massive high school football stadiums.

National study finds potential link between video gaming and improved cognitive performance
Lab Manager
A study published in Journal of the American Medical Association Network Open finds a potential association between video gaming and improved cognitive performance in children. These effects were only present in those who reported playing video games for three or more hours daily. The research team analyzed data pulled from the ongoing Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) Study, which is “the largest long-term study of brain development and child health in the United States.” The ABCD Study is tracking the biological and behavioral development of around 12,000 participants, who joined the study at nine or 10 years old, into young adulthood.

How higher intensity exercise can improve your heart health
Healthline
A recent study of activity levels and heart health found that brisk physical activity is more likely to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease than more moderate levels of exercise.
While physical activity has long been known to reduce the rate of certain heart conditions, the specific type of activity has typically not been separated from the duration of activity.

A new Diabetologia journal study discusses the associations of breaks in sedentary time and timing of physical activity with insulin resistance and liver fat content among a middle-aged population.
The current obesity pandemic is partially due to a sedentary lifestyle and lack of daily physical activity. In addition to obesity, sedentary behaviors can also increase the risk of cardiometabolic diseases such as type 2 diabetes.
