How some high school athletes found silver linings amid COVID-19 challenges
Poughkeepsie Journal
For many local athletes, the glimmer of light in 2020 was Section 1 proceeding with a fall high school sports season, which concluded this week. Despite all the changes and restrictions that COVID-19 forced on athletes, sports offered a welcome quasi-return to normalcy.
For some, though, the benefits were personal and aided, strangely enough, by the restrictions. As one of the athletes said, success can sometimes be found in setbacks. And serendipity is possible, even during a crisis.

Since 1882, Needham and Wellesley High have meet for a Thanksgiving football clash. Not this year, though.
Milford Daily News
For many years, Needham and Wellesley High have staged the oldest public school Thanksgiving Day football game in the country.
Unfortunately, the 133rd edition of the Turkey Day (or day before) contest won’t happen this year due to the coronavirus pandemic canceling the annual game. But that doesn’t take away from just how special the rivalry is for players, coaches, alumni or those who have attended any of the 132 meetings dating back to 1882.

Coronavirus pause causes concerns of mental toll on high school athletes
MLive.com
When the Michigan Department of Heath and Human Services announced an order last week to shut down high school sports, the first thought for many coaches and athletic directors was not the games lost or the championship opportunities that may never come.
Instead, their thoughts went straight to the mental health of the athletes who once again this year saw their lives turned upside down amid a global pandemic.

High school coach takes brave stand against COVID-19
The Associated Press via The Gazette
For Mark Rose, football is more than a living. It's a way of life. But it's not worth dying for. Rose has become a lonely but powerful voice: a longtime high school coach — one of the more successful in football-mad Alabama — who finds it ludicrous to be carrying on with high school sports in the midst of a devastating pandemic. He felt so strongly about it that he quit his coaching job at Russell County High, a school in the rural, eastern part of Alabama, not far from the Georgia line.

'We had to step forward.' Palmetto football legend teams with sheriff to feed 200 families
Bradenton Herald
Cars rolled into the parking lot of Lincoln Memorial Academy as volunteers handed out 200 boxes of turkeys and all the Thanksgiving fixings, but the annual event almost didn’t happen this year.
The fourth annual Ray Bellamy and Sheriff Rick Wells turkey giveaway on Tuesday had to undergo some changes this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. When public safety is your top priority, as it is for Wells, you do something safely, or perhaps don’t do it at all.

Coaches tie the knot
The Examiner
When Tyler Rathke arrived at William Chrisman High School he made an immediate impact on the track and field program. He also made an impact on a young teacher who split her time in the computer lab between Van Horn and Truman high schools. Oh, and she also happened to be the daughter of Rathke’s boss, Chrisman principal Mike Becker. Saturday night, in a joyous, yet socially distanced wedding at Woods Chapel First United Methodist Church in Lee’s Summit, Jackie Becker became Mrs. Tyler Rathke in a fairytale evening that defied the pandemic odds and came off without a hitch.

This is the mental health impact on young adults from erratic school closures
Fast Company
Amanda Fialk writes: "I am a mental health professional who has worked with adolescents and young adults for more than 15 years. Though I am not a public health specialist, pediatrician or an expert who can comment on school reopenings, from where I sit today, I am gravely concerned about the mental health impact of the erratic school closures on our already emotionally and mentally vulnerable youth population."

Not only are 20-somethings experiencing the highest rates of loneliness right now, more 18- to 24-year-olds are also thinking about suicide.

What inclusive leaders sound like
Harvard Business Review
When leaders commit to building an inclusive organization, they tend to start with the company mission, vision, values, and a promise to ensure everyone in the organization has a voice. But if they don’t change the way they communicate every day with their employees, leaders are missing a crucial piece.

Exercise after COVID-19? Take it slow
The New York Times
Jordan D. Metzl, M.D. writes: "For the past 20 years, when patients asked me about exercising while recovering from a viral illness like the flu, I gave them the same advice: Listen to your body. If exercise usually makes you feel better, go for it.
COVID-19 has changed my advice."

How to sculpt your shoulders, safely
Men's Health
Your shoulders, which are not just one or two muscles but complex structures composed of muscles, tendons, and ligaments supporting ball-and-socket joints, are involved in pressing movements, rotation, and more. If you're working on training your upper body, your shoulders are most likely involved. That's a good thing—but also a reason to be cautious.
