STACK
From April 21: Sometimes drinking or eating healthy foods doesn’t have the best taste. However, they can provide excellent and easy nutritional content. Although it may seem new and popular, athletes have been drinking this fermented juice. It may seem gross to drink pickle juice, but maybe the benefits outweigh your taste.

By Scot Davis

Over the course of time my ideas regarding practice structure have developed based on several factors.

Portal Problems: Why local high school coaches are concerned with NCAA transfer rules
WKRC-TV
From Aug. 11: For the last 25 years Elder High School's Doug Ramsey has patrolled the sidelines of "The Pit" adjusting and evolving with the latest trends and fads of the game. But it’s the change of the last few years that has Ramsey and plenty of other high school football coaches concerned about the future. On Oct. 15, 2018, the NCAA opened the transfer portal and college sports was forever changed. In the four years since the portal opened, there has been a drastic change that can be felt across all levels of sports.

Mom must pay coach $50,000 for defamation in dispute over daughter's playing time
The Pioneer Press via The Mercury News
From July 14: Nearly nine years after leading a campaign of lies to get her daughter’s basketball coach fired, a Minnesota mother has agreed to pay $50,000 to settle the coach’s defamation lawsuit. Julie Bowlin, 55, also signed documents admitting she made numerous false accusations against Nathan McGuire, leading to his 2014 dismissal as a coach at a high school in Woodbury, near St. Paul.The settlement comes three years after the Minnesota Supreme Court revived the lawsuit, finding that a parent’s criticism of a high school coach is not protected by the First Amendment because a coach is not a public figure.

The best team building actives for your athletes
STACK
From March 3: Bringing a team together is just as important as teaching the fundamentals of the sport, and more important than winning. If they learn to work together, they will play better. They don’t have to be best friends (although that doesn’t hurt), but if they can learn to care about and respect one another, your team has a better chance of a successful and enjoyable season.

After Supreme Court backs praying coach, no sweeping changes
The Associated Press
From Sept. 29: Across the ideological spectrum, there were predictions of dramatic consequences when the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in favor of a public high school football coach’s right to pray on the field after games. Yet three months after the decision — and well into the football season — there’s no sign that large numbers of coaches have been newly inspired to follow Joseph Kennedy’s high-profile example.

Why a 14-year-old boy is outlawed from playing on his golf team
Golf Digest
From May 5: Luc Esquivel hits in silence, too engaged with carving trajectories through the Knoxville sky to chat. When he does speak, the words “My bad,” or “Agh, sorry” tumble out, prompted by a shot that didn’t follow his directions. That’s the type of 14-year-old Luc is, apologizing for things that don’t need an apology. He’s dressed in a black hoodie, ripped jeans and gray Chuck Taylors, and by himself. If it were up to him, he would be practicing with the high school team. But Luc was not allowed to try out because the Tennessee state legislature said he could not.

Regulating anger in young athletes
STACK
From Feb. 3: Young athletes play sports for fun. As they mature, they become aware of their thoughts, emotions, feelings, and sensations. This can either be constructive or interfere with their play. You don’t have to worry about the positive ones so much. The negative aspects like anger and frustration need to be managed.

How to get athletes to speak up more during games & practices
STACK
From July 22: One of the most significant components to team success, in the locker room, on the practice floor/field, and during game action is for players to be vocal with each other. So why can players be on social media for hours or talk non-stop before, during (on the bench), and after practice about irrelevant to the game things, but when you ask them to communicate on the court/field, they become silent? When better communication is vital, whether calling for a pass, talking on defense, or giving encouragement and praise to each other, how does a coach or coaching staff get their players to open up more with their teammates?
