ATHLETE NUTRITION

Proper nutrition is a must in the world of competitive athletics.  What separates many athletes looking to get scholarships is their performance on the field.  In order to preform at a higher level than your competition sometimes it comes down to how you fuel your body.  Many times the big things are easy like showing up and working out hard in the weight room, taking care of grades, working on your skills, but many times we miss the little things that make sometimes the biggest difference.

 Nutrition is a topic that many young athletes do not get enough information to act correctly.  Charles Poliquin has some great articles about nutrition.  If you don't know, Poliquin is a long time strength and conditioning coach who has trained the U.S. national teams as well as other great athletes.  He advocates a high protein, low carb diet.  His article lays out studies conducted that eating a higher protein based diet along with strength training will increase muscle mass along with raising 1RM numbers.

Poliquin also clarifies the difference between good carbs and bad carbs.  Vegetables are the best source of carbs you can intake with the major exception being potatoes.  Any high starch vegetables are a bad idea especially in large amounts.

It can be really simple, don't eat these foods:

• Soda
• Potatoes
• Candy, Cake, Cookies and other Sweets
• Bread (especially white breads)
• Pasta

Eat these foods:

• Meats
• Vegetables (excluding high starch foods)
• Dairy (Milk, Cheese, Yogurts)
• Fruits
• Drink Water

ATTENDANCE INCENTIVES

With football strength and conditioning in full swing it is important to remember the incentives for not missing workouts.  Also it is important to remember that we do not just work on weights but also work on footwork as well as communicate important information.

Organized Team Activities Incentive

• Discount on team practice pack (tee & short/girdle)
• Team rubber band bracelet
• First pick of equipment (organized by class & excluding numbers)
• Reward celebration
• Eligible for being elected team captain
• Primary boarding on away trips (organized by class)
• First in line for team meals (organized by class)

• Participation in other sports is encouraged and all players that participate with another sport in season will be exempt from the 10 day attendance regulation.  Players are still encouraged to come to OTA's when possible to maintain proper lifting technique. Out of season participation in another sports conditioning program does not excuse a player from the 10 day attendance regulation.

• 1000LBS Club
• Before the start of August camp players will perform maximum efforts for our 3 core lifts bench, squat, and power clean.  The players will have their weights on the core lifts added together and the players that reach a total of 1000 LBS will receive discounted apparel.

• To ensure the safety of all  participants in addition to all required documents the players will need to pass a practice readiness conditioning test.  The requirements of the test will be based on our team strength and conditioning program.  It is a responsibility of the school and athletic department to make sure all participants are prepared for the physical challenges of football.  The test requirements will be announced at a later date.
