We’re also very pleased to welcome teams from other western states and British Columbia as well. Thank you for the effort it takes to travel far distances during the Holiday Season to compete in the Jamboree.

A big shout-out goes to our sponsors and advertisers for helping make this tournament possible, and allowing us to continue the tournament for many years to come.

Thanks to all the coaches for their dedication to girls basketball. The Jamboree appreciates your efforts.

This year also marks the sixth year of the West Coast Jamboree (a 501C-3) being managed by the Hoosp4Girls partnership retained by the board of directors of the registered nonprofit. On behalf of the partners, Associate Executive Director and Tournament Director Harold Abend, Tournament Director Kelly Sopak and me, we hope you enjoy your stay with us this Holiday Season, and hope to see you here in future years.

Beware System Overload My basketball coach likes to press and run. Some players think we would be better off if we didn’t press, but my dad says we should focus on throwing the ball down to the block and trying to score from close to the basket. Then I keep hearing about Dribble Drive Motion, which I guess is what a lot of good teams run now. What’s the best system for high school basketball?

G. T., Santa Cruz

S

imple answer: There is no perfect system, in basketball or in life. There are deeply complicated philosophical reasons why this is true, even in the most structured situations. So in a fluid, constantly changing environment such as high school basketball, no collection of Xs and Os is going to work for every team every time.

There are a couple of constants, however, and no good team — or at least very few — can be without them.

1) The players must play hard. There’s no substitute for this, and Phil Jackson could come in and install the triangle at your high school, but if the players don’t play hard, it won’t matter. Even the most talented teams have to be substantially invested in success.

A perfect example is last year’s CIF Division II boys state championship game, which matched Long Beach Poly and its 4,500-person student body versus Serra-San Mateo, with fewer than 1,000 boys. Poly was uninterested, and Serra thumped them pretty bad — but had you gone by talent, depth and skill, you would’ve expected Poly to win, perhaps even easily.

2) The coach must understand his system and believe in it. Sometimes high school coaches decide to adopt the flavor of the month (whether it be the triangle, flex, or any number of successful systems) without fully understanding it. The nuances of any system are the key, and it takes time to fully

grasp them. A coach who adopts the system because he thinks it will work, and hasn’t spent a lot of time studying it, could be in for a rude awakening.

3) The players must believe. The coach must communicate his commitment to the system, and his commitment to the idea that it will be successful, to his players. However, whatever system the team runs likely won’t work against a superior opponent. So the players are faced with a choice: blame the new system, or blame themselves for the loss. It doesn’t take a Ph.D in psychology to know which way that’s going to go…

If those three things are in place, any system will be successful. Granted, there are marginal advantages in one particular style of play over another, especially if personnel changes radically from year to year. Yet there’s also a lot to be said for continuity. I’ve always felt that a high school coach who installs a different system every year to take advantage of his talent runs the risk of spending so much time teaching the new system that he loses ground in other areas. If the system is the same, then players can focus on such things as making open shots, which is usually the most important factor in any game.

So don’t worry about the system, try to tell your dad not to worry, and just commit yourself to the coach, the program and your teammates. If everyone plays hard, and plays together, good things will happen. On the other hand, if everyone sits around moaning about how things would be so much better if we just ran the offense they do at the school down the road, it’s not going to turn out as well as everyone hopes. ✪ Clay Kallam has been an assistant athletic director and coached multiple sports and a handful of high schools throughout the Bay Area.

Bowl Bits

Musings On The CIF State Bowls As Football’s Final Weekend Approaches

I

f anyone out there remembers some of our ancient CalHi Sports newsletters from the 1980s or 1990s, they’ll recall that founder and record book compiler Nelson Tennis (my uncle, who died in 2004) did a short series of comments he called “Random Remarks.”

With that in mind, here are some random remarks heading into the CIF state football championships scheduled for Dec. 16-17: ›› It’s a great list of QBs whose alma maters are playing for titles, including Tom Brady (Serra-San Mateo), Aaron Rodgers (Pleasant Valley-Chico), Derek Carr (Bakersfield Christian) and USC’s Sam Darnold (San Clemente). ›› Carr’s former school, which is playing Campolindo for the Div. IV-AA state title, is coached by his brother, Darren. His other brother, David, the former No. 1 draft pick, is the offensive coordinator. David Carr also was an NFL QB for 12 years. ›› San Clemente’s QB this season, Jack Sears, recently switched his commitment from Duke to USC. And before Darnold, the Tritons had QB Travis Wilson, who went on to star at Utah. That’s three Pac12 QBs in a row from one high school. ›› It’s hard to argue against competitive-equity divisions when so many of the games come down to the wire. There is a fairness issue that arises, however, when teams that don’t win league titles can drop to lower divisions and can compete for state titles, especially when the league champion gets knocked out in a higher division. Del Oro in the Sierra Foothill League (Sac-Joaquin Section) and San Clemente (Southern Section) in the South Coast League are great examples. They are playing for the Div. I-A state title but in league Del Oro lost to Folsom 42-7 while San Clemente lost to Mission Viejo 41-3.

Folsom and Mission Viejo both lost in higher divisions. ›› The other aspect of competitive-equity divisions that has the potential to be the most messy is when a school with a massive enrollment advantage gets to play another with small-town style enrollment in a state final. That hasn’t happened yet in California, but it could since the CIF Southern Section is now completely competitive equity while other 12

sections like the Central and North Coast are not. ›› If you’re a fan of computer rankings, yes, they have their place. But sometimes they are just plain ridiculous. Entering the state finals, the MaxPreps’ computer ranks St. Mary’sStockton ahead of De La Salle-Concord even though DLS hasn’t lost to a NorCal team since 1991. Ask any FreedomOakley players who faced both teams in consecutive weeks, which one was more difficult to play. The MaxPreps’ computer also had Del Oro ahead of Folsom. Ahead of Folsom?

Guess that game when the Bulldogs dominated the Golden Eagles 42-7 didn’t count for too much in that algorithm. ›› For comeback team of the year, a great candidate may be St. Patrick/St. Vincent-Vallejo. Head coach Lane Hawkins has done a remarkable job turning around a squad that went 2-8 last year and closed with a seven-game losing streak. The Bruins rolled over Brookside Christian-Stockton in the NorCal Division VI-A final 47-18 to advance to the state final Subscribe to S360 at SportStarsOnline.com

against unbeaten Strathmore. Quarterback Akil Edwards, who got the scoring started against Brookside with a 26-yard run, has been one of the reasons for the turnaround. ›› Sierra Canyon-Chatsworth, the school facing Serra-San Mateo in the Division II-A state final, has been collecting a lot of hardware in different sports lately. The Trailblazers swept CIF divisional state titles in basketball for the 2014-15 season, won a CIF Southern Section title this fall in girls volleyball and were the 2015-16 Cal-Hi Sports Division IV State School of the Year. Sierra Canyon’s boys basketball team, which features UCLA-bound Cody Riley and one of the nation’s top juniors, Marvin Bagley, was No. 1 in the state and among the top five in the nation as of December 12. ✪ Mark Tennis is the co-founder of Cal-Hi Sports, and publisher of CalHiSports.com.

Turn Out THE JAM Platinum Division

As 132 Teams Prepare For The 17th West Coast Jamboree, We Take A Look At The Top Three Divisions

SportStars™

December 2016

After a one-year hiatus, St. Mary’s-Stockton is back and looking to add a fourth Jamboree title to its 2001, 2007 and 2014 crowns.

Besides St. Mary’s, this year’s Platinum field includes three defending CIF state champions, Open Division champion Chaminade-West Hills, Division III champion Sacred Heart Cathedral-San Francisco and Division IV winner Cardinal Newman-Santa Rosa.

St. Mary’s will be the favorite and as of December they were No. 4 in the Cal-Hi Sports State Top 20 and sporting a 5-0 record that included 74-55 and 69-63 victories over Cardinal Newman and Sacred Heart Cathedral, respectively. The Rams are led by Cal-Hi Sports’ reigning State Sophomore of the Year, Aquira DeCosta. After five games, DeCosta was averaging 18.2 points, 13.4 rebounds and 2.4 steals per game.

Injuries have some St. Mary’s stars sidelined, but others have stepped up as three other players have joined DeCosta in double figures. Junior guard Neenah Young was at a 16.4 ppg pace, fellow junior guard Ariel Johnson was averaging 11.4 points, 5.0 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game, and 6-1 freshman wing Amaya Oliver posted 10.4 points and 6.2 rebounds a game. Analysts are really talking up Oliver as the next force in Stockton.

Sacred Heart Cathedral was No. 5 at press time in the Cal-Hi Sports rankings and playing very well.

They won the La Jolla Country Day Sweet 16 Invitational with a 78-75 OT victory over state-ranked Mis-

sion Hills-San Marcos and gave St. Mary’s all it could handle. Cincinnati-bound 6-1 senior IImar’I Thomas was averaging 25 points and 14 rebounds a game through Dec. 12. Head coach LyRyan Russell has just about everyone back and has been getting excellent play from senior guard Edina del Rosario.

Cardinal Newman was 4-1 through Dec. 12, and although they have the 19-point loss to St. Mary’s, the Cardinals moved up in the Cal-Hi Sports rankings after a 60-29 win over Oak Ridge-El Dorado Hills. Head coach Monica Mertle has a lot of talent led by Boise State-bound 6-3 senior forward Hailey Vice-Neat and University of Portland-bound 6-5 center Lauren Walker.

Chaminade lost two All-Americans off the 2016 Open Division champions and has struggled a bit to start the season. However, the 2012 Platinum Division champions still are formidable and are led by the senior duo of Isabel Newman and Melissa Wright.

Salesian-Richmond lost two games at the Iolani Classic but they will come into the Jamboree well rested and should be a force. Sophomore 6-5 post Angel Jackson (11.5 ppg, 9.0 rpg), sophomore forward Makayla Edwards (9.8 ppg, 5.2 rpg) and senior guard and transfer Sierra Smith (7.8 ppg, 2.7 assists) are the Pride’s top players.

Three Sacramento-area teams round out the Platinum field led by state-ranked McClatchySacramento which got off to a 5-0 start. The Lions are the top team in the Sacramento metro and feature Utah-bound guard Jordan Cruz. Antelope, led by senior Bailey Hawkins (12.8 ppg) opened the year 5-1. Sacramento High will be looking for momentum after a slow start. ✪

Diamond Division This field features a slate of compelling matchups with teams from the East Bay, North Bay, Sacramento area and one team from out of state.

Elk Grove features Sacramento Bee Player of the Year Mira Shulman, who through six games was averaging 18.3 points, 6.8 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 4.0 steals, and 2.3 blocks.

Paiton Demps provides an additional threat for the CIF Div. II state runners-up.

St. Mary’s-Berkeley counts on Carolyn Gill and Da’janae Evans to lead the squad, but also be on the lookout for freshman Kayla Roseman, who averaged 11.6 points per game over her first five games. Another team from St. Mary’s league, St. Joseph Notre Dame-Alameda breezed through the Eagle Eye Classic to begin its season. The 2016 Division V NorCal runner-ups feature a strong post presence in Kayla Nunn and Aiyanna Dueberry.

Prairie, hailing from Washington state, returns to the Jamboree after a one-year absence. Jozie Tangeman and Grace Prom were all-league selections last year, while sophomores Cassidy Gardner and 6-foot, 3-inch Brook Walling are players to watch.

Defending CIF NorCal Open Champion, Miramonte-Orinda, is counting on Elle Louie, Clair Steele and Jordyn Bryant to lead things following the graduation of USA Today and MaxPreps National Player of the Year Sabrina Ionescu (now at Oregon), as well as Keanna Delos Santos and Uriah Howard.

Janae Fairbrook averaged 11 points and 4.5 assists per game for St. Francis-Sacramento a season ago, and returns to lead the CIF Div. I state runners-up. Arcata opened its season strong behind a trio of players (Vanessa Holland, Kaylie McCracken and Ashley Quigley) each averaging over 14 points per game.

Inderkum-Sacramento opened the year slow, but does feature one of the Sacramento region’s top freshmen in Maile Williams.✪

Gold Division This bracket includes the reigning Gold champion Antelope, which totaled 56 wins over the past two seasons. Arianna Spann, Bailey Hawkins, Azanna Sands and freshman Jordan Goodwin are each averaging at least 10 points through the first six games of the new season. The Titans open with HeritageBrentwood, a North Coast Section Div. I runner-up which returns plenty of talent, including Mikaila Wegenke and Jordan Sweeney.

This field also features the defending CIF Div. I state champion Brea Olinda-Brea. The Wildcats feature Tyiona Watkins, who scored 22 in the state title game and averaged 16 for the season. Jeff Sink, the L.A. Times’ Girls Basketball Coach of the Year for 2015-16, is back at the helm.

Woodside Priory opens against Brea Olinda. The Panthers return a trio of stars in Tatiana Reese, Ila Lane and Gabby Ruiz and already grabbed hardware at the Robert Louis Stevenson Tournament.

Vanden-Fairfield has a superstar in Julia Blackshell-Fair. She’s currently ranked the #92 overall prospect by ESPN, and while it hurt to lose Kiana Moore to graduation, the Vikings figure to be a strong presence once again. Vanden took third in the Diamond Division a year ago. They open against a Narbonne-Harbor City team looking to take off after a 14-14 rebuilding year.

Manteca fields Loretta Kakala and Sydney Fryer, both of whom averaged double digits scoring last year, when the Buffaloes made the section playoffs. Kakala is committed to Louisville. Manteca faces Campolindo-Moraga in the first round, a team with high hopes behind junior Haley Van Dyke who averaged 19.2 points, 15.5 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 4.7 steals and 3 blocks in her first six games. She has matured along with fellow juniors Ashley Thoms, Aubrey Wagner and Jessi O’Reilly. ✪ — Harlold Abend and Scott Giorgianni

Decoding December M uch has been revealed in the early going of what will be a long basketball season, but there’s still a lot left to figure out.

The No. 2 girls basketball team in the nation, Archbishop Mitty-San Jose, lived up to notices by outlasting Clovis WestFresno in the finals of the ‘Iolani tournament — but Clovis West took down previous No. 7 in the nation Long Beach Poly in the semifinals. Meanwhile, Salesian-Richmond stumbled twice against Hawaiian teams, a major surprise that may wind up keeping Salesian out of the Open Division in March.

St. Mary’s-Stockton’s demise has been somewhat exaggerated, as the Rams knocked off a strong Sacred Heart Cathedral-S.F. team by six on Dec. 10. Freshman Amaya Oliver and junior Aquira DeCosta are a tall, long, athletic front of a 2-2-1 full court press that, as usual, will put St. Mary’s near the top of the state rankings all year, and given a good performance at the Nike TOC, into the national rankings as well.

Carondelet-Concord and Brookside Christian-Stockton have both played well, though both have lopsided losses at the hands of Clovis West, a team many expect to be moved to the NorCal half of the CIF Open Division once section championships have been decided. If that happens, teams like Cardinal Newman-Santa Rosa and Miramonte-Orinda may not qualify for the Open — which would make Division II and Division IV

December 2016

NorCal championships much tougher to win for other teams.

An early surprise is California-San Ramon, which has rolled to seven straight wins and two tournament championships. They have two more tournaments on tap — the Acalanes Tournament and the West Coast Jamboree — and should they win both of those as well, they will have clearly marked themselves as a team to take seriously.

But the big tournament for NorCal teams will, oddly enough, be in Arizona. The Nike TOC, as always, is chock full of nationally ranked and California teams. The Joe Smith Bracket, the top 16, has Mitty, St. Mary’s and Clovis West, plus an assortment of national powers from as far away as Maryland, Pennsylvania and Tennessee. The John Anderson Bracket, the next one down, features Carondelet, which will open against one of Tennessee’s best teams, Brentwood Academy.

Vanden-Fairfield is also in that bracket, along with Southern California heavyweights such as Brea-Olinda-Brea, Mater Dei-Santa Ana and La Jolla Country Day. Miramonte and Bishop O’Dowd-Oakland are in the third bracket, which also features teams from all over the country.

One or both could wind up as section champions and be assigned to the Open Division. Sacramento and St. Francis-Sacramento are in the Derrill Kipp Bracket, and could conceivably play each other in the second round.

A Lot Will Be Learned This Girls Tournament Season All of these results will be critical when the newly formed CIF girls basketball committee sits down at the end of the section playoffs and determines which teams go in to the Open Division. Sacramento, say, which battled Oregon favorite Southridge and its 6-4 freshman center, Cameron Brink, to within six points on Dec. 10, could use the TOC as a springboard to a solid postseason seeding or even a berth in the open division. (Brink, by the way, drew college coaches from all over the country in her two-day sojourn to Northern California. Tara VanDerveer, in fact, came to Laney College Saturday just two days after knee surgery to watch Brink display speed, skill, good hands and a shot-blocking ability at near-Brittney Griner level.)

Of course, the worst thing that can happen in postseason is to be the number eight seed in the Open, and draw Mitty, Clovis West or St. Mary’s-Stockton in the first round. The way the system is structured, the best outcome is to be the ninth best team in Northern California — unless you happen to Mitty or Clovis West or St. Mary’s — drop down to your assigned section division, and be the favorite to hang a banner on the gym wall.

Even though these early December results will be overshadowed by what happens later, the committee won’t forget. A big win in December is going to count for a lot, though a big win in the section playoffs will probably count for more. ✪ — Clay Kallam

go the dis A Pair Of Scenic And Fun Running Events Highlight The Onset Of 2017 In The Redding And Shasta Lake Region

A

ffectionately referred to as “26.2 With A View,” the Redding Marathon returns for another year of distance running among some of Northern California’s most scenic landscapes and landmarks.

January 15 is the date circled by several distance running enthusiasts who will line up near the Shasta Dam for the start of the Redding Marathon, an event that features a breathtaking 26.2 mile jaunt across some of Northern California’s finest landscape.

Competitors can take a free bus to the start of the Redding Marathon. Enjoy the warmth of the Visitor‘s Center located near the start of the race and be ready for an 8 a.m. start.

Runners enjoy a scenic journey downstream along the Sacramento River on paved running trails. Watch for bald eagles, osprey and other wildlife. Athletes competing in the Redding Marathon will cross over the Shasta Dam, through an old railroad tunnel and across the historic Diestelhorst Bridge, the Ribbon Suspension Bridge and to the finish line located on the famous Sundial Bridge.

The Sundial Bridge at Turtle Bay crosses the Sacramento River in the heart of Redding.

Opened on July 4, 2004, the bridge links the north and south campuses of the Turtle Bay Exploration Park and serves as access to Redding‘s Sacramento River Trail system.

Not quite prepared for marathon distance? That’s fine. Take part in the three-leg marathon relay, or participate in the Sundial 5K which begins at 9 a.m. Also, for those serious runners, it’s worth noting that the Redding Marathon is an official qualifier for the Boston Marathon.

Competitors can register online right now at reddingmarathon.org

CLIKAPUDI TRAIL RUNS Just two weeks before the Redding Marathon takes place, outdoor enthusiasts can spend New Year’s Day taking part in the Clikapudi Trail Runs which occurs along the shores of Shasta Lake.

The Trail Runs offer a variety of distances: a 5K, 10K and half-marathon. Races begin at 10 a.m. at the the Jones Valley Boat Ramp approximately 10 miles north of Bella Vista. The trail is a seven-mile loop on the south shore of the lake.

Runners begin on a one-mile stretch of road to the trail crossing where 5K runners turn right, and 10K and half-marathon runners go left. The road portions of the race feature gently rolling hills. The 5K portion of trail is relatively flat single track and the 10K portion is mostly flat with three medium climbs along the way.

All races have a 1:30 p.m. cut-off time and half-marathon participants must finish the first lap by noon or they will only be given credit for a 10K. Walkers and hikers are each welcome in the 5K and 10K. Registration is open and greatly favors those who sign up early. Competitors who register before Dec. 1 will receive the greatest discount ($17 for 5K, $22 for 10K and $33 for half-marathon). Registering between Dec. 1-30 will still save you some money ($24/$33/$44). Prices will be $30/$40/$50 on Dec. 31 and race day.

Sierra College’s Renown Duals Wrestling Tourney Gets A New Name And Home For 2017 Sierra College Wrestling and Placer Valley Tourism are partnering to bring the Capital City Classic Wrestling Tournament to Rocklin on Jan. 7. For the last three years, this high school varsity tournament was held in Sacramento and known as the Dragon Duals. It has not only changed its name but the location too. This year Hardwood Palace has the honors of hosting this successful and growing event.

This incredible venue will allow ample space for the 10 mats that will showcase up to 32 teams on a rotational format. Don Martinez, head coach at Sierra College, is looking forward to bringing this event to Placer Valley and is expecting top- notch competitors.

“Top wrestlers from Northern and Central California high schools will be competing,” Martinez said. “And as a dual tour40

nament, every team is guaranteed five matches.

“We are excited to have it at Hardwood Palace this year. It’s a great facility that has a nice hospitality room for the coaches and everyone will enjoy the snack bar that is open all day!”

Medals will be given to undefeated wrestlers and trophies will be awarded to first-, second- and third-place teams as well as a hard luck champion. According to Martinez, a hard luck champion is someone who loses their first match and subsequently gets put in a loser bracket before going on to win that bracket.

Weigh-ins will begin at 7 a.m. with wrestling matches starting at 9 a.m. It’s not too late to sign up your team! For more information or to download the event flyer, simply go to: placertourism.com/events/2017CapitalCityDuals. ✪ Follow us on Twitter & Instagram, and like us on Facebook!

CalNASP puts a bull’s-eye on youth archery Placer Valley Tourism is thrilled to announce — in conjunction with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife — the first-ever land-based tournament for schools participating in the California State National Archery Schools Program (CalNASP) is coming to Placer Valley on Saturday, Feb. 4.

This exciting archery competition will be held at Sierra College’s gymnasium in Rocklin and is open to students in grades 4-12 that are enrolled in CalNASP. Lesa Johnston, CalNASP State Coordinator and Education Specialist for the Calif. Department of Fish and Wildlife, explained that archery is beneficial to students in a variety of ways and can help them achieve goals because of the skills it instills.

“To be a great archer it requires mental concentration, focus and practice, but the playing field is level for all.”

Follow us on Twitter & Instagram, and like us on Facebook!

There are nearly 100 schools throughout the state that are active in CalNASP and they are expecting up to 300 students to compete at the February tournament. Students will have the option to compete as an individual or on a team; both methods provide positives for these young athletes. Students competing as an individual can set specific goals and learn from those, whereas competing as a team allows students the opportunity to learn team building, camaraderie and cooperation skills.

“Target archery is an inclusive sport,” Johnson said. “Students of all athletic and physical abilities can participate.”

If you are interested in more information about this event and this incredible program please check out the website: www.wildlife.ca.gov/Learning/CALNASP. ✪ — All copy and photos provided by Placer Valley Tourism.

Build Your Back Stability And Relief For Overhead Athletes Can Most Always Be Found By Strengthening The Back Muscles

health watch: carleen Baldwin It’s the most wonderful time of the year — winter break! For many overhead athletes, winter marks a well-deserved rest following fall sports prior to the start of spring baseball, swimming, rowing, tennis and lacrosse.

With the growing trend of single-sport athletes, a short break may be an indicator for shoulder overuse and injuries. Winter marks an opportunity to optimize mechanics, strengthen weak muscles, and improve movement patterns.

Overuse and poor mechanics are the main culprits for shoulder injuries plaguing overhead athletes. The shoulder is comprised of four different joints with nineteen muscles crossing them. During a throw or pull, muscles along the thoracic spine (mid-back) should stabilize the scapula (shoulder blade) allowing the arm to propel the ball or body. Ideally, force is generated through the legs and trunk to produce power. Weakness in these areas can lead to fatigue, tissue microtrauma and overuse.

Adaptive changes can occur to accommodate the repetitive stress to the joint, affecting the scapula’s resting position and ability to efficiently rotate upward. To help strengthen these weaknesses, here are ways to improve mechanics and movement patterns: ›› Invest in a foam roller to improve thoracic mobility and soft tissue restrictions: Lie on your back with the head supported lengthwise. From here add different arm movement variations including bringing the arms through the full range of motion overhead in a backstroke motion or out to the side like a jumping jack. ›› Strengthen the hips and core to stabilize the spine: Add air squats, resisted side steps, step ups, single leg squats and plank variations into workouts. ›› Strengthen the scapula stabilizers that control upward rotation: Lying on the stomach, keep the chest and stomach flat with a towel supporting the forehead. Lift the arms in three different positions with the thumbs up; the letter “Y” with arms overhead, the letter “W” with elbows planted on the ground and wrists up, and the letter “T” with arms horizontal. Repeat ten reps with five-second holds. These exercises can be progressed with an unstable surface (swiss ball), adding weight, or increasing sets, holds and/or reps.

If it is difficult to get into a position or there is a concern for form with these drills, a physical therapist can be contacted at the Sports Medicine Center for Young Athletes for a thorough evaluation. Lastly, an athlete should seek out further assessment from a physician when there is painful movement or dysfunction. ✪ Carleen Baldwin is a physical therapist and certified strength and conditioning specialist for the Sports Medicine for Young Athletes department of UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital Oakland.

TIRED Wondering If You Need To Drag Your Fatigued Self To The Gym? Let Your Goals Be Your Guide

powered by trucks: anthony trucks Have you ever felt that feeling where you KNOW you need to go to the gym and train, but your body just doesn’t feel like moving? Yeah, me too. In fact, I get that feeling more times throughout a month than I’d like nowadays. The big question that we all have to answer in that moment is, “What should I do?”

Well the answer is both simple and complicated. Why? Because it depends on your goal and the reason why you’re training. When you train tired you put yourself at a little more of an increased risk, not to mention that you may not get the most out of your workout if you’re unable to perform at the level you need or want to.

If your goal is to be an elite level athlete like I was in the NFL, then you will need to learn to prime your system and “turn on” even when you’re tired — because working when tired is an opportunity to get an edge on your competition. When they’re sleeping, you can still be working.

On the flip side, if you’re just looking to be healthy then you may not have an immediate need to push through the fatigue and tiredness. Overall, the goal should be to avoid injury at all cost so you will want to look into taking time to recover properly so you don’t put yourself at risk. It’s not going to kill you to take a day off and get a moment to rest. When you do, you may in fact come back stronger than before. Make sure you listen to, and take care of, the one tool you can’t replace by giving it rest when needed. ✪ Anthony Trucks is an IYCA-certified trainer who covers weight training for SportStars.

MISSION: Healthy Holidays

Nobody Needs To Call In Ethan Hunt — This Mission Is Certainly Possible

nutrition: jill daniels The holidays are a fun time to gather with friends and family, take a break from your normal routine, and eat delicious foods that are available only once a year. This season can also be challenging, especially for athletes, for these very same reasons. Here are some strategies to help keep athletes and their families feeling their best throughout the holidays:

TRAINING If you are still in season, or your coach expects you to stay fit over winter break, make sure to carve out time for training during the holidays.

Besides hitting the gym, head to the park with friends or family members for some circuit training or lace up your running shoes and explore a new neighborhood.

If you’re not in season, this may be a smart time to get more recovery days and allow your body to heal, rest and recuperate. You can incorporate some active recovery days by going for a walk, doing some light lifting or taking a yoga class.

SLEEP Most teens don’t get the 8-10 hours of sleep each night that they need. Take advantage of your school break and head to bed early when you can, sleep in, and even take a nap after lunch.

These resting hours will help your body recover faster and will be helpful, especially if you’re going through a growth spurt or healing from an injury.

HOLIDAY MEALS Don’t go to a party on an empty stomach, as you may end up with the kind of hunger that sends you diving head first into the buffet table. Eating several small meals and snacks throughout the day will keep your energy levels up, and help you make wise decisions about what and how much to eat at the party.

SWEETS & TREATS You don’t need to avoid Grandma’s homemade cinnamon rolls that you’ve been waiting for all year; or those salted caramel chocolate chip cheesecake bars and the pumpkin crumb cake muffins.

It’s fine to include some fun foods in an athlete’s diet, especially as post-workout foods, since they have plenty of carbohydrates to help replenish your depleted stores.

The holidays can be a great time to practice some new strategies and overcome challenges experienced in years past. Enjoy this special season by staying healthy so that you can have a great start to the new year! ✪ Maximize your performance by seeking out personalized advice from Nutrition Coach Jill Daniels, MS, RD, CSSD, Certified Specialist in Sports Dietetics. www.JillDanie lsRD.com
