Parents wondering if it’s safe for their high school student athletes to use creatine? The answer is yes!
Be sure to get it from trusted companies, 3rd party tested and contaminant free, @MLB & @NFL use only @NSFCertForSport approved products.
Creatine supplementation without exercise training and diet intervention increased lean tissue mass, strength, and muscular endurance while promoting favorable changes in selected blood lipids, HbA1c, and selected markers of cognitive function and memory. Creatine supplementation during an exercise and weight-loss diet intervention increased lean tissue mass, promoted a greater reduction in body fat percentage, and improved muscular strength, endurance, and selected markers of cognitive function and memory. Supplementation was well-tolerated.

Yes! 💪🙏
Strength training might be the single most potent habit for aging gracefully and extending lifespan. It certainly appears to be one of the best methods to prevent the need for joint replacement surgery. After 30 years of practice, there’s no doubt that, in general, and within reason, stronger people keep their joints longer.
Muscle is not simply a tissue that moves us around; it is one of the most metabolically active and adaptable organs we have.
In this post, I explore why a tissue we initially thought only provided locomotion and stability should probably be considered one of the most critical tissues in the body.

Great drill to do to improve hand/eye coordination, glove skill and infield footwork! Please share with your Youth ball players in your homes, on your teams and in your networks. 💪
Here’s a simple fielding drill every kid should be doing!
All you need is a glove, a ball and a wall!
You don’t need a coach with a fungo hitting you short hops from 6 feet away!
That’s eyewash for the cameras!
If you want to get better you have to practice.
Good luck!

See it and hit it Mijo! 💪
This is worth the read #shegone nation!
“I watched my son set up a tripod the other day.
No coach hovering.
No commentary.
Just him, a bucket of balls, a tee, and his phone positioned carefully across the plate.
He hit record.
Stepped in.
Went to work.
And it struck me — now that is a modern training tool that actually deserves to be called a Training Tool.
Not because it tells him what to think.
Not because it forces him into positions.
But because it lets him see.”

Yes! These kinds of program "turn arounds" just don't happen by chance. Gotta have the horses no doubt... but the system needs to in place, rock solid and elite for us to witness what we witnessed the last 2 years with IU Football.
YES! Preferably baseball specific periodized strength training programs on the front burner for Nov, Dec, Jan and Feb... running parallel with baseball skill work ramping up in Jan, Feb prepping for March HS tryouts. 💪
Kudos to both the LA Dodgers and Toronto Blue Jays for putting on such a great World Series for the fans. A true Fall Classic it was. Both TEAMS fought to the end. Congrats to the 2025 WS Champs LA Dodgers! 💪
YES! Love this MB! Thank you for sharing! 💪🙏
