High 5s: Back again
September 12, 2012
Each week, Second Half recognizes multiple athletes and teams from around the state of Michigan for their accomplishments while participating in MHSAA sports. We'll begin dishing out High 5s again beginning next week.
While larger stories about the honorees will be posted to the site throughout the week, check back in this spot each Wednesday for the full list of our selections, links to their stories and a running list of honorees for the entire season.
Know an athlete or team with a great story? Email editor Geoff Kimmerly at [email protected] and tell him about it. Again, most of our honorees will be recognized for what they do athletically; but we also enjoy telling the state about the great things our athletes are doing in the classroom and their communities.
Coaches Guide to Nutrition: Underfueling
October 28, 2025
Athletes push their bodies to perform at high levels — and that requires consistent, adequate fueling.
Without enough calories to support training, recovery, daily life, and growth, performance and overall health can suffer.
In fact, underfueling — whether intentional or unintentional — can lead to a serious condition called Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (REDs), which affects both male and female athletes.
Don’t let low energy hold you back! Fuel your body, protect your health, and train strong.
