Yellow Flag Productions – which produces State Champs! Sports Network – and FOX Sports Detroit received a Michigan Emmy Award on Saturday for their “Concussions and the Modern Athlete” program that detailed the effects of concussions in athletics and steps being taken by the MHSAA to enhance awareness and care at the high school level.

The award – presented by the state’s chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences – came in the category of “Children/Youth/Teens – Program/Special.” The show was hosted and reported by State Champs’ Kiara Hay and included interviews with MHSAA Executive Director John E. Jack Roberts and Assistant Director Kathy Vruggink Westdorp.

The show was part of the State Champs! Summer Series in 2017 and aired on FOX Sports Detroit.

Coaches Guide to Nutrition: Underfueling

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.
