Ram Country, Here We Come

February 3, 2012

Rockford is next up on our "Battle of the Fans" tour, and we'll be making our stop for tonight's boys basketball game against Hudsonville.

So far, all good. We're having a blast. We've been to two Class B and one Class C school, and all three have brought a ton of what we're looking for in a "Battle of the Fans" champion. Rockford is one of our largest Class A schools -- so we're expecting more big things, especially amid the Twitter buzz we've been following this week.

MHSAA staff and Student Advisory Council members already have visited Frankenmuth, Grand Rapids Christian and Reese, and will finish up Feb. 17 at Petoskey. Voting on our Facebook page runs Feb. 20-23, with the winner selected Feb. 24.

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.
