Bolingbrook junior Kai Evans has the same endless motor and toughness that so many of Rob Brost’s players have displayed.
Next season, with Darius Burford graduated, he’ll be the Raiders’ star. Tuesday was a sneak preview of what the future holds .

Adam Thielen, undrafted WR from Minnesota State, leads Vikings with 74 catches for 1056 yds. Coming out of college, Thielen was not invited to NFL Combine. How did he get noticed? "I worked on nothing but speed until I could run 4.45."
Speed is a skill.

STATS STORY 📝: bit.ly/2oZNffd
As we approach basketball season for college pro athletes, having worked on the speed power end of spectrum too soon and too much, and skipping over the strength end of the spectrum will potentially lead to injury reduced performance, but looks sexier on social media.
Speed kills, speed wins games. Coaches, want your athletes to play fast? Then ditch the agility ladders, stop the “mental toughness” conditioning, and don’t worry about one rep maxes in the weight room. Make speed a priority
Welp, @meyersleonard t̶r̶a̶p̶ ̶b̶a̶r̶ American deadlifted 455x10. This is just bananas for a 7-footer: one of the most impressive gym feats I’ve seen. It inspired us to start a new company called ‘Meathead Movers’. Click the link for more info:

I got Joel Smith’s Speed Strength for my birthday. Excellent read right from the start. On athletes with speed practice issues that the weight room couldn’t assist: “At the end of the day, athletes should learn to run fast first before being fed heavy weights and rep maxes.”
