Expectations for Samohi Athletes @SMMUSD @SamohiPrincipal @SamoVball @SamohiPE @SamoAthletics

Most kids who play sports won’t go on to play professionally, or even collegiately and that was never really the point. Sports give students the chance to learn how to work with others, respond to challenges, lead, and grow in confidence. Those lessons matter long after the final whistle. At the NFHS, we believe education-based athletics are about supporting students as people first and athletes second. Because success in sports isn’t only about what level you reach. It’s about what you learn along the way. #EducationBasedAthletics #TheRealWin #PlayPerformCompeteTogether

Overprotected kids become unprepared adults. Dawn Staley nailed it.🔥 You can’t shelter your child from every hard moment and then expect them to handle adversity when it counts. Hard is the lesson. Watch. Share. Bookmark.

Today’s students will be tomorrow’s leaders. So, while the goal of playing high school sports is to win, the true purpose is much greater—FOR STUDENTS TO LEARN AND GROW AS PEOPLE. And that deserves to be protected by us all. #ProtectThePurpose protectthepurpose.com/posts/…

With the softball transfer portal being officially open, please remember: 🥎 725 entered the portal in 2025, 30% (275) did not matriculate at another NCAA school (any Division). 🥎 25% of those who were on aid when they transferred did NOT receive aid at their new school.

Important news from the NCAA on age-based eligibility. Notably, an athlete's eligibility clock will begin upon initial full-time enrollment in college or at the beginning of the academic year following their 19th birthday, whichever occurs first. ncaa.org/news/2026/6/5/media…

High school sports help students become part of something bigger than themselves. Along the way, they develop discipline, resilience and leadership skills while building strong connections to their teammates, schools and communities that can last a lifetime. 🔗 nfhs.org/stories/answer-for-…

Every baseball dad believes the same summer lie: “More games = more development.” The science says the opposite. ⚠️ Pitching more than 8 months per year = 5X higher injury risk ⚠️ Pitching with arm fatigue = 36X higher surgery risk ⚠️ Year-round baseball increases UCL tears The damage usually starts at: 14. 15. 16. A 2025 NCAA study followed elite pitchers through 8 weeks of throwing only. Average velocity change? 📉 -6.3 MPH. Meanwhile, velocity-specific strength training produced: 📈 4.72 MPH. Translation: Your son is not getting better playing 60 games this summer. He’s getting: ❌ More fatigued ❌ More injury-prone ❌ Closer to surgery The players throwing harder in the fall usually spent summer: ✔️ Building strength ✔️ Improving mechanics ✔️ Training rotational power That’s why we built the 3X Velocity Camp. ⚾ 2-Day Elite Velocity Development Camp 📍 Covington, Louisiana 👥 ONLY 8 athletes per camp ✅ AI 3D biomechanical evaluation ✅ Olympic lifting instruction ✅ Velocity-specific training ✅ Live radar gun competition ✅ FULL YEAR of the TopVelocity App 📅 Upcoming Dates: • June 6–7 • June 20–21 • June 27–28 • July 11–12 • July 25–26 🔗 topvelocity.org/3x-velocity-… 📞 (985) 315-3130 Tag a baseball dad who needs to hear this. — Brent Pourciau
