Rachel is now heading to her dream school, UCLA! This is a very special girl who I know will be such an encouragement and strength to the team.

One area that is often overlooked in the athletes life is hiring an Athletic Performance coach. We are so fortunate to have Mike Linn who was the Director of Athletic Performance at UCLA for 25 years. He shares the many benefits as to how he can help the Level 9 working to become a Level 10 in regards to strength and also how the recruited Level 10 needs to be prepared for college in the area of strength training.

Mike also works with athletes who are returning to their sport after an injury. He builds a plan for each athlete as well as enhances their confidence to comeback strong.

If you would like to talk with Mike about what he offers, go to www.jhicksconsulting.com click on Get Started and fill out the Athletic Performance forms page. He will give you a call.

I was inspired by a recent interview with Scottie Scheffler, the top golfer in the world right now. He talked about winning and fulfillment. Take a listen and set aside some time to ask yourself, why you do sports. Are you fulfilled when you win? How might this be impacting your results?

I believe there will be many college coaches at the Power 5 schools possibly looking for specialist in the next few months. If that is you, get your event ready. Vault and Bars are the two events most college coaches seem to be looking for to fill in their lineups.
