WHY?
Why do we do what we do?

To better ourselves as people and as football players.

When the “why” is clear, the “how” becomes easy.


SUMMER SCHEDULE
The 2017 summer schedule has been established.  Please be sure to visit www.woostergeneralsfootball.blogspot.com for any updates or changes within the calendar.  
The summer months are critical for the development of our football team.  With only 14 opportunities to solely lift weights, it is critical to try and make each and every opportunity in order to make maximum gains in the areas of strength, power, speed, and size!  Make it a priority to be at the lifting sessions regularly!  

“We don’t rise to the level of our expectations, we fall to the level of our training.”
– Archilochos

IT’S THE 4TH QUARTER!!!
The 4th nine weeks determines eligibility for the fall - All current 8th grade student-athletes must pass 5 classes in order to be eligible in the fall.  All student-athletes in grades 9-11 must pass 5 classes as well (PE classes do not count).  If you are struggling in a particular class, please see any of the coaches so that we can get you the needed assistance.


NUTRITION TIP OF THE MONTH
  • TIPS FOR WEIGHT GAIN
  • To gain 1 to 2 pounds per week, you must add 500 to 1000 calories per day to equal 3,500 extra calories a week. Simply put: you must take in more calories than you burn off!
  • - Eat 4 to 5 meals plus 2 to 3 snacks a day.
  • - Start a meal with food, not liquids, so have the sandwich first, and then the shake.
  • - Replace low-or no-calorie beverages with juice, lemonade, milk, and sports drinks instead of water.
  • - Try to eat one-quarter more at every meal and snack.
  • - Keep snack food around to nibble on.
  • - Add higher calorie foods to every meal: granola instead of sugar cereal. • Add nuts to cereal or snacks.
  • - Eat bagels instead of bread.
  • - Add more protein, but only four ounces more a day, through food, not supplements. Choose cheese, low-fat lunch meats, and an extra piece of chicken, milk and yogurt.
