New Prague Strength and Conditioning

Feel free to share if needed, but this is a friendly reminder that we will always promote athletes doing more than 1 sport. I have had multiple athletes tell me in recent years that they only play basketball, or baseball, or any other various sport the entire year. While I love seeing students involved in sports, I always encourage them to take up another sport. We could talk for hours on the subject but we can narrow the benefits to 2 simple ones:

1. Different sports require different training of the body. This includes neural, muscular, and metabolic.
2. Early specialization in a single sport can lead to burn out and mental fatigue in athletes.

You will find below a few interesting pictures: in the 2019-2020 Super Bowl, 94% of KC was multisport athletes and 91% of SF was multisport athletes.

Lebron James was a phenomenal HS football player.

Robert Griffin III has the 2nd fastest 400m hurdles time in Baylor history

Finally, Joe Mauer was one of the best pure hitters in the MLB for a period of time. He was the top-rated QB in the COUNTRY.

All I am trying to say is that is ok not to be a full-time baseball or basketball, etc. player when you are in elementary or middle school. Have fun, be a kid, build friendships with teammates in multiple sports, and (most importantly) enjoy your MS and HS years as much as you can!

Hey all,

As you have seen in remind, we are moving our last 2 weeks of summer weight room online. It gets said a lot, but our main priority always has been and always will be the health and safety of athletes and coaches (and their families as well). I have told students this summer "there is no workout that is worth endangering the health of yourself and/or your family".

I want to thank everyone involved for making this work for as long as we could. It felt good to be working with students and being back to somewhat "normal". I know we will come out of this stronger and have a deeper appreciation for what we have. I have thoroughly enjoyed each moment from this summer and I hope to be back working with our amazing students soon.

I will attach workouts to this post. Please do not hesitate to reach out with questions!

Take care and stay safe

Sincerely,

Coach Feehan

Hello parents of MS and HS weight room athletes. You will be receiving an email with more information but our program will be online for the next 2 weeks. Our priority is the health and safety of our students and coaches. But that doesn't mean we will be skipping workouts! I will be attaching a link to 5 days of workouts for this week! They can be done any time and do not require equipment! There are video links to some of the movements that students may not know. Please let me know if you need anything during the next 2 weeks. I will post next week's workouts at the beginning of next week as well.

Stay safe!

Message that was sent out on remind!

For high school weight room on Monday June 29th. Sessions 1 and 2 canceled for today, i will make a decision on sessions 3 through 5 later this morning and communicate that asap. Stay safe!

Hey all! What a great first day for High school strength and conditioning!

With the guidelines and regulations in place, we are doing everything outside this year to accommodate our students and keep everyone safe! Both the HS and MS programs will be outside at the practice fields for the entire summer.

Speaking of, there is always a chance that we will not have a session due to bad weather. In terms of communication for that I will be posting in the Google classroom that a majority of students were a part of and I will be posting a reminder on here and on New Prague Happenings to reach as many people as possible. Please make sure to spread the word when an event like this occurs!! Our goal is to keep students and staff safe and effectively communicate closures/cancellations.

Please message me with any questions and I would love to help out.

I am thankful we are getting this opportunity this summer so let's make the best of it!
